I was able to buy it for $9.99 which includes the first month. Lifetime sub is now $299. Monthly fee is $15. I'll give it a month...

Well I downloaded the 10GB+ free trial. Tried to get it to run - just hangs on black screen as soon as the game launches. Spent almost an hour dredging through the tech support to find the "top 4 reasons why you get a black screen on launch" - LMAO . Did all 4 of them. Still get black screen. Wow, 3 hours of trouble shooting later and I still can't get the game to work. Guess I won't be subscribing *eyeroll*
But other than that it seems like a great game. lolz
This gives no one any help to help you.
What resolution is your desktop at? What graphics card? Current drivers? What res is the game at on launch? Is the game in windowed or full screen mode?...etc
Well I got it figured out. The first time through I checked for sound driver updates with vista because I figured that would be sufficient. It didn't update. This time I went to mobo website and downloaded the driver manually. Fixed the issue. Guess I was just being lazy. Never had this kind of a problem with a sound driver.
I only played for 10 minutes or so last night because it was past my bedtime. I'm kind of underwhelmed with the graphics. Even at max resolution on ultimate settings it still looks pretty mediocre, IMO. Don't know what I was expecting though.

Well, more issues. Now the game crashes to desktop about 50% of the time at launch. It has also frozen 3 times in a row when I was able to get to the character creation menu. WTF? Shouldn't this crap be fixed by now.

Well, let me know if you want to re-up after a month and I'll see about getting you a key for the 9.95 (or 9.99) price. At least you can access those bows I mailed you now.

Started the trial last week as a hobbit minstrel and I am definitely not liking the game. The whole starting area (Michael Delving and such) is such a mishmash of little towns and huts that there is no continuity between quests at all. I'm basically just running around and each town has new quests that are not related at all. I'm level 12 now, and reached an area a level 10 quest told me to go to, that gave me level 7-8 quests. wtf? Friends say this area is really crappy as a starter area, but it's been such a turn off for me I don't think I'm gonna continue.

Hobbits are a nightmare and so is their starting area.
I much prefer the Dwarven starting area of Thorin's Hall. It is a testament that my only two characters to make it past level 10 started in Thorin's Hall.

Is that $10/month forever? I could use one of those . My son got the game for his birthday and loves it.

I hate The Shire. Yes, it's nice and very "book-like" but I can't stand running my characters through there. Breeland and Ered Luin are much better starting areas IMO.

You don't like the quests where you deliver mail and pies? :laugh:

I have been playing for about 2 months now and well the game isn't bad but it isn't great either. The lack of PvP gets old I think. The PvE content is vast and pretty interesting but it becomes a little bit of a drag to always have to find groups to advance the story. My Loremaster is currently at 35 and is fun to play but the grind is starting to set in. I do like the traits aspect of the game as well as the use your skills to improve them idea.
