Free is nice!
I was able to play for a few minutes last night. I was quite surprised of the quality of graphics and the
endless character customizations (check out the advanced settings for the face *
*). Really cool stuff. In game looked really nice too, but I was only on for like 5 minutes so I didnt venture past the intial starting area. There was a wide variaty of characters around me and the mobs near by were quite interesting looking. It is very WOW-esq from what I can tell. Oh and jumping is fun
!
Yes, there is a shop to buy items with real money. From my initial readings, it seems like you can still get good stuff in game; it may take longer, but you can get it. Some items can only be bought through the store.
My only major problem so far is the fact that you cannot change key-bindings or resize the UI. High res settings will make the UI not unusable but kinda small. Hopefully the the Devs will fix this in a later patch. The suggestions forum has this listed as an issue.
I think this may be something my Fiance and I can play together since she does not have a LOTRO account. I will try to keep ya'll posted, the more I get to play it. My name is dragontricks on the Sanctuary server if anyone wants to find me.
Laters,
