We're all nostalgic of the old extensions time, but we have to be realists and accept that it won't be back.
That game has evolved and its main target are carebears. Not forcedly solo'ers, or...

This is not a bad thing according to some. It has no effects. Lotro has become a solo RPG, so interacting with other human beings is no longer necessary. Having the channels deserted helps on...

Do not feed the trolls.

This game is totally made for the players of your profile OP, since it is a single player game with a wrong multiplyer wrap.

There is a huge difference between what you want and what will happen.
Sadly I fear that will see Hytbold 3.0 at HD.

+ rep, we're on the same wavelength I notice. Your post sums up my own story with lotro.
Pre RoR I spent more time on cosmetics sections than complaing. That speaks volume.
With the hindsight,...

That's trolling and off topic as the post does not address the thread's title ' what would it take for you to come back'.

Secondly it shows close-mindedness as it imposes that people in order to...

Actually we have answered the topic several times already, just rephrased differently.

And I agree with Judgejoako's two above posts. This guy has some talent to sum up in three sentences what...

It shows how you're missing the point.
Players complain because now paths of less resistance provide equals or better rewards, alongside with the fact that a clear progression is shattered.
Before...

Because now Jack is forced to play like Joe.

I disagree. Many things changed between ROI and RoR. Turbine fixed things that were not broken in the first place. Some just ask to revert those changes back. Enjoyment thus did not naturally...

I agree with Mrnarfy's post.
Despite all the changes that may have touched the genre, there is still a 'line', constant elements that allow to distinguish MMORPGs from the rest including Single...

The simple fact that there is a debate about the meaning, nature and implications of 'Massively Multiplayer' on the forum of a game announced as a MMORPG speaks volume.
It's because some elements...

So true.
While the reverse is generalized. Go into WoW forums , ToR forums, and see countless threads asking to change the games into Single Player modes.
The difference between Blizzard...

Agreed with dannypl and Whatevaplz's posts.
I could not have expressed those points better myself.

Progression in its entirety maybe not, but for the best progression yes. In the MMOs I play you still have to embrace multiplayer content to benefit from the best progression. In lotro you don't need...

Because many are there for the license, the lotr universe, and could not care less about the format. SG, Moba, action,etc.
But I agree, that's not an excuse to become very vocal and turn this game...

Progression via solo, that's totally the definition of a Single Player Game.
And that's exactly not what I initially have signed for.

I agree with most posts above.

But if I had to choose one: Multiplayer content.

A raid like ToO with assorted progression whether in term or challenge than in term of loot distribution.
Aka...

That makes sense, but Turbine has to earn that thrust and subsequent money first. What you do is a bet, a blind investment. That's your right. But in the end it does not guarantee anything, and...

That's the concept of pre-orders. They rely on blind faith. Faith that the content not accessible yet will be good.
Not entirely true, but that's still the concept.

It's true that we don't have all the details regarding HD, but the last twitter chats with the developers clearly indicated the future direction the game will take.

> No new plans for PvMP
> No...

I agree. Angmar, Dol Dinen and the likes, were truly the places of dread back then. And I don't think it has only such nature due to our biased nostalgia.

As for balance being hard to achieve, at...

I agree and I approve. Since the game is F2P, you can still enjoy it - to a certain extent- without having to pour a single penny. No buyer's remorse. A win situation for the users.

Yep those fights are not that challenging for seasoned players, but that does not answer the question which was has lotro had encounters of similar difficulty? Nope. Thus my statement that lotro is...
