I've seen the post LOTRO is a Bad WoW Clone. Let's step back and see what they are trying to Compare. Now Remember WoW Copied 90% of their content from EverQuest.

Ummm looks like there are more simularities with SOE Games than with Blizzard. Who would you gather ideas from Blizzard who is still an Infant in the MMO Community or Sony who's Original Game has outlasted ANY & ALL Other MMORPG's. Face it EverQuest is still played by alot of people and is the Reason why Online Gaming became a successful business. Turbine has more in common with SOE than with Blizzard.

I don't like comparing. It happens but I feel LOTRO can make its own fame for being what it is.

Player Classes:

Burglar = Rogue
Captain = Paladin + Magician
Champion = Petless Beastlord
Guardian = Warrior
Hunter = Wizard
Lore Master = Enchanter (Sorry NinetyNine now its here)
Minstrel = Cleric with Bardish Aspects

Similar...

And thanks for omitting LM's. It made me almost feel like I was trying to get a group in the game instead of sitting at my desk at work.

Interesting comparison, I just couldnt get past all the "simular"s. You should get Firefox 2, it has a built in spell checker.

nice description.
