I don't know.
When the game came out, it was like I was all about it, on fire to play everyday. But now, I find it hard to log in sometimes. Not sure why. The same thing happened to me in WoW a few times. Maybe I just get bored too easily. At first, the game was everything that I wanted in an MMO, but now, I find it so frustrating to have 10 fellowship quests, and then never be able to find a fellowship. Most "solo" quests require some help. It really is impossible to solo 3 waves of 3 men when defending a man or whaterver. I don't claim to be an uber player, but I know that I am decent, and as a Champion, which supposed to be one of the elite dps classes, I just can't seem to mow em down fast enough. "The champions best defense is a good offense." Well, I think that it needs some tweaking.
Not to mention that when you are trying to get from point A to point B, it is like going through a freaking unpenetratable fortress. Even on a horse, you have to try to miss all of the bears, wolves, and men that hang out EVERYWHERE, who constantly attack you, and knock you off of your horse. I don't know about you, but I find it really annoying when I am trying to run on the path, and I get attacked by everything, even deer.
It's just kinda losing it's luster to me. If it wasn't "Lord of the Rings," I probably wouldn't be around any longer. I absolutely love the idea, and I don't "hate" the game. I am just frustrated with some of the things in it. Sometimes, I just want to solo some stuff, and I can't. Finally, after I do solo what I can, I can never find a group, and then the group sometimes sucks... well, most of the time sucks unless it's a kinship one.
I think it just lacks alot of content. Everyone is doing the same quests to reach 50, as to where in WoW or EQ, one can choose between 3-4 or more different zones to level. LoTR just doesn't offer alot of instances to go to. I would really like it if they had places to go to where you can fight bosses and earn awesome armor and weapons. Bosses don't drop crap, at least from level 1-40 they havn't.
Anyways, I know myself enough that I will be okay. Maybe I just need a little break or something. I have found that my funnest times were with Creed and his wife. When we three teamed up, I had a blast because we could get the stuff done together, and level together. But once they surpassed me, I am now alone, and can never find any help.
My friend plays CoH (City of Heroes). I used to play it a long time ago. I actually thought about going back to it today. I don't know. Maybe online gaming doesn't do it for me anymore. Maybe I am just doing the same thing that I always do, get flustered, leave for a couple weeks, then come back, get flustered, leave for a couple weeks, come back, etc.
I don't plan on leaving, I just feel like when I log in, I don't have that "excited" attitude, but almost a "here we go again" type attitude. Guess we will see in the future coming days. Again, don't think I am leaving, I have no unction to do that, I just havn't logged on as much as I used to, and I wanted to share some thoughts that I was having.
