Due to the age / considerable length, this thread has been continued here.

Must be a good deal of people testing it, taking forever to create the beta account, reminds me of WoW on a regular night when trying to login.

 

[Bateluer]

I file any game based on a movie under 'Exploitation Title' and don't waste the money on them.

It gets better, there are like 22 updates once you get it installed and they are large.

Is it even worth my time to beta test it or is it more fun to study for Organic Chemistry and Genetics finals than play this game?

Genetics yes, O-Chem no...good lord did I hate O-Chem.

Can anyone download and test it? My dinner just got cancelled tonight so I am up for some gaming!

Edit: linkage anyone? My Google finger is broken

 

[bcterps]

It's a closed beta, so you can't just download the client and play it. I got my invite last week but haven't had time to fool around with it. I created an account last night and ran the install this morning before I went to work so I hope to get a feel for it when I get home late tonight.

 

[KeithTalent]

Ok, just submitted my application.

Now we play the waiting game...or maybe Hungry Hungry Hippos...

 

[Yreka]

One ring to rule them all...

Just got my invitation today, I presume that they are going to do a massive stress test as my previous beta testing credentials are nonexistent, either that or turbine is desperate for beta testers. Is there anything left of Middle Earth Online in it or has it all been reworked into another WoW clone by Turbine since they took it over? I loved the books, movies were ok, this game follow the books strictly and have an in-depth storyline?

Next phase of beta starts on the 30th

i kinda forgot the beta open tonight, I'll defiantly be on at 8pm est. thanks for the reminder.

 

[sonoma1993]

im in line waiting for people to log in. i guess the world is full. I'm in the queue position 3007 . This can take awhile.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Looks like Arwen just crashed, thankfully I was 4975th in line at the time and not <100.

 

[Bushwicktrini]

Down again but Gandolf killed the troll I guess I'll log in Fri.

OH yeah toon name is Herid lvl 1 dwarf

 

[Balt]

Got my character (Dwarf Warrior) created. As soon as I tried to leave the starting area the server went boom, though.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Created my character, played through the first zone, then got booted. Anyone else having audio problems? Or is there not much sound in there to begin with, also, anyone else notice the animations are very jerky, or is it just my system lagging?

 

[Balt]

Not having any sound or animation problems, just problems staying on the server.

Same. Although I found the default sound to be too loud

 

[Bushwicktrini]

The LAG my god the LAG sniff such a good looking game but the LAG did I mention the LAG?


Quest objects need to spwan more and alot of quest are bugged but it is moving in the right direction

Anyone else have thier main toon lock up on the loading screen?

 

[Fingolfin269]

I think I'm too Tolkien-centric to enjoy this game. Do they have people running around casting fireballs and such?
