I love all the kindness in this thread. It's that what charity is all about?

So is it ok or not to say that it is also a tragedy that so many innocent civilians also died in street bombs on the same day in Iraq? Or is this not allowed because of some reason of twisted logic....

It was intentional. This is their strategy - and I sure they have discussed and decided for their reasons. No advertising for Lotro.

WB/Turbine sent me an email (gotten from my Lotro account)...

Clearly WB's and Turbine's strategy is to make some money off Lotro but not to make it bigger. That's why they did no advertising during the Hobbit movies.

And that's why they now have TV adds for...

Instanced! does not mean Instance!
Instances means group content/dungeons and raids. GB is a low level instance.

Clearly he is not speaking about traditional instances - which is why in the next...

So? He just says: "After we’ve shipped the expansion we’ll evaluate the remaining potential revamps vs. making new instances. "

How is this in any way promising? He says they will only think about...

Oh but they can win! Just put out an expansion with full instance content. Not minimal content with few instances and single-raid bosses.

Why is Turbine so unwilling to do this? Why are they so...

Not at all. Companies just differ in how open or honest/ethical they are. Although marketing can stretch the truth often.

But look at Trion and how they told well in advance what was in the...

This is how Turbine always operates. Be as vague as possible so something sounds really good. Delay telling about any limits to a product.

I remember all the posts saying, well it will be okay...

It looks to me like they will have no instance or raid content in this expansion. As they tried to do with RoR.

They will charge $40 for the expansion plus another $10 or $20 for the instance...

Skype and Google calling is NOT free. Not internationally. And with Skype - you can never call free to a landline - only to another person on Skype on a computer. So no - it is not free.

It would...

I like the ideas. Some good and cool suggestions.

Just want until it is day in the US, and hopefully you can get some kinder, less dismissive/rude responses.

@whheydt
Who made this your forum?...

So there is no way to a mount for a lower level character? I thought that was what festivals were for. Is there anything actually useful for lower level characters?

It is a problem. I am glad you brought it up. Not many are offering any solutions.

Despite the fact that some players want to play on small servers, and despite the fact that Turbine will not...

lol they are not estimates. Of course not.

Someone is querying the servers for logins per minute (using the system Turbine has created through the API), recording the data, and then putting it on...

Yeah it was a joke. Although I guess you could have a lot more in WoW - one time playing at cap I pretty easily had over 1,000 gold.

Think about it - if what you say were true them someone would have to spend hours making up data for every server, and have them all match perfectly, and for example, show bumps when steam starts to...

And WoW only lets you bring 50,000 gold with your character! What a rip off! I guess its to stop gold sellers.

What happens in Lotro is a new player (if not savvy) chooses the recommended server....

Data comes directly from Turbine - from their servers. It is logins per minute. Look here for more info: http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Data.lotro.com_Usage_Guide

Don't know where you got this...

I can agree that I am not stating facts. I have no god-like knowledge of everything.

But is it pretty obvious they spent no or little money on the festival this year. It is undeniable in many...

I don't understand why people are surprised (I get disappointed though).

Turbine is not investing in this game. The money you spend in the store goes to WB and work on Infinite Crisis. Think about...

No, you're not missing anything. Turbine is putting out the minimum of end game content they can get away with. There is not much to do at level cap. They dropped the ball with this part of the game....

So Turbine, are you just going to give the 500 TP to players who notice they didn't get it? Or are you going to go through every VIP account and make sure everyone gets what they are owed.

I am a...

Yeah, for me using the AH low level is all about buying the really cheap items - never anything too expensive. I am mostly just spending the money I get from questing and playing to upgrade my items...

No, if I wanted to say that, I would just say that. Don't put words in my mouth.

He can post as much as he wants. But he is accusing me of posting false information. And I asked him to prove that....
