And well, not that its a bad game, but after playing VG you get bored of it very quickly! - Its fun, but cant really take it seriously.
Worth playing! and may even be worth buying simply because of the amount of players it has.
But It has given me a deeper appreciation of VG.

I have been playing it for about 2 weeks now and it is definitely not aimed at the same audience as Vanguard. I get the feeling people who liked Horizons might like it.
They are tightly constrained by the LotR canon, which among other things, eliminates the possibility of a true wizard or ranger class (wizards are few and demi-gods, rangers are a separate, currently non-playable race).
Having not played WoW, I can't compare; however, I think it is misleading to draw too many comparisons between the two. LtoRo is story driven and it's PvP is almost a separate game (fully consentual, with separate player controlled monsters for low levels; separate zones). Visually it is stunning (especially with the high resolution textures that were only available from a few pre-order sources).
