Anyone else still playing?

Anyone else still playing?

Just wondering. I know we had a massive attrition around the end of the summer - but I haven't seen razor on for a while either. I'm still enjoying the game, but I'm only level 45 so maybe end game sucks.

I'm not, I lost my motivation a bit when we got split up on levels and everyone was either too high or too low to do anything together.

I talked to Razor the other day in wow, he's been playing that a bit, but I got the impression he was still doing Lotro some too so who knows.

Aion has my attention atm outside of the wow raids though.

I haven't played in a couple weeks and don't see myself re-starting. I had a fun time while leveling, but it just didn't have the "umph" at level cap to keep me interested. The trait grinds made me want to claw my eyes out, combined with what seems to overall be a lack of anything organized at level 60 beyond just the 6 mans.

Lotro seems to have a lot of new to MMO people in it - which isn't bad except a number of them don't want to learn anything about their class and how it works in a group. It got tiring watching the huntards and RKs not care that they pull aggro off the tanks. It was also frustrating with the way Turbine works threat/aggro - the tanks have a hard time building it but healers have no trouble. Wiping because mobs are chasing your healer around with no one able to pull it off or really CC it was annoying as heck too.

And, honestly, I found I just missed tanking. I tried leveling some of the Lotro tank classes, but I just didn't enjoy any of them mechanics-wise.

I'm with Razor for the most part. The game was fun early on but endgame grinding and the instances didnt do anything for me at all.

Playing Aion here now myself. Pretty fun so far, leveled a Chanter and Templar to 30 and mostly playing the Templar (main tank) now because the guild didnt have a higher level tank.

Lots and lots of grinding in this game too, but so far it hasnt been as enenjoyable as I found it in LoTR. I think a lot of that is the spell/special system Aion has. Very cool animations and combo chains make it fun even just grinding shit.

Havnt done a lot of PvP yet but what I did do was fun. Flying in combat sure makes it interesting, not as easy as you might think.
