I picked it up and have been playing for a couple weeks. I love all the Middle Earth stuff and have had fun exploring the world in a way you don't through the movies or the books.

The game runs very smooth and is visually appealing. Game play is very WoW-like, but I think less instance grinding for gear and much more story based (at least to me). Very solo friendly (through lvl 30 at least).

Its NOT a pvp game, and I don't think it would be appropriate to have KGB as a faction there, but it's certainly fun.

Just curious if anyone else has tried it.
