Hello there! I've played FFXI for nearly four years and have no intention of stopping, but my bf has recently become bored and frustrated with it and expressed an interest in us playing LoTRO instead. I've got a copy of the game for him for Christmas, and was glad to see it came with several buddy codes so that I can see if it will run on my Macbook in bootcamp.
I'd really appreciate some advice about the various servers. We are from the UK and would really like to play on a server with a lot of people from Europe so that we don't have to stay up ridiculously late for US peak-play time. We are casual sort of players who would be doing a lot of duo/soloing. My bf really hates partying, especially with pick-up groups for some reason, and never partied when playing FFXI except on rare occasions with people we know IRL who used to play. We're not role-players, but don't mind a bit of minor RPing from others.
I've seen a lot of recommendations for Meneldor, so I'm guessing that's where most of you are. I haven't been able to find any LoTRO community forums that are especially active, even on the official site. Does anyone know where there is a large and active discussion for LoTRO?
I hope you can answer my questions, and thanks if you had a look.
