What does it actually offer that makes it worth playing over any other MMO?
I was thinking the same...im sure millions of wow/daoc players will whine about this game having similar interface! :D

well

you both didnt like it anyway so you prolly wont be as open as i was with liking it.

I like the fact that you dont feel like you need/want to level.
You can spend time farming or just general relaxing running about doing postal quests/pie deliverys. (you get xp with postal/pie quests).

The crafting .. i actually WANT to do it and resent any time i have to take off my pipe-weed empire..but i do take time off it cuz i want to do the stuff in my log.
You can aim to kill 30 wolves to get the title Fur-Cutter (as a hobbit - the races have diff titles) or not. You can group or solo.

Its well..just relaxing.
no other game offers pure relaxation :)
with all games you need to do stuff.
With this..even when you are and it might be hectic - you are relaxed.

And tbh.. ive never seen spiders drop from the ceeling on threads in any other game so this was a first for me ^^

Thats not my point, my point is that there are people who just can't accept that even the slightest pixel reminds of another game when a new game is released. :) Like with vanguard, i've seen several people cry about the interface reminding of the one they use in world of warcraft - big deal, as long as it works its imo good. Whats so bad about taking things from other games? (as long as its good things)

true ..
well those people are just muppets then :)
and if they gonna let a silly think like a UI looking like Wow affect them then theyre daft..
Mainly cuz i thought WoW's customizeable UI was excellent. ;)

But maybe..I can draw a lot of distinctions between WoW and LotR

The postal system - you can post things to alt chars on your account (which is brilliant..best invention in games yet!)
You can coose to run without a Cloak, Helmet and Shoes. (which you have seen in my Screenies - thats designed..unfortunatly hobbits wear shoes in the game same as everyone else but if you want authenticity - just uncheck the box where it says shoes :p)

one thing that ISNT similar to WOW.

they have dyes!!!
