I thought I would post a short blurb about the differences in player characters over the years in Lord of the Rings online. I have been a player since the beginning. I purchased my membership right after it went live and I have been playing ever since with breaks off and on. Some of the breaks have been very long and some of the characters long neglected. With the new world closures and transfers long neglected players are getting a chance to come out and play again.
Imagine my surprise when I checked the crafted gear on my older players. Despite not being 'critical hit' items, the older items were several levels higher and much better than the newer crafted items that were 'special recipes' and 'critically hit' crafted items.
The new crafting is nerfed compared to older items and nerfed hard. I am playing a hunter that I made level thirty items for several years ago. He is now level thirty nine and the old gear is still better than the new gear. I see no reason to constantly nerf classes, crafting, items, and abilities. They keep extending the level caps although I think 100 is plenty. If you want to start over with another class, race, and build go ahead it will be a different and interesting experience.
LOTRO is still a fun rpg and I do not intend to quit playing until they shut the doors and turn out the lights. I know it will still be an hour here or there. If they ever really up grade the game (and I have some suggestions in coming articles). I think it could and will remain for years.
