Well, my impressions of the game are mostly good.
I really enjoy the presentation of LOTRO. I think, rather than capturing a "realistic" look, they did very well to bring out an artistic rendition (like in a work by Howe).
Most of the games mechanics seems to be put together pretty well. However, I feel there are a few minor problems. I do not like the way the item durability system works (i.e. the loss of durability for inventory items that are not actually engaged in the game action). Related to the above issue, is that of the actual durability of items. I feel certain things wear out far too quickly. I find it difficult to complete longer instances, such as the Great Barrow, as both my used items wear down, my inventory replacements wear down, and there is no way it seems to repair items in the field, even if they are only temporary ones.
But, basically, I really enjoy the game. I particularly love Trestlebridge and Fornost. :P
