Closing Lord of the Rings Online

I managed to find a good post on the MMORPG forums that cover this very well (original forum topic):

  1. The ablility to see what level people are via the chat (like in WoW were shift+click on the nick in chat), making LookingForFellowship shouts easier.
  2. Zoom in/out of minimap.
  3. Chat bubbles option…. Yeah I hated them at the start, but now I realise how great they are. Its hard having the pay attention in the chat window all the time, when the poor guy next to you is trying to talk to you.
  4. Kinship filters/options. The Kinship window is a joke. I can’t filter out “just show online” players. I hate this, now if I short by name I get up every last member. This is annoying, since I am in a rather big Kinship and when people ask if they want to group up, I have to go through the whole list to find out what level they are (once again the shift+click ability in WoW is greatly missed).
  5. Ask a guard as in Everquest 2. There you could type in a NPCs name and you were directed to were he/she is. Very helpful when looking for the person to cash in a quest too. Also asking for vendors and other NPC services.
  6. Different colors on NPCs and Player names. As it is now, its a massive mess. I have to turn off the names just to find the person with the little “ring” over his/her head among the crowd.
  7. Ignore player notes. Would be nice to be able to make a short note as to why next to the player. Aslo having the date as to when you ignored the person.
  8. LFG. Well really “Looking for Fellowship, but you get the idea. DDO had an amazingly great LFG system, why they did not implement the same system in this game is beyond me. They have only taken part of it into LOTRO. I am missing the “looking for class” etc.
  9. Crafting. The crafting here is bad. The idea is great. But “we” are too dipendint on other crafters to make parts needed. This is just making crafting a big BIG pain in the arse….this is the same aproch EQ2 had with lots of “parts” needed, but they also realised how a little too advanced it was and changed it. I do hope they change it in LOTRO as well.
