I know they've made some changes, so I might check this out at some point. Been dipping my toes back into LotrO and EQ2 recently. Lifetime subs really are a boon to those of us who play a ton of MMOs over a long period of time.
MMOHut, "There are some game designers out there, usually the exception to the rule, that hold fast to the belief that gamers enjoy themselves most when they are given as much creative control over their character and the game world as possible.
