Overall, Steefel called it the best launch he'd ever been involved in and scored it "9 out of 10", with 10 being a completely perfect MMO launch.
Funny, the loginservers were totally borked during the past days. You were UNABLE to play for DAYS. They've already given people 2+ days to their subscription.
Because it was a smooth launch? No cause they partially fucked up.
I like the game, but these PR lies are sad.

The only things that keep it from being perfect are the screwed up economy (hopefully, that will work itself out in a week or 3) and the fact that I would love to be able to run it at Ultra High settings all the time (someone send me an 8800gts please :)
Other than that it's great. The quests are great, the deeds are great, the music system is great, the graphics are great, the loot is great, the massive lag in Bree is great (no it's not).
Now that I have my Champion past 20 I'm just this mega DPS dealing motherfucker so the combat is great. Plus the world is huge so far. I can imagine how big it'll be once they get the game world all the way to Mordor in a few years. It'll take 2 or 3 hours to get from Ered Luin to Mordor.
