What are some of the touches that you really like about LOTRO? What keeps it immersive? I'll start the list, and my apologies if some of the things I mention are common to other MMORPGs, I only have EQOA to compare to, really.

* I love that your class trainer sends you in-game mail to start a quest.
* Earnable titles are fun.
* Favorite quest so far... one in Evendim where the answer to a quest is to perform a specific emote to an NPC... and there's NO clue that's what you need to do, it was just coincidence that I did it.
* More quests than it's even possible to do.
* Beautiful landscapes.

For me....

1. It's all about the hot elf chicks
2. I like that you can wear any outfit you want 'over' your armour so you don't look like every other toon in the game. (and change colour of armour)
3. CRAFTING ROCKS!I like that when crafting you can name the armour/item you crit on!
4. I like that it's a more mature environment
5. I like sitting up on a mountain near a waterfall, lighting a fire, then plucking some songs from my lute.
6. I love the pipe weed....though it does make me dizzy at times.
7. I like the fact there are no threat meters, etc...Legolas never had a threat meter!
8. I like the 'group maneuvers'! When they crit.
9. Skirmishes and three player instances!
10. Almost all my old friends, and some new friends are here!!!!!!!!!!!

One of my favorite things is the pace of the game. You don't feel like it is a rush to blow by 60+ levels of content to get to the "end game." Every time I find a lotro forum question about leveling fast, pretty quickly there is a response telling the new player to slow down, smoke some pipeweed, and enjoy the journey.

I love deeds. Turbine has tied so much into this system that not only gives you "Achievements" like in wow, but there are many, many rewards that come from them as well: Titles, Traits, class customization paths, turbine points.

Legendary items. This is something none of us has hit yet, but it is a whole other level of customization. We'll get access to gear that levels with us, growing stronger as we grow with what appears to be a very complicated, almost daunting, build system.
