My comment disappeared... <em>[editor note: it was caught in the spam queue, now released]</em> Anyways...Chicken play really is as stated a "technical" demo at best. I felt the game had more issues and these should have been approached instead of creating "Chicken Play"...even quite a few posters in the LOTRO forums agreed... This is when I left... Hopefully as the game moves forward, they can focus on the needs of their players, and not frivolous addons like this... Mines of Moria should help in the right direction... Weird…

“Chicken play”

I thought…these guys are full of Chicken “sh*t”

I have returned after each book though, but have seen the same issues people have complained about still in existence…

All I can say is hopefully the “Mines” expansion will add something more to this lackluster copy cat of a game…
Because as *Treason said
“ALL MMO’s”
As they all have these mechanics…so did we need ANOTHER game like that?
Please save us new MMO’s from the humdrum and give us innovation…something new..

By the way I will kick the next chicken I see in a an MMO …just to show how I feel..
