My guild is going through a quiet patch at the moment, we’re spread about on a few games, so the plan was to get a F2P thing we could all log into a few times a week. Not decided yet, but it’s looking likely to be The Lord of the Rings Online.
Now I’ve had a go at it before now, and it was really rather good, but I can’t remember why I stopped playing it, until I reinstalled it this afternoon…
Loads of corrupted files in the downloaded installer I got from Turbine themselves, and then the game goes all Error 201 on me, constantly. This is not good, and it seems I am not the only one who’s having this issue, it seems to be very common indeed. This is why I stopped playing…
To me, this is a problem with the installer. I find it very strange that the game downloads the installation files, then you can have access to the patcher. Why not just have the game download through the patcher? Since there are forum posts dating back to 2008, I guess this is a problem that won’t be fixed soon, but I will persevere, and hopefully not have to resort to torrenting a full install from the shadier parts of the interweb.
