Lotro players were still enjoying lotro at midnight of the Moria release. :)

..and..you could buy a downloadable version from day one.

..and..is being lumped in with midnight expac shoppers a good thing? At that point one has to question their judgement and ability to judge a good expac from Crap In A Box.

I'm not beating on WoW really; LK is entertaining, what I have played of it. I like the changes and zones, but Moria takes you to a very different and awe-inspiring world. And the legendary system is a very welcome addition.

My real point is that popularity has little to do with quality and it's embarrassing to Massively's journalistic integrity that it was a criteria.
