The point of my initial post was that it's a beautiful looking game and you can start playing for just about nothing and the monthly cost is less than Aion, WoW, or most other games -- if you go the multi-month route.

So maybe it's not fun after you cap out... so what? Which game has perfected end-game? Level another character/race or move on to another game. If you enjoyed the books or the movies, you'll have fun interacting with them in the game. Doesn't mean this is the only game you'll be allowed to play ever again.

I don't know much about this cap business -- I'm only level 16. All I know is it's a beautiful game, I'm having fun, and it's costing me less than a movie ticket per month.
