After playing the open beta with some friends for a few days I have come to appreciate Lord of the Rings Online. It seems to take some of my favorite elements from other MMOs and put them together in a polished and fun package. While a nice diversion from WoW, I do not see it replacing my long term playing of WoW.<\/p>\n
Below is my list of the game’s thorns, or small things that make me just a bit frustrated. Next time I will post my list things that stood out.<\/p>\n

NPC (mobs) <\/span>name colors sometimes <\/span>are different when targeted vs not targeted.
I have not seen a way to tell an aggressive mob from neutral<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
They have the same color names and fonts.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
I should be able to scale up or down each individual UI element. I was some things smaller others bigger.
<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
I want a modular UI where I can position shape the elements how I want.
I want a way for my friends to all communicate with each other without being in the same kinship
<\/span><\/span>Like the town guards in wow, where I can ask where say a hunter trainer is and have them point me in the right direction.
<\/span><\/span>Let me add my own notes to the main map and have the ability to filter them on and off.
It would be nice if I could set a way point on the map and get say a blue arrow pointing in that direction on the minimap.
My character considered in combat if a nearby fellow is in combat. This makes getting into stealth between enemies tougher than I think it should be.
I would like to zoom my map in and out.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
