I hope this means they've tuned it up since Alpha. I was a chosen Alpha/Beta tester, but I got really turned off after the first 20 minutes or so into the game. The controls are just difficult the physics are bleh, along with the options menu barely working correctly. The only thing that's really pleasant was the graphics and the similarities to WoW (which are a LOT), so it was easy to catch on to what was going on. Your quests, spells, etc. It really disturbs me that you can't play on the enemy's side though. I've never been a Horde fan for WoW. But I've always liked the dark side of LOTR (but I guess that would ruin the game since in the story the good guys "win").
