Real Life, Second Life, No Life...

I'm hearing good things about LOTR (Lord of the Rings, NA), but someone in my former guild raised a good point. What will it do to emotional attachment to the storyline and mythology when open chat ends up sounding like Barrens chat in WoW?

Personally, I think one of the things that really helped with the success of WoW is that it is pretty much a self contained mythology. So everybody is ok with being an egalitarian player in world events. With attempts at LOTR or Pern or Firefly, it seems to me that not being one of the central characters will deflate the experience.
