Nah that wasn't how I took it. I took a break of like 2 months at one point (LOTRO has been out for a year, and I have been on since launch). But I come back to it because I've made friends, I DO like the game, it's fun to see the new additions, etc. During the first 6 months or so there were definitely a lot of people who were just trying the game out and didn't want to stick around in the long term for the reasons I mentioned above. I don't see that too often anymore.

It was the same way with Guild Wars (which I actually don't play anymore) during the first few months, and that game is still hugely popular and churning out the expansions.
