That review is...hilarious, I love it.
I also think that my being able to stomach LOTRO had to do with the fact that LOTRO was my first MMO...well, actually second, third if you want to stretch...but anyway, the point is I'd not played many. The more MMOs I've played the worse LOTRO has looked.
I think it would do us all good if some of these Tolkien based multiplayer mods for Mount & Blade would ever get themselves off the ground...
