Agreed, and if I were choosing between the two, I’d likely side with LOTRO. I like more class in my games. I’m not antisilly, just antistupid.

A lot of devs have praised WoW for this over the years. Too many games take themselves too seriously, they argue.

I suspect this is one reason why I like LotRO more than WoW these days. Not to say that everything LotRO does is pure magic, but at least it doesn’t encourage the fart jokes from the rest of the party/fellowship.

I was waiting for years for my Druid to be able to just close his mouth in bear form! YEARS!

Now they expect us to put rockets in the sensitive parts? OUTRAGE!

I susect half the entertainment came from even those not-normally bears using the form just to leap around. As we have a *lot* of druids in our raid…

Says she, who just tried it in Boomkin and then complained that it shifted her back. Rocket powered laser chickens *should* have happened.

I shall now go and mourn my missed opportunity.

WoW isnt ‘serious’. There’s a lot of comic moments and many of them are to be found around Goblin science.

Not a huge Bum and Fart joke fan myself but I still find this pretty funny. I’m not entirely sure I’d want to play an entirely serious MMO. I’d need a grain of pathos and humor in there somewhere. The entire Saurfang the younger plot line is dark and depressing enough (and rightly so) that a little humor in the mix elsewhere is entirely justified IMHO.

I highly suspect that the 2:1 “chucklesnort to headdesk” ratio is represented among the devs as well. If the people making the game didn’t think it was funny, it wouldn’t have made it in.

That, to me, is the bigger headdesk moment.

I don’t think this is terrible, and the nine year old in me laughed a little bit, but I’ve also outgrown Dumb and Dumber. *shrug*

First time I saw our bear with his…. rocket pack… omygoodness… it made a wonderful encounter just that much more fun.
