I played LotRO since closed beta; but I let me account lapse several months ago. I was on Brandywine as well. I liked the game well enough, but stopped playing due to lack of people to play with. I'll probably try it again at some point to try out the most-recent updates; I have a Dwarf Hunter parked there somewhere in limbo.
I've also played LOTRO off and on since Beta. I have a lifetime subscription which makes it easy to do that. I play on the Landroval server, where there is a decent-sized role play community in addition to the standard hack and slashers you see on most MMO's.
