They tried to ressurect it using the D20 system - and it was quite good at first - but I grew bored on their silly creatures and worlds.

Ankh, I been feeling EXACTLY like this about D&D for a few years. Played it Pen and Paper as a kid. Played the Gold Box stuff and loved it. Got into Baldur's gate in a small way, but ever since they moved away from second edition (and if I'm honest even a lot of the Baldur's Gate second edition stuff) I just haven't been able to get find it engaging.

I'm hoping they do for LoTR online what Blizzard did for WoW. Not necessarily the same thing, but at least focusing on accessibility, build-quality and breadth of game world. I'm not really a huge WoW fan, but if you want a MMORPG to reach the widest audience, those things are very important.

Maybe not, but many people are still giving Mythic time ;)

SWG wasn't really a flop when it was released, it was pretty average, it just appeared to flop because of the excessive hype. SOE certainly killed it off since then though, the same as their other games :o
