Me wonders if this will finally be the MMO to give WOW a run for its money....

I don't want those wow smacktards on TOR. They can stay in cataclysm.
That's one thing I'm enjoying about LOTRO™. The community is nothing like WoW. No ePeen floating about either.
Lol Yeah I guess. But i was actually talking about gameplay and eventual user base. Not failing 2 or 3 months from launch like so many other MMORGs.
Unlike others they have SW: Galaxies as a "school fees" attempt that they no-doubt have learned from extensively...
Still a long wait until it's released.
That's too bad, because one way or another, there are going to be a lot of people looking for something different. Every new MMO that releases sees the same thing, hundreds of thousands, even millions of people sign up for month to play it, realise it's a bunch of crap, and bail.I don't want those wow smacktards on TOR.
If ToR get's it right, they won't bail, which probably means you'll have to climb down off that elitist high horse and mix with the lousy wowtard common folk (which you were once a member of).
Ag shame.

Worthwhile wait though.Still a long wait until it's released
Dude, relax.
You know very well which smacktards I'm referring to. The elitist players who have to be the best at everything at the expense of others' gaming experience.
My MMO experience went from Guild Wars (all 4), WoW, Aion to LOTRO. They all have wonderful people on board but only WoW had a certain element of "me first and to hell with the rest" that left a sour taste in my mouth.
Obviously there's a massive player base and generalizing would be gross indeed. tons of those players will jump ship as you've mentioned. I do not mind this one bit. All I'm saying is the elite can stick with WoW and need not bother ... especially considering how TOR is based on each player's personal growth etc. rather than zerging to end-level and then becoming lootwhores and rape the trade/general channels with their leetspeak and insult spamming.
Anyway.
Sure, but perhaps you shouldn't generalise so wantonly. There are a lot of good, honest people playing WoW, I'd wager far more of them than the type you're referring to. Just that most of them tend to stick to running stuff with their guilds and quietly going about their business. Maybe you just had bad luck grouping with tards and/or were in a crap guild. I dunno. Either way I suspect your statement is hideously biased and tinged by the taint of sour apples. It's very easy to whitewash an entire community if you had a bad experience with one or two bad elements. In any massively popular community you're going to have a higher number of the vocal minority, and painting the entire community as bad as a result is absurd.
And regarding elitists, if 10 million people who'd never even logged into WoW began playing ToR on release day, you'd be left with the exact same situation in a year. They don't have a monopoly on any one platform. You find them everywhere, especially where large crowds gather. ToR, if massivley successful, will generate it's own, like Quake generated spawncampers or Counterstrike generated AWP noobs or whatever, you'll find them in any popular online game. It doesn't need specifically 'WoW smacktards' moving over to do it.
