This is amazing.

Oh, dear. LOTR Online sounds like The Elder Scrolls, but without fast travel ... am I right?
In TES, once you visit a place, you can always fast travel to it again. Is it the same in LOTR Online?

So you can fast travel to it - but you "ride" a horse there. However, the way the horse thing works - it works wonky - that it's not clear to where your quest is related to the fast travel spot. I've fast traveled to a spot I thought was closer - and put me further away. Could be me not fully understanding the LoTR fast travel vs how it works in SWTOR, WOW, EverQuest, etc.

Er ... how do you mean, it's not clear where the fast travel spot is? Is there a map you can click on to travel to a spot? Or a quest-arrow, like in Oblivion or Skyrim?

Fast travel is - click a horse - map appears as to where that horse can travel - by city name.

So unless you're absolutely sure where your quest is - by the map (because the fast travel map won't show you where your quests are) - you may head in the wrong direction.

Again, this could be user error or the UI not being intuitive. But on other MMOs it's pretty damn clear.
