Eigentlich ein echt tolles Spiel, vor allem als Fan der Herr der Ringe macht das Erkunden der Schauplätze aus den Büchern/Filmen extrem viel Spaß. Auch jetzt, da mit Update 33 sehr viel Gratis-Inhalte dazugekommen sind. Leider ist die Performance extrem schlecht. Es kommt regelmäßig, teilweise im Minutentakt zu starken Lags, was den Spielspaß extrem trübt. Zudem ist vieles sehr altbacken. Ich spiele beispielsweise mit einem Bildschirm mit einer Auflösung von 2560x1440p, leider gibt es für das Interface keine unterstütze Skalierung, wodurch Texte und Icons nahezu unleserlich klein werden. Ich würde das Spiel gerne lieben, aber so kann ich es leider nicht weiterempfehlen. Ich hoffe, dass hier nachgebessert und modernisiert wird.

Ich liebe Urban und High Fantasy (ich meine Bücher...) und bin eher ein Gelegenheitsspieler. Wenn ich Zeit zum Spielen habe, bin ich eher der frühe Vogel als eine Nachteule.... Ich hatte vor Lotro knapp 4 Jahre lang WoW von deren Spielstart an gespielt. Die Art und Weise des Spiels, deren Charaktere, Skills, rare Items haben sich im Verlauf so dermaßen geändert das es einfach keinen Spaß mehr machte. Raids wurden immer mehr Pflicht und dafür war mir irgendwann auch die Nachtzeit zu Schade. Es gibt ja immer hin noch das Real Live.... Bei Lotro bin ich glücklicher und das Spiel macht einfach nur Spaß. Ich spiele fast nur Solo und lasse mir Zeit. Mal fröne ich nur der Angellust oder reise an besondere Punkte um die Aussichten zu genießen. Ich habe 5 unterschiedliche Charaktere und Klassen die ich noch lange nicht auf max Level habe. Ich spiele ohne Leistungsdruck. Zeitweise hole ich mir VIP, meistens in den Wintermonaten. Ich hoffe dass die Balance und Spielaufbau in Lotro nicht den gleichen Weg wie WoW geht. Ein Manko ist das ich es nicht mehr über Steam spielen kann, da ich nach längerer Frustration mit Umstieg von Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 auf Windows 10 aufgegeben habe (good by Microsoft) und nur noch Linux (openSUSE Leap) als alleiniges Betriebssystem auf allen meinen Systemen verwende. Ich spiele Lotro über Wine, welches interessanter Weise auf der gleichen Hardware performanter läuft als unter Windows 7 und Windows 10. Ich hätte gerne den Linux Support für Lotro. Denn wenn es unter MAC läuft, das ja auch ein Unix ist und auf den gleichen Basis Code aufsetzt, ist kein weiter Schritt zu Linux. Man würde sich sogar Entwicklungsressourcen sparen und Synergie Effekte nutzen können. Bisher konnte ich beobachten, das die Linux Grafik Treiber für AMD und Nvidia wesentlich stabiler geworden sind und die echte durchgerechte Performance stellenweise deutlich höher ist als bei Windows.

Der Herr der Ringe Online gehört für mich bis heute immernoch zu den besten Rollenspielen die es gibt.Leider wurde das Free2Play modell in der Vergangenheit sehr schlecht umgesetzt zu oft und zu viel wurde man zur Kasse gebeten,das soll sich endlich ende April 2022 ändern,ein neues Update ermöglicht es als Free2Play Spieler bis LVL 95 zu LvLn,man muss keine Questgebiete mehr kaufen und alle spielbaren Rassen und Klassen werden für alle spielbar sein dazu kommen noch das einige DlCs kostenlos werden,das Max LVL ist 130 da ist man schon ne weile beschäftigt kreuz und quer durch Mittelerde entweder allein oder mit Gefährten (andere mitspieler)Abenteuer erleben.Auch ein Abo würde sich für vielspieler wieder lohnen denn auch da gibt es ein paar Neuerungen und extras als VIP Spieler,das wichtigste ist das man bis zu einem bestimmten LVL ungestört zocken kann und das als Free2Play spieler.Grafisch ist das Spiel nicht das neueste aber es gibt beim Downloaden des Spiels ein Hochauflösendes Grafikpacket das man sich ziehen kann,jeder der einen guten mittelklasserechner hat müsste das packen,zu alte Pcs werden die Hochauflösende Grafik nicht verwenden können aber das programm sagt euch ob euer PC dafür geeignet ist oder nicht.Mit diesem Update 33 werden wohl neue und alte Spieler nach Mittelerde zurückkerhren es wird sich lohnen wenn das was für die zukunft noch kommt und versprochen wurde umgesetzt wird.Ich freue mich riesig wenn das Update 33 ende April kommt es ist auf jeden fall ein grund wieder in HDRO reinzuschauen es wurde dringend zeit das etwas an diesem Spiel gemacht wird und nun ist endlich soweit ich bin sehr gespannt!!!!

Für viele jahre war lotro quasi mein online-zuhause. leider hat es sich zu dem teuersten spiel entwickelt, dass ich je gespielt habe. ständig wird mann genötigt irgendwas mit den im shop käuflichen mithril-münzen zu begleichen. mit dem neuen system für legendäre waffen wurde nochmal eins draufgesetzt - diese änderung sollte den zugang zu legendären waffen vereinfachen,, tut es aber nicht. es wird teuer, sehr teuer. selbst die aufbewahrung der nötigen filigrane wird zum problem - bitte sammeltasche kaufen, kostet ca. 10 euro. die steigerung der stufen der legendäre waffen, die früher mit ingame-gegenständen möglich war ist nun eingeschränkt - auch hier wird ein gewissen mass an mithril-münzen benötigt. trotz des vielen geldes, was zahlenden spielern abverlangt wird, ist das spielen wegen der delays stark eingeschränkt, wie z.b. beim Hüter: ein gambit-aufbau ist fast nicht möglich, wenn man nicht SEHR langsam agiert. es dauert eine weile, bis die reaktion auf den tastenanschlag erfolgt, die server in amerika sind weit und die leitungen eng ^^ rubberbands und freezes sind an der tagesordnung, wahrscheinlich zahlen die europäischen spieler noch immer nicht genug um sich einen gut funktionierenden host verdient zu haben. jeder der hier mit abonnement spielt muss wissen, dass er einen hohen anteil an F2P-Spieler mitfinanzieren muss. ich bin dazu nicht mehr bereit. ich hab keinerlei profit davon, die qualität wird immer schlechter, das spiel immer teurer und nur weil der spiele-betreiber horden kostenloser spieler anzieht um im mmo-ranking einen gut platz zu behalten. darüber hinaus sind die neuen quests einfach nur nervig - hatte man sich in den vorherigen gebieten darauf geeinigt, dass es den spielern umheimlich viel spass machen müsse, stundenlang von einem NPC zum nächsten geschickt werden, sind es nun die irrgarten-ähnlich angelegten gebiete, in denen man stundenlang rumrennen muss um ein paar simple sachen zusammen zu suchen. oh, gescheite maps, die einem helfen würden, gibt es nicht. die beiden letzten letzten erweiterungen sind einfach nur lieblos von irgendwelchen studentischen wochenend-aushilfen zusammengeschustert und mit vielen fehlern umgesetzt. wirklich neues kam nicht dazu, vll kommt das noch später, wenn wieder jemand ne super idee hat, wie man noch mehr mithril-münzen verkaufen kann good bye lotro

Das Spiel hat sowohl seine sehr positiven als auch negativen Seiten. Was das Spiel am meisten zusammenhält ist die Community. Ohne diese würde es kaum noch Spaß machen, da der Spielinhalt, vor allem wenn man diesen auf Raidniveau spielt, nicht sehr befriedigend ist. Leider ist auch der Support sehr mäßig und es wird äußerst selten sinnvoll gepatcht. Das PVP wird schon seit Jahren kaum noch angepasst, was zur Folge hat, dass es dort nur noch sehr wenige Spieler gibt. Wer Lotro hin und wieder zur abendlichen Unterhaltung mit einer meist sehr freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Spielerschaft genießen möchte, der ist hier sehr gut aufgehoben, darf aber was neue Inhalte betrifft nicht viel erwarten. Neue Spieler dürften sich hierbei sehr schwer tun, denn um den Endcontent überhaupt erreichen zu können, ist wirklich unverhältnismäßig viel Aufwand nötig, den man selbst, wenn man bereit ist viel in das Spiel zu investieren, trotzdem leisten muss. Spieler, die vor allem darauf aus sind, auf sehr hohem Niveau zu spielen, würde ich empfehlen die viele Zeit in ein Spiel zu investieren, welches mehr regelmäßigen Support bekommt.

Bin mit Unterbrechungen seit dem Release 2007 dabei und muss sagen, es hat nichts von seinem Charme verloren. Klar, das F2P System ist nicht die optimale Lösung, jedoch erleichtert es den Einstieg in die Welt von Lotro erheblich, wenn man bedenkt, dass früher 7-Tage Probezeit möglich waren und diese kaum ausreichten, um die unendlichen Möglichkeiten der Welt von Lotro zu erkunden.

Das Spiel ist auch jetzt immer noch ganz OK, obwohl schon so alt (12 Jahre inzwischen?). Aber dazugehörige Launcher ist eine Katastrophe. Und leider ist ein großer Teil des Spielinhalts im Endcontent nur noch stumpfes grinden. Außerdem wird die weitergeführte Hauptstory immer abstruser und doofer, hat mit Tolkiens Ideen eigentlich nicht mehr viel zu tun. Der einzige Grund, der mich im Spiel hält, ist die große Rollenspiel-Gemeinde und gute Bekannte, die man dadurch hier kennengelernt hat. Das ist allerdings kein Verdienst des Spiels oder des Anbieters!!

Ich wollte mal sehen, wie weit man so kommt, ohne echtes Geld auszugeben oder sich auf völlig absurde Grinds einzulassen. Die ernüchternde Antwort: Nicht besonders weit. Viele Features sind hinter ner Paywall, die meisten davon zugegebenermaßen nicht essenziell, aber eben nicht alle. Es geht schon damit los, dass man das Reiten nur für Echtgeldwährung (fiktive Währung, die man sich für echtes Geld kaufen, aber auch ergrinden kann) lernen kann, was in dem Genre nicht unüblich ist. Taschenplatzerweiterung, Gebiete die man bereisen möchte, Teile des Schnellreisesystems, alles ge-paywalled. Die nächste echte Hürde, auf die man stößt, ist das Goldcap. Man kann nur 2 Goldstücke haben, bevor man gezwungen ist, das Limit mit Echtgeldwährung zu erhöhen. Das war dann auch der Punkt, an dem ich aufgehört habe. Sicher wäre es in der Theorie möglich gewesen, mir ingame Echtgeldwährung zu ergrinden aber an diesem Punkt hätte das für mich bedeutet, alles was ich während dieses Grinds an Gold verdiene, ersatzlos zu verlieren. Das war mir dann doch zu frustrierend, zumal ich davon ausgehen musste, dass ich noch einige male in vergleichbare Situationen kommen würde. An und für sich ist das Gameplay, obgleich kaum mehr als zeitgemäß zu bezeichnen, gar nicht schlecht. Aber die Art und der Grad der Monetarisierung sind nach meiner Meinung mehr als abschreckend.

eigentlich machte mir das Spiel Spass. Soweit ich spielen konnte. hatte ein 3 monats abo letzte woche aktiviert und auch für 50€ HDRO points gekauft für erweiterungen usw. Nun aber kann ich seit dieser woche 0 spielen da die Server dauernd abschmieren oder kein einloggen möglich ist... wäre das beim testen letzte woche schon so passiert hätte ich zumindest 75€ gespart. Ärgert mich nun extrem das seit einer woche solche Server Probleme sind. Und laut Foren war das vor paar wochen schonmal so schlimm. Ärgere mich sehr über das verlorene Geld.

Das Spiel mag grafisch sicherlich in die Jahre gekommen sein, dennoch die Spieltiefe und die Geschichten die erzählt werden nehmen einen mit auf eine wunderschöne,spannende Reise. Die Landschaften sind groß und wünderschön. Viele Aufgaben erwaten einen, das Craftsystem ist sinnvoll sogar alle Berufszweige. Nette und hilfsbereite Community.Das Spiel braucht sicherlich am Anfang eine Chance und man muß schon ein Stückchen weiter gehen als sonst um das Potenzial zu entdecken, doch dann entfaltet sich eine wirklich aufregende Welt die erlebt werden will. Wer Rollenspiel mag oder einfach in Gemeinschaft Aufgaben erledigen möchte,Abenteuer erleben möchte ist hier genau richtig. Das Spiel eignet sich nicht für Spieler die schnell ans Ziel kommen wollen obwohl durch den Shop kann man pushen, macht aber wenig Sinn da man schon lernen muß wie sein Char funktioniert. Der Shop bietet vielerlei,Zierwerk,helferlein etc. immer wieder Angebote usw. Die Abogebühr wenn man denn abschliessen möchte ist wirklich günstig und ist im Vergleich zu anderen Abospielen, ein wirklicher Schnapper.Kein pay to win.

Herr der Ringe online ist ein gutes mmorpg was nicht mit der Grafik sondern der Architektur in manchen Gegenden zu beeindrucken weiß. Es macht Spaß mit seinem selbst erstellten Charakter die große Welt zu erkunden und Quests zu erledigen. Zwar sin diese nicht immer gut geschrieben aber machen meistens Spaß und dies bei diesem Alter ( Erscheinungsjahr: 2007 ).

Das Spiel könnte wirklich sehr viel Spaß machen. Ich spiele es gelegentlich seit der Beta. Leider existieren noch die gleichen Probleme, wie in der Beta, dafür ist es viel komplizierter geworden. Für Anfänger mit wenig Zeit nicht zu empfehlen. Am grausamsten ist jedoch der Launcher. Updates Installieren dauert ewig. Es lädt nur mit wenigen kbit/s. Daran hat sich die letzten 13 Jahre nichts verbessert. So lädt man bei jedem Spielstart erstmal einige Minuten oder Stunden updates herunter. Egal ob Modem oder Glasfaser.

9 Jahre ist es her, dass ich dieses Meisterwerk das erste mal gespielt habe. Klar hat es seine Makel, seine nicht mehr zeitgemäße Grafik, aber darauf kommt es hier nicht an. Mich persönlich zieht dieses Spiel in eine ganz andere Welt hinein...Mittelerde. Man löst Aufgaben, bringt seinen Charakter voran und taucht komplett in dieser Welt ab. Ich liebe es!

Nicht spielbar mit 4K Monitoren und TVs. Das UI ist zu klein um es zu lesen und die urald Engine unterstüzt kein 4k, so dass die Fenster und Icons nicht mit skalieren können. Auf niedriger Auflösung hat man hingegen nur ein kleines festes Fenster, selbst in Vollbild. Mit Technik von damals kann man sicher Spaß an dem Spiel haben, aber wer schon in 2020 angekommen ist, sollte sich eher ein anderes MMO suchen.

Allow me to start by saying that I've played LOTRO since the beginning. I was also one of those crazy people that purchased the Lifetime Account. That being said, I still play. If you are a fan of Tolkien's literary works, and you enjoy MMOs, then I believe this game will appeal to you. When you first step into Middle Earth it can be a bit overwhelming. You must remember that this game is coming up on its 15th anniversary, so there is a TON of content. Stick with it a while! It doesn't take long to see the the amount of love that has gone into bringing Tokien's world to life. I remember the first time I stepped into the Shire, or Rivendell, and thinking myself lucky to be able to see the pages of a book I love brought to the screen. Gameplay still holds up, though does feel a little dated in some ways. It is also easy to get started as there is a free-to-play option. You can get very far without spending a dime! So, strap on your sword, steel yourself, and assist the Free People of Middle Earth in the fight against Sauron!

This includes everything up to level 50 and a good portion past Grab the first 6 expansions and 2 instance clusters on sale for 99 LOTRO Points each (about $10 all together) Get the expansions in this order Moria (level 51-60) isengard (level 65-75) Rohan (level 75-85) Helms Deep (level 85-95) Mordor (level 105-115) Mirkwood (level 62-65) Instances for Isengard/Rohan (Mirkwood is easily skippable because of overlap with other areas - Moria, Lothlorien, Enedwaith, Dunland) but is inbetween Moria and Isengard - and the Epic quest is free)

How could they not have updated the UI until now? It's almost unplayable on a 1440p monitor. I can't imagine the horror on a 4K panel. The text is too small and there is no option for global UI scaling (including text). The only option is to play at a lower resolution, which makes everything blurry. I've been looking at a solution for this for the past week (3rd party plugins, anything) and nothing fixes the size of the text. Please do something about the UI scaling so we can still enjoy this game in 2021.

Cons: --Can be a little grindy --Can be a little expensive getting started --Lower population than other MMOs Pros: --Better lore than any MMO --Story is actually coherent and palatable (vs. WoW or FF14) --World is huge --Cosmetically you can do a lot (like not wear earrings, looking at you FF14) --It just feels good, it feels right like an MMO should feel, and it's old school Overall it's a good game, it has its share of issues not unlike most other games. As MMOs go, this one is my favorite (although WoW's aesthetic and gameplay will always have a place in my heart). I recommend this to older players or those who like the old school way MMOs used to be, and those into rich fantasy settings with deep lore and coherence. If you are familiar with, and love the Lord of the Rings, then that helps a hell of a HELLUVA lot, and makes it a no-brainer that you should play or at least give it a decent whirl. This is probably a game that has to grow on you, the first impression might be that it's slow, kind of clunky, and less polished visually, but the world is beautiful and the game does grow on you pretty quick from there--especially after you get past the hurdles of paying for the first almost-but-technically-not necessary micro transactions. Smooth sailing after that. Note: This game has a slow and leisurely pace to it, just an overall laid back vibe; and, a friendly player base. Plus the spell effects are minimal and not going to give you sensory overload / headache. Also Note: My play-time on Steam is 79 hours, but I did log a decent chunk of additional playtime when I used to play this off Steam. FYI.

I don't play LOTRO through Steam but I do play LOTRO and have for years. I highly recommend it. The graphics may be a little dated but no worse than WOW. It's free to play and you can grind achievements for points to buy expansions or other DLC plus gear, mounts and other service. If you want a costume in the shop but don't want to pay for it then there's skirmish camps which between them have most of the shop costumes available for skirmish points. Skirmishes are small group or solo battles with specific objectives which rewards marks you can use to outfit and skill your companion soldier and yourself. There are huge battles as well but I've never indulged therefore I can't comment on them. It's not pay to win and has rich lore and a lot to do. The game is huge. There are several playable races. Men , hobbits, dwarves, stout axe dwarves , high and regular elves. There is also Monster play for those who want to play an orc or a spider or a warg. (It's pvp but kind of basic). All the servers have decent communities but I would say if you like RP and friendly helpful folks then Laurelin would be your go to server. Like ESO LOTRO has a vp service for those who wish to contribute to the ongoing development of the game. There are interesting classes, warden, loremaster and runekeeper being but a few. Your story parallels the fellowship of ring, sometimes it crosses behind or in front as you work to secure middle earth in other ways from Sauron. The one thing I love is walking past an Npc and they talk about you. Not just saying some hero killed so and so like in ESO. For example, in a place called Trestlebridge is an NPC who will use your name and tell everyone they love the song of___ and___. You are named, you've got your own ballad, your storied. Your becoming a legend. Yes dungeons and raids are included. If you love LOTR and it's lore or if you simply want something story driven to play. If your an achievement hound, you'll be in heaven ( I am talking in game. Not in Steam. There are festivals every season, making LOTRO the drunkest MMO out there. There is personal race related and other premium housing. There are some amazing and some silly titles to obtain and wear with pride. Yes the hit boxes are floaty, yes it's a traditional MMO that you can solo if you want. There is good and bad to every game. I say come play for a few days then decide for yourself. Meet me in the mines of Moria, perhaps we can go to Rohan together or sneak around in Isenguard causing trouble only to end up in Mordor wondering what the heck are we doing there and agreeing Goblin Town in the Misty Mountains was preferable for a days jaunt..

One of my all time favourite mmorpg's. While the graphics are indeed a bit outdated, it more then makes up for it story wise, if you are a fan of lord of the rings then you are going to simply love this! even if you aren't you should give it a try, the only con of this game is that litterally every map pack, quest pack, skirmish or expansions costs money. While you can farm the currency in the game its INSANELY slow, i suggest just buying them if you are going to get them... but other then that this game absolutely rocks! You can create your own character, have a house, get married to other people, Craftmanships, Guilds and even BUY cosmetics... yes this also cosmetics but very understandable... they look really good tho! but yes i definitely suggest trying out the game even without all of the packs you'll still have a large chunk of story you can just play without paying a penny! :)

I would recommend you this game if these two conditions are met. You liked WoW Classic. You've read the book and get excited for seeing places like Weathertop or talking to Elrond. A lot of people complain that the game is not free to play. Well, of course it is not. This is how it goes: You can play to lvl 30 before you need to buy quest packs. Or you can subscribe and get all all the quest packs, plus other stuff you would have to pay with the Lotro points. So you can either grind for 20 hours or go to work for 1 hour and subscribe. By lvl 30 you should know if you want like the game or not. By subbing you get to play to lvl 50. After that it's buying expansions, the first 4 sold for 32e in steam, or you can use a second hand website like me and but it for half the price. So, right now I've played for 121 hours by paying I'd say less than 30 euros, and I've only gotten past Moria. Not everything is perfect about the game, but the world of Tolkien is what pulls me in. So to summarize, if the two things I mentioned at the start apply to you, give this one a try.

I've had my account since the game first opened it's doors long before it was on Steam, before it was Free to Play. I played off and on for many years, and put plenty of money into it, even after the F2P model hit I was happy with this game. My account information was compromised at one point, and the individual spent over $400 in about 3 transactions on my card before I was able to shut it down. In order to refund me for the fraud that was committed, I was informed that my account would be perma-banned. What a garbage way to treat someone that's been loyal and loved your game. Can't recommend this game at all. Go play Final Fantasy XIV, you're better off.

Only 2 hours in and already hooked. Plays just like wow but its free. Not to mention its in the lotr universe. Highly recommend to anyone looking to replace wow, give it a try. I recommend to first go to their website and make an account there, when first logging in from steam it sends you to a webpage that doesnt work. Just go to their website and sign up, then loggin from steam launch easy peasy.

I played this originally from when Moria expansion came out until Isengard , back then i loved the game and would recommend it to anyone who was interested in trying it. LOTRO is no longer that game and even though there may be some familiar faces on the development team, the content being brought out is broken and uninteresting, adding more onto the ever growing list of things that need fixing and only being given excuses until the next update where anything that came before is inevitably made irrelevant and abandoned. Never fear however! You can skip that pesky nonsense with a quick visit to the cash shop.

First of all, I have played lotro for many many more hours than what is shown. I have a founders account with all the bells and whistles, and it's in my top 3 games of all time. However.... I can't in all honesty recommend it as a good choice for new players, unless you have a lot of money to spend. If money is no issue, then yes, by all means, it's a great game! While it says free to play, it's a subscription game at heart. Yes, you could technically grind til your eyes bleed getting all the points needed to have the complete game, but after level 30 or so, I think 95% of people would burn out and wish they'd never tried. But the worst thing in my eyes, is how every expansion is full price, even ones from 10 years ago. That's just bad business, and a huge barrier for someone just starting. I believe it makes it the most expensive MMORPG there is to play. Yes, it's a great game, and I do love it, but making a new account has made me realize how unreasonably pricey it is for a newcomer. If you're super casual and just want to roam around experiencing Tolkien's world, and not all about getting to the end game, then I can definitely say give it a try.

Was having an itch to try an MMO again and the reviews seemed somewhat positive so thought I'd give it a shot. I'm an old school gamer who started out with EQ1 and has pretty much played or tried all major MMORPGs since. Also a huge LOTR fan. Figured I'd ignore the age of this game as I know that graphics are not everything in making a game great. Unfortunately the game feels just empty and dead right off the bat. It's obvious they've made the game something you can solo the whole way through. Opening area/quests are lacking any real excitement or substance (Elf hunter). Enemies are boring and easy with zero challenge or risk of death. I tried to give it some time but combine those negatives with the lack of needing to have any skill or interaction with other players makes this a no go for me.

This game have being a weird journey for me over the years. I leave it and come back all the time. It was never as charming for me as it was WoW, but it always had it's own unique way to invite me for a ride through Middle Earth and what a ride that have being so far! The thing is I'm at that age that real life just keep me from enjoying MMOs, yet I still enjoy LotRO even if I play little each time I visit. The best part is that I have unlocked a good portion of the game with just playing and doing deeds. I haven't paid a single copper coin so far, taking advantage of promotions and sales through the store. But make no mistake, the developers worth every coin, they love the game and the world and it shows. They have kept it alive all those years, the changed names, they changed publishers, and they are still here, improving the game! Give it a try!

I love Middle-Earth. Ever since I read the Hobbit as a child and watched the acclaimed movie trilogy in theaters and then proceeded to read the books. I have longed to be apart of that world. I played this MMO back when it launched in 07 and fell in love. You are not the chosen one, your not some super powered warrior or destined for great things. You are a bystander to these epic events in this period of Middle-Earth. You show up and help where you can to fight against the ever present darkness from the east. You see the Fellowship leave Riverdale, see the aftermath of their journey in Moria, meet up in the last second and help defend Helm's Deep. The writing and the true scale of the world is fantastic. The way the ruins, castles, caves, and cities tower above you makes you feel so small. This game follows the books rather than the movies and it shows with the writing and the small touches of detail. The city of Minis Tirith has large black wall of obsiden like that of the same stone of Isengard like the books, to the meeting stone in the Shire. The writing of the Epic story and quests all have that same sense of melancholy of a time moved on and things lost. The gameplay is old school tab targeting MMO like that of WoW Classic. So if you are looking for a game that is more action focused or fast paced... this is not it. It is hard to find low level group content on level due to most of the player base being at endgame. Though the LFF chat is always buzzing for dungeon runs ect for endgame. I have not reached max level since the first expansion of Moria so I can not tell you how that is. Heard there is a lot of grinding for traits, legendary weapon leveling ect... But I do not play this game to get my raiding or dungeon fix. If I want that I play WoW classic or FFXIV. I play this game mostly solo and to escape. I love the world they crafted here... the music is next level. I play because I love Middle-Earth and the community is super welcoming. It is F2P and they were one of the first too switch over to that payment model so it used to be super gatekeeping and still is a bit. But to get a lot of those restrictions taken off pay $15 and sub for a month and it takes a lot of those away. They also recently bundled all their previous expansions and such for $60. It used too be all either $20 each for the oldest up to $40 for the second recent and they got a lot of backlash for making you pay that much for such old content. Since it is F2P i don't think personally $60 is a lot of all old content.

I only say no because of how much of the game is hidden behind things you need to buy to unlock. Of all the mmos I've tried this one really needs to take a second look at the balance between free and buy this for awesome! Idk maybe I'm just a bit jaded but for a game thats been around this long you shouldn't have to pay for so much content.

If you like Lord of the Rings you surely must have played this game already. If you like a big (really huge), diverse and adventurous world to explore this is it. The epic storyline can be played for free and you can easily get max level doing only the free content. In fact there are so many quests you can easily not do all of them. This game has been around for a while so the locations you visit in the beginning aren't as beautiful as the newer stuff. All in all, it's a great world to get lost in and escape reality.

Despite showing it's age LOTRO is still a great game, an enormous map full of things to do from questing, to crafting, to just playing a musical instrument and seeing the sights. If you enjoyed the Lord of the Rings books/movies you will probably love playing this game. I will mention one negative to playing this game: there is a cash shop with a lot of content locked behind it, although unlike a lot of games you can actually earn the premium currency (LOTRO points) just by playing the game and achieving certain goals.

Not a bad game. I came back to try this out since the Amazon MMO was scrapped. I also seen they plan on updating this game in the future along with DC Online. The game is pretty old school but still fun. I'm a VIP member since sub don't really bother me (I'm also old school lol). I would give the game a shot and maybe stick around to see how they update this game in 2022.

There is no comparison to other MMOs. This game has been fun and exciting since its release in 2007. I do believe the player base has declined quite a bit, which may make finding groups difficult, however the gameplay is still so much fun. I love all the seasonal events that give mounts, pets, and different appearance items and emotes. You can easily get lost in the lore of the Lord of the RIngs. The story is pretty close to being precise and you do feel like you are in Middle Earth. I truly love this game and will continue to play it for as long as I can.

With how old the game is, the expansions should be free, but they are not free. The actual free content is limited. What information I found on farming the in-game currency for unlocking the expansions for free, says it takes way too long and Ill probably lose interest in the game by doing the farming. The game owners are very arrogant to think this game is good enough to keep players as compared to other games, they are betting on fan boys, who are here for the lore and not actual game. Its better if you don't waste your time if you don't plan to pay. If you do plan to pay, than you can literally buy a better game that looks better and plays better for the same price of the expansions.

Been playing since 2009, it was a really fun game back in the time. you would pay $15 a month and that would be it. Now there are so many microtransactions. This company really went downhill. Deeds? loot boxes? You either spend money on the cash shop or spend hours upon hours farming mobs for deeds to get 5-10 LOTRO coins. The system is terrible. Save yourself money and/or time and find yourself a better game. Or ya know just wait for Amazon's Lord of the rings MMO if you REALLY wanna play a lord of the rings MMO.

Ah yes, the game for the best of us nerds... It's free, so why not try it? It's actually quite scary how closely the game is aligned with the books. This game is 100% not based on the movies at all, but that makes the game quite unique in its own way. The graphics are nostalgic, but also modern enough to be able to respectably appreciate the landscape. This game's map is HUGE. It takes several weeks IN REAL LIFE to travel on foot across the entire map. That being said, the expansions for the game are very expensive. I wouldn't devote myself to this game unless you are willing to pay at least $300+ for the full experience of the game. That being said, the free to play part of the game isn't bad at all. Again, it's free, so why not try it?

It's 50/50 yes/no so I'll just round up. It's a decent free to play game with a lot of story content. The combat is slower more modern games like GW2, ESO, or retail WoW. The world is huge with a lot of adventures to be had solo or in a group. The engine is its biggest downfall; there is no 4k for those who have 4k, and input lag/delay is common. The second glaring issue is the abundance of microtransactions. While the base game is free, they have a microtransaction for basically every facet of the game. Whether this is a good business idea is up for debate. Quest Packs for zones, region packs, extra character slots (though I don't envision many people have more than a handful), confusing expansion packs, mount speed, races, instances, cosmetic outfit slots, etc. are all purchasable. A lot of it is unnecessary for a decent, hours-long FREE experience, and are optional. I am only recommending it because it is free to play and only some MTs improve your overall experience.

Dont play this game! You will never want to quit! The lore, the immersion, and gameplay is unlike any other. I came back to this game after being away for 10yrs and cant get away. I was blown away by all the new content, its about 1000hrs easy. They also made the first epic quest line free to players which is an easy 100yrs of questing just to suck you in. For the full game basics your looking at about 150$, but they made it where you can earn in game money and get everything for free. The game is very faithful to the Tolkien books, even more so then the movies. If you love Tolkien you will love this. I have played all the major MMOs out there and this is the best one.

The aggressive monetization would make a lot of free to play games blush. The currency cap, having to purchase shared storage, not to mention the cordoning off of game content (among other examples of nickel and diming) points to a ludicrously greedy company having its developer make a cash machine. It's a shame, because I actually do enjoy the game, but even just starting out the chopping up of game content can be seen. They probably won't change it, so I wouldn't bother investing a lot of time in this game.

But I always come back. And everytime I come back, there is new content, although it's been already 9 years since this game was developed. They continue adding content. And they have recently announced there will be a graphic revamp in short.

The bad - As MMO's go, it's standard fare, crafting, levelling, and of course - End Game means rerunning the same most recent dailies/raids ad nauseam as you wait for the next ex-pac, but at least there are regular ex-pacs. They need to make old content relevant by increasing difficulty and rewards accordingly, there is voluminous group content that I have yet to run after 3700+ hours because no one's interested, there's no reward or challenge going back. The good - The social environment is absolutely unmatched on any MMO I've played, this game attracts intelligent and decent people, while there are occasional spats in chat, it's almost always upbeat, interesting & funny, Tolkien lore is often discussed and these folks KNOW their Tolkien. There is a boatload of story content, to a fault even, to where levelling takes a comparatively long time, months or more. Logging on to LOTRO is like watching an old Cheers episode, familiar names, decent conversations and, oh yeah, there's a game there too. I still play other games, but LOTRO is the one I subscribe to. If you're burnt out on toxic players, this game might be worth a try, especially where it's free to try.

Over the years I played it on and off since beta. Upon logging in again after a few years I was immediately refamiliarized with the lack of acceptable performance in LOTRO. Thirteen years and the developers still have yet to spend a moment of their time addressing these issues. I refuse to give one more dime and finance behavior like this. There are multiple websites associated with LOTRO and multiple account pages on different sites that lead to a lot of confusion and only one gives you the relevant information you need or allows you to subscribe. Some pages simply don't work or partially work. The URL that the game sends you to for the store is a broken URL. You must launch the game from the executable and not Steam for the in-game store to work. Content is broken up into updates, quest packs, expansions, etc that are or are not available to free players/premium/VIP (subscribers) and can be overly confusing. They are not instilling a lot of faith in players.

Dont be fooled by my hrs played. I started playing this in about 2009 when it wasn't on steam and would have had over a thousand hours invested into it. I recently installed again through steam as I felt nostlagic lately and really missed it. This game (along with Dungeon Master on the Atari in the 80's) have given me the most entertainment and memories than any other game. I stopped playing about ?4 yrs ago in disgust when it turned to P2P. Even deleted my old maxed out dwarf and said good by the clan. I carried on for a few months, but got really sick of basically playing in a pop-store constantly asking me to buy stuff. I couldn't travel to areas I once could (through solid grinding) and the game starting changing for the worse. That was the Siege of Mirkwood. Mines of Moria was practically perfect and was the peak of this game. Massive maps, good range of difficulty, full servers and great community. It was the Mines of Moria that made me reinstall a week ago and thought id give i ago. I was immediately hit by how dated it looked, and again, the frustration of 'buy me' pops ups. I then popped online to the reviews here and noted have everyone has said the game is on its last legs and things quickly got worse. The trait changes sound horrible and helms deep sounds subpar. Ive decided to not bother starting again and will delete again. Ill keep my memories. So sad the way its gone, after Moria. Id probably recommened for new players just for the exploration and walking around Tolkiens world and then stop when you finish Moria possible. It might be too quiet to really enjoy though.

Middle earth is so well done here, there is no moment in WOW classic that is similar to the awe of finally getting to Rivendell. WOW is probably the better MMO but for a casual MMO experience LOTRO surprised me.

You know, I play A LOT of MMO's and I mean A LOT, but this one...there is something about it. Its my go to MMO when I just wanna chill and relax. The solo questing doesn't actually make me wanna kill myself. Its almost...therapeutic. Want me to go kill 12 boars? Sure sounds like a nice time. Enjoy the scenery, sip some wine, kill some pigs, all is well. The community is also the least toxic I've encountered of any mmo (besides FFXIV but its even better than that ones is in different ways) Graphics are outdated as hell yet it is such a beautiful freaking game at the same time. I recommend getting on redit and looking for a good kinship when the time comes for you, thats how I found mine and they are pretty awesome!

I have played Lotro on and off for many years now and now coming back to it with free to play model is great. Yes somethings can cost money to get extra quests packs, expack etc. But you can buy that with in game points that you get from doing deeds so it can truly be free to play.

Despite having an authentic world of Tolkien displayed in a video game and huge lore of Middle-Earth, the number of microtransactions in this game is as big as Tolkien's lore. You are literally sold every piece of content there is, starting from race, items, quests, expansions, cosmetics, level boosts, mounts, buffs, etc. If there is a list of microtransaction type check, LOTRO has them all. The game itself didn't age well, gameplay itself is very outdated and as engaging as peeling potatoes. Can't recommend it to any LOTR fan, if you are looking for a great time in the world of Middle-Earth, then look somewhere else, because this game certainly doesn't deliver it.

Currency Cap, newbie player can't have more than 2g unless you buy unlimited currency wallet....you gotta be kidding me! Talk about p2w... Just make it a monthly subscription if you're going to do something like that! Not to mention you have to purchase all extensions, or you only get a small version of the game to play...not cool!

I really love this game its a very nostalgic experience for me since ive played it since i was 7 on and off and it does so an amazing job at teaching you the lore of Lord of the Rings, you will need to pay a bit to experience what this amazing world has to offer but you dont have to pay more than you would for a ea game so i dont really think it matters but if you are broke and dont have any cash there is a way for you to do so ingame it will just take a little while but you will get through it. The combat can be slow at time but its also something youll get used to. All in all i would deffinetely say this is a must play for any Lord of the Rings fan and ive had and will keep having a blast playing it

Graphics can be better but it is an old game on an old engine. I would recommend obtaining a mount as soon as possible. You will have enough LOTRO points to buy one by lvl 17-20. after obtaining a mount, the game gains more replay value.

I'm sorry but why is this game so expensive? You have to individually purchase a questpack to get past level 35 content and there's like 30 questpacks that cost around $20. You must be outside your mind if you think I have that much money to throwaway for a game. This game is not new player friendly at all.

Let me tell you all a story. This game has been through shit and backwards, it has it's cons and pros, but it keeps coming back with updates that do change the games mechanics and cons. The lag atm is unberable, but that's mainly because SSG are stuck in the toilet. The last 1-2 months, the servers have been laggy as hell, with tons of bugs and weird stuff happening. You log onto one of your characters and you may be stuck in loading screen for over 5 minutes, this may occur on that same character for close to an hour, cause there is a shit in the system. But if you look at my hours, thats just some of my hours... I have most likely played over 10 thousand hours, but december 2019 I installed LOTRO on Steam, therefor I got some extra hours here. The game is amazing. The lore is breath taking, with some amazing quests, voice actors, cinematics and the crafting so relaxing and fun. The game has US, EU and DEUTCH/FRANCE/RP servers. Every now and then, they throw in a server just for an event. Just recently we had a PvP server only for an event, once the event ended, you could transfer your characters on that server to other servers for free. We have Legendary Servers, which are VIP Access only. Those servers are for people, who wish to endure the end game levels we had back in 2010 and so on. The people on this game are amazing, so kind and fun. World chat can be toxic from time to time, because some one starts mentioning politics, and it all goes to shit. You can turn of your World Chat if you dont feel like seeing all the shit in chat or leave it be and have a laugh while having a cup of tea. Graphics are kind of out dated, but they fit the games perspective quite well (also cause SSG cant afford fuck all) Overall, LOTRO has some cons and pros, but the cons are mainly hinted towards SSG's wallet. Enjoy Middle-Earth everyone. (GET VIP) <3

Very friendly community, tons to do. The graphics hold up strong even after all these years. The questing and story are fun even if you're far behind. On the other hand, their microtransaction/account status system is sorta confusing in that it reminds me of SWTOR's, but not quite.

I wanted to give this some fair game play before I gave it a review. I come from OLD MMORPG games, I grew up when WoW was just a baby and a new game and I was so excited when it became this cult following. But after Lich King the whole game play went down hill for me as did for a lot of other hard core players. I have not logged into that game in over a year or more. I didn't miss it until I started playing this game. Now I am not telling people to run out and buy Wow, but this game right here. Is worth your time especially since it's free and you really don't HAVE to pay to play or to advance since doing certain tasks in the game reward you with tokens for their store. And because of that some of the stuff seems really over priced to me, but I am not going to focus on that as this is the only game I have played that has this feature so I don't know if the pricing is reasonable or not, it may be. They also have a paid monthly subscription for 14.99 (same as WoW) that allows you to get a LOT of things that you normally don't for free. I have a free account and was able to get enough coins to buy a riding token and I got a mount from a Famers Faire, so I am level 17 running around on a pretty nice mount for FREE. So you can get by without paying for sure if money is an option for you. Game play. Lets talk about that shall we. The graphics yes are old and slightly dated. it reminds me of a early 2000's late 90's game style. However the detail that they put into it is absolutely astounding from an aesthetic perspective. When I make my horse turn left or right it puts it's ears back and turns it's head, like a real horse. The last MMO to give us that kind of mount realism was BDO and that was a pretty recent release, this game has been out for awhile so you get where I am going with this. Yet I don't remember this game getting that much hype. Even the leveling and skill tree design is a bit realistic as well as the currency flow. I would be lying if I didn't sometimes feel like I was sucked into the movie and I was playing a role in helping Frodo destroy the ring. There isn't a nagging questline that you HAVE to follow in order to progess. In fact, I am pretty sure this game EXPECTS you to just go out explore, talk to people and do your own thing at your own pace. Group instances are a thing, but they are not in your face, nor is PVP if you are into that sort of thing, this may not be your cup of tea. If you like chilling out in a game and fishing and seeing new things and exploring all of Middle Earth, then this is your game for sure. I have a cup of tea in front of me after just having my first breakfast and about to log on and thought I need to review this and let people know about this really cool game. Download it, play it, enjoy.

Short reviews to help you decide, if Lotro is the game for you: I played this game from 2007(release)-2011 and on and off after that. Ofc the number of players, the stabillity and quality has declined in recent years. But it's still a great MMO. Pros: - The best visualization of middle-earth in any game. (So as a LOTR-Fan you kinda have to give it a try!) - Great story and love for detail. - Super huge ingame-world. - Great community. You will always find someone to help you or talk to. Cons: - dated and clunky combat. - Not-so-great class balancing. - Mediocre engame-PvE (mostly grinding marks and stuff). The instances still look nice tho. - No real PvP (honestly: if you want PvP in your MMO - don't play this!) In conclusion: If you just want to explore a great and beautiful fantasy-world: go for it! If you want a great PvE and PvP MMO: there are probably better games out there.

13 years on and still adding new content. They've had some stability issues this summer 2020, but really WHO HASN'T? Add LOTRO lag to the list of crap we have to deal with this year. It's a great game still and the storytelling and the gameplay hold up even if the graphics feel a little dated.

While I do like the game storyline and mechanics, this mmo has huge glitches on the server side of the application. Gameplay halts, lags, and rubberbands fairly regularly. Should the SysOps be able to overcome their socket or packet mismanagement I would give it a much better review. If anybody wants to try this game, I recommend starting with the F2P option, then upgrade to VIP if the admin gets the mess straightened out.

Back in 2015 I attempted to play this again. Was a complete NOPE from the depths of my logic and I proceeded to exit and uninstall. Now... in 2020... a different story emerges. The engine is the same, of course, but they have updated and tweaked the game to the point where it is once again a relevant game to play, a definite MMORPG choice and a delight to be back within Middle Earth in all it's precioussssss glory! ... plus, dwarves. 'Nuff said.

There was a time I would have recommended this game, but having returned to the game after quitting after the Rohan expansion I realise this game has not aged well, nor has it been taken care of that well. Firstly, the community in all but the highest level areas is dead. Of course, this was always going to happen, but as the level cap increases it is harder to justify playing the game when there is no community at the lower levels. Some of the best instances in the game (the ones in the original release) no longer get enough players for them so you will never get to experience it. When it went free to play originally, the standard of the community lowered a lot. It also opened it up to in-game-gold sellers to spam the message boxes with advertisement. It has somewhat recovered from this, but not entirely. The combat has aged poorly. I would not say it was the best even back at release, but now it is completely outdated. Due to this, there is very little they can do with it to spark interest. They have changed menus and the way certain skills and abilities work, but there has not been a real change to the combat since the Rohan expansion and horse combat (which was not the best, to be honest, but it was something new). Balancing of classes for group instances is poor. Champions are practically useless for end game content now; most parties prefer not to have them. If you want to play this game, do not make a Champion. They used to be one of the main damage dealers with the Hunter, but have been surpassed by other classes now. The store is more prominent than it was when the game originally went free to play. It is in your face all the time now with more items to buy that help you to level quicker. The game is dying. No matter what people say, it is dying; all the signs point to it. The new content is of lower quality and seems to come slower and slower. The community only exists at the high level end (very few new players); any new characters you see will likely just be alts of existing players, who will likely only be interested in power levelling. Support for the game is getting worse and worse. Getting help from the developers is really difficult now. A final things to take into count is how long this game is going to last. With the announcement of Amazon's Lord of the Rings MMORPG, it puts definite time limit on the games life.

LotRO is the only MMORPG that I enjoy playing any longer. I burned out on WoW years ago, and I'm generally apathetic toward MMOs these days, but LotRO has a few things going for it that have kept it in my Steam library for years: Tolkien's Middle-earth is a setting that I dearly love, and LotRO has done an excellent job being true to the source material as well as gaining inspiration from the Jackson movies. Middle-earth is a place I'll happily spend time in, even if my current quest is less than interesting to me. That said, the quests in general are more flavorful and interesting than the usual grind-and-fetch, rinse-and-repeat blandness that made playing WoW such a chore. There may have been an ongoing story in WoW behind your quests, but honestly I couldn't tell you what it was. In contrast, LotRO's quests maintain the chronology of the novels while never making you feel like you're playing second fiddle to the Fellowship. In addition, the fact that there is a dedicated RP server where the conventions are enforced is an immediate draw for me. WoW had RP servers, but even in Moon Guard, you'd still see toons leaping around with ridiculous or offensive names harassing you for roleplaying. I haven't yet seen this on Laurelin, and the fact that there are posted rules guidelines is encouraging to me.

So, I love Lord of the Rings. But when I found out that Daybreak took this game over in 2016, I just couldn't continue playing. Not only has that company ruined so many MMOs I love (such as cancelling Asheron's Call, and grabbing EQ and EQ2), but they are also the company who has changed the prices from little back in the day, to what you see now. Daybreak also wants to not only share your info (they say so in their agreement you agree to) but they also want your ISP info! Not worth it.

I'll try to keep this short and sweet. TL;DR: The game is very fun with a few friends in a party. Lots of free content to get you through 50+ hours. Some freemium limitations creep up but don't cause any real issues. I played this for many hours back in...2009/2010ish and had a lot of fun with my friends. Came back recently with the same friends+ and it's been pretty great. We haven't spent real money on it, so there are a couple of freemium drawbacks, but nothing terrible. Pros: +A lot of free content to play through. Up to around level 60 I believe. + New developer has simplified the way you earn new skills (Ya just get them, instead of going to town and talking to your class trainer and spending money to learn them) + Music really feels like Lord of the Rings + Having a party (fellowship) really feels like you're working together. We picked jobs that compliment eachother, so one is making armor, one is making weapons, etc. You get a sense of accomplishment sharing recipes and ingredients to make fun stuff for your team. Freemium cons: - Gold cap at 5 gold: None of us have run into an issue where we need more money. In fact, when we hit our cap we just find something that can be upgraded, like your vault storage space, and spend it on that. Otherwise it's not caused any issues - LOTRO Points: or Turbine points as they used to be called. This is the in-game, premium currency, but you do earn the currency by fulfilling things in-game. You have to spend them to get the horse riding skill, but we all basically had enough when we got to Bree where you can get your first horse. - Swift Travel locked/limited inventory space: Takes longer to get to places and you throw away stuff you don't need or head to town and sell/make/store stuff in your vault.

A great MMO focused on exploration and lore of Tolkiens Middle Earth. With Thousands of hours logged both Thru steam and thru the games launcher, I feel qualified to to a pro cons list. Pros: -Fantastic community, The LOTRO community is still very active! with thousands online on the main servers. just ask world chat or anyone running around and 95%of the time they will help you. the community does not tolerate flaming, trolling or harassment. And the devs listen to the community and make sure any issues are taken care of in a timely manner. -Class Variety, the classes in this game are very unique for a tab target MMO, With each class feeling like a whole new game. -Content, LOTRO has more landscape and quests than any other MMO that I know of. I have over 5 months logged on to a single toon, and still havent discovered all locations, done all the quests, raids, instances ect. -Lore friendly, LOTRO is based on the middle earth novels. not the movies. The devs have succeeded in making the most lore friendly Tolkien game. while mixing in their own story leading the player down an epic quest to save middle earth while the fellowship is destroying the ring. I highly recommend reading the quests for the great story. Cons: -graphics, the game is over 10 years old so the graphics are not going to hold up to the new mmos. -PVP, the pvp in lotro is dwindling and does not get much love from the devs. There are usually scheduled nights where you can have 30v30 battles, Yet you will have to endure lots of lag. -server lag. This is the biggest con, the lotro servers are very dated and the lag can make it almost unplayable during raids, and PvP. Is LOTRO free? tldr... no it is not. you can play free up to about level 30. but if you want to go past there and access the other 95% of the game you will need to subscribe or buy lotro points. IMO this is understandable because you have a small dev team that are pouring all their efforts into the game. They gotta make a living somehow. later on there is some issues with progression being eaither grind or pay. The game is not focused on competitive play so really this is not an issue. 8/10 still favorite game.

Still an excellent mmo. One of my top 3. A little dated, but not painfully so. Notable for the fact that each class has its own mechanics, making each feel different to play. Does a great job of inserting the player into the war of the ring in a way that makes you feel like you matter, without stepping on the toes of the tale as written by JRR Tolkein.

if you love The Lord of The Rings movies then this is a game for you. The graphics quality is okay,but for me it's not about that. I'ts more about the experience I have playing the game its self. I can play along the story or I can adventure off and do side quests. I can queue and solo my own dungeons instead of waiting for a big party. There are fun little in game activities that the game provides. Also if you'd rather be the bad guy you can play in Monster mode and go kill all the Freeps you want. xD This game has a lot to offer since Standing Stones has taken it over. Like they have really upped their details in game.

I've been playing this game since beta testing, and for me, it is the quintessential MMO. I know that WOW has it by a couple of years, but the fact that the LOTRO devs worked so hard to work in the Tolkien lore into this game makes it fantastic. It's not as pretty as it felt upon launch -- if you want pretty, go play ESO -- but it's a staple for me.
