Played this game for year and now over the past year this game is getting better. Would recommend it to anyone who loves Tolkien or MMOs in general.
After playing this game, I found that it really does have a good story line to follow and you can easily get sidetracked by the additional stories in the game. I would recommend to those based on, "you can do 30 minutes in game, a couple quest,s and log off, if that is your play style." Depending on the server, you will find many people are friendly and helpful to those in the game.
Like any MMO, "you might find the player who is negative or not helpful". Don't let that defer you, engage the groups or players who will answer your questions, or even help you along the way.
Fantastic game. Have played it since 2008. I have left it twice. But always come back.
I don't understand why it isn't as popular as WoW. As to me it is so much better.
It has everything I want in an MMO.
Still one of the most most immersive and fun MMORPGs. Also the most gentle freemium model that I have seen. Older graphics. Great music. Fellowships. Kinships. Houses. Dungeons and quests.
I used to play it as non-steam game. It is really fun to play. I met many new friends there. I wish I could see the game earlier when it was released. Unfortunately I discovered it late but still even after all this years game is alive and well so even this only shows that game is worth trying. There are people who play this game only to walk and ride horse around middle earth and watch the views. But of course quests are amazing too. You should read the stories when you do questing ( especially main quests) There are different races and classes you can play with. Like Elf, High Elf, Beorning, Man, Hobbit, Dwarf and as classes Captain, Champion, Guardian, Burglar, Rune-Keeper, Lore-Master and so on. Each class has different kind of abilities and each are fun. I loved playing as Captain and Lore-Master. As a new player you can choose Champion cause it's easier to play with it I think.
I have been playing this game from Alpha stage, granted it is older graphics but not the worst out there. Many many hours of gameplay to be head with fantastic content if your a fan of the Movies, Books, etc. then give it a try. I personally love the game and the community is one of the best I have seen.
I love to play this game just to unwind and take in the scenary of Middle-Earth. It's a great game to play with friends or also alone. It's free-to-play but there is content blocked by a pay wall. Technically, you can get past the pay wall by just playing the game but it's a monotonous grind. I listen to the "LOTRO Podcast" while playing this game and it's really relaxing. Overall, highly recommended.
If you're a Tolkien fan, you should love this. It's a lot of fun seeing how much care and attention has gone into recreating the world of middle earth.
As an MMO, it is one of the best ones out. It is certainly more geared to solo players, but does a good job of catering to everyone. The classes range from basic to some of the most advanced and interesting classes I've ever seen in an MMO. (Take Warden or LoreMaster for example)! The community is also one of the friendliest and the servers are still busy and alive to this day. It has stood the test of time and still looks astonishingly beautiful as ever. Add to all that it has fantastic mood setting music you've got a class A product. Many players simply can't stop at a single character and over the years I have kept on coming back to this game. Without a doubt my favourite MMO ever. It's also great to see the dedication of Standing Stone in keeping their work alive and keeping lotro safe for the future years with a decent, not overly greedy free to play system. Much of the content can be enjoyed for free and extras can be bought as required. The only time you may consider spending money is to open up quest packs in different regions and expansion packs. But considering the size and amount of time you could foreseeably spend in this masterpiece, it is well worth it!
This game has taken months off of my life and I still love it. IGN 10/10 for musical instruments. Plus you don't need to buy anything if ur a cheapo the horse riding trait is easily unlocked with deeds so don't give me that sh*t the only problem I have is the gold cap which I am working to take off.
Lotro's graphics maybe somewhat dated at the moment and mechanically it does not stand out to much from other mmos using the same model, but the game does justice to the breadth and scope of Middle Earth and Tolkien's deep lore. I recommend this game to people who value small ambient touches in a game over wow factor and of course to any readers of the Professor.
Love this game. Been playing it for many years. It's really remarkable. Definitely the best 'escape' game out there. Music is really chill, the world and art is beautiful and the gameplay is fairly easy going.
My only complaint about it is that after so many years, it can get a little repetitive but that's mostly my fault for playing it so much. There is quite a bit of grinding involved, but it's mostly enjoyable and there's so much variety in the game that you can change gears all the time and keep yourself engaged in countless activities.
There isn't enough I can say about this game. Being a huge Tolkien fan, this game gives me the sense of Middle-earth in a proper form. The classes are really fun and mostly balanced (certain unbalanced classes, though not unplayable are always getting fixed), the world is exciting and fun to level up through or just explore. The community is really helpful and are always ready to help someone in need. Crafting is great as well. Decorating your house was a really nice feature, but Standing Stone Games recently upgraded it and I haven't seen any other housing decorator system like it. To put it simply, it's amazing.
I think my playtime on this game will say otherwise since I can't say enough. If you're interest in picking it up, please, do yourself a favor and do it.
2023 Update:
First major concern a lot of people have about LOTRO - is it dead?
(Still) No. It still has a very healthy playerbase, big enough that the even the RP servers feel populated. So don't let your worries about population turn you away. The numbers online are not always accurate, so I'd be wary of trusting outside reporting.
This is a classic MMORPG. It's going to be familiar to anyone that has played Everquest, DAoC, WoW, etc. While it means you're not getting any particularly amazing new mechanics, the perk is that LOTRO has figured out how to get the best out of those systems. Leveling feels well-progressed, classes are (mostly) balanced, and there is a lot of variety even within the classes to provide lots of replay value and ways to mitigate strengths and weaknesses.
LOTRO might have the best soundtrack I've ever heard. I recommend turning off battle music and just enjoying the compositions. Bree, as well as the various Inns and Halls located therein, have some fantastic scores attached to them.
Let's be honest though - if you play LOTRO you're probably here because it's Lord of the Rings. And in that regard, you will not be disappointed. The game is steeped in the lore - books and films - and has little nods to it scattered everywhere that are rewarding for someone that is really into their Tolkien scholarship. This is not a LotR skin thrown over a MMORPG framework - this is Middle Earth proper. Even with dated graphics (updates are coming soon, as of this writing) it's still a joy to look at. If you're rolling through some place like the Shire, you'll be able to soak in that sleepy, bucolic atmosphere that the movies portrayed so well.
This is a great MMO experience, and I usually find MMOs tedious. Moreover, it's free - so it's a low-commit to try it out for yourself.
I present you the video passage of the game Lord of the Rings Online, more precisely, its main storyline, which is here proudly called "epic". Numerous side quests scattered throughout Middle-earth will not enter this passage, since for the most part they are tasks like "kill 5 goblins" or "bring 10 wolf tails" and, with rare exceptions, are not worthy of our attention. But the main storyline is very interesting and, most importantly, it very closely intersects with the plot of the books "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit." We will meet a lot of familiar characters, take part in familiar events and how to properly ponostalgiruem.
I will make a reservation that this video passage was created in order to consider the plot of the game and compare it with the books "Lord of the Rings" and "Hobbit", and not run through the whole game, skipping past the description of the quests and doing endless shooting of monsters. Passage does not carry the main purpose of suggesting something to the players (although not without this, of course). Here, rather nostalgia, combined with the analysis of the plot and its connection with the original, untouched universe.
to steam dev.
the downloadable content from steam is too outdated, please update your game, so steam dont refuse our updated version and delete it then try to re-download the outdated content from your servers
Best mmo and best gaming community I have ever encountered, how old the game is doesn't make it look bad at all, it makes it feel kind of special. Only bad thing is that the game has a bad tutorial. It is free to play but there is dlc. U can buy them with a very rare in-game currency that takes a long time to get but most people buy most of them. PvP is Like no other game and amazing. U can play as orcs and spiders or the free people of middle earth, there is a big PvP region where there are out posts to capture that give buffs, castles that if defeated join your faction and give you quests, and an entire secret underground world filled with bosses, not to mention towns and mines to do quests and farm so u never even have to fight another player if you don't want to. You are going to want to work in groups of at least two though to survive, especially if u are low rank because there are high levels from the other faction roaming and npcs meant to fight groups of people.
10 years and still fascinating millions of people world wide. Lotro is right behind WoW and Everquest in long time popularity. For good reasons. The community loves Tolkiens world and they treat eachother with respect and open arms. The most important game in my long history of gaming - an MMO legend you should not miss if you are interested in Middle Earth and its tales. What Peter JAckson did for the books in the movie world, Turbine the developer did for the gaming world. A beautiful and surprisingly accurate depiction of the books and scriptures of JRR Tolkien. A timeless Art Direction makes the game still look relevant today.
Join the greatest Fantasy Universe ever imagined.
Played this game for way too long and way too many hours.
Great game, fab community, superb wiki resources and game mods. The game is largely free from bots, cheats, exploits and if a spammer rears its ugly head once a year (if even that...last I saw one was 2012), it's laughed out the door.
It's the theme park of theme parks, Lord of the Rings. Up to a couple of years ago, very down-to-earth and toned down graphics. Then WB games went medieval on the rear end of the game. In particular the store end of the game.
Now you get deco pets (how about a rat the size of a horse or a shining spectral bear with a little snowstorm above it), silly character costumes and store enchants to rival many Asian micropayment grinders. Happily you can opt out of seeing any deco pets and if you see a bare-chested dwarf in purple tights running around town with a chicken nest on his head...so be it.
On the plus side, there is zero focus on lingerie. The female character game models are as sexless as plywood and the males look either goofy, mildly gay or just a little burly. It's toned down but rather outdated and promises of updates to the character game models have been made.
Typically, a micropayment game is aimed at making you pay and keep paying.
LOTRO is different. If you sub for just one month (that is USD 15), you gain permanent perks and upgrades to your account and your characters that will remain forever. This means that the paywall is nearly non-existant.
Technically you can grind and grind and utilize 99.99% of the features in the game and never whip out your wallet or add your credit card to the store. You can grind out in-game cash and you can grind out store points (example: quest area covering a certain amount of levels would cost 500 store points and you would have to spend 1-2 days dsolely grinding out store points to attain that amount).
Game cash can be used to buy certain store products from other gamers. This is the one recently added pay-to-win game store bias that rubs me the wrong way. The few and far-between botters could use botted game gold to shop regular lootable items before but the choice was limited. Now they can buy most of the useful store items.
Beef:
store stuff vs game gold as long as a gamer is willing to spend
somewhat dated character game models inside a rather lovely game
no apparent effort is made to delete botters or exploiters even if these are very few
not a game in maintenance mode but manned by a dwindling number of staff
yearly novelty features quickly abandoned
bad fishing (hey, I like good fishing in a game!)
rather boring pvp
Superb:
no gold sellers
no focus on lingerie or sexualized children
the lore is deep and to a large extent exact
great atmosphere and in-game muzak
mostly great community
superb external wiki resources for any little feature or thing in the game
great options and conveniences for everything...freely adjust game window, turn weapon glow on and off, show or hide pets, chat filter if wanted, creatable user defined chat channels and tabs, save UI settings for alts but can use entirely different ones, any keyboard command adjustable and little extras like searchable NPC stores, searchable options and so on...really well done
90% well-defined character classes not overlapping too much but not strictly trinity heal-tank-dps
This is probably one of my favorite things to review...as you can tell by my hours..198.8 hours total, BUT I have 64.9 Hours just in two weeks, thats how addicting this game can be, that is with no sitting around, no afking or etc..it's a very fun game..But with the fanboying aside lets get to what you guys came for and give my Pros and Cons
Pros:
Great Community (very helpful no matter what server your on)
Beautiful Atmosphere
Never breaks the tolkien universe feeling (which means always feels like your really in the Tolkien Universe)
Great Variety in Weapons, skill sets, and armors, you will rarely find someone with the same kind of armor and or weapon as you or even close for that matter
Very Unique in its own way, personally I love the cosmetic system, it adds this feeling to kind of drive you into the universe more so you can kinda be more in character, feel like your there (Cosmetic system, allows you to equip armor and weapons that you would personally think suits you, so for man it would be ranger armor and etc, dwarves heavy dwarven armor and etc...Personally it a great feature as it gives a better feeling to it)
Teams still working on the game, making it much better with every update!
Added a new race called Beorning with the class (their like druids, for WoW players you turn into a bear pretty much lol) But also hard to get on free to play..but possible!
Has own servers for Roleplayers (so if your into kind of the Tolkien universe for LOTR that you know a lot about roleplaying and stuff give it a shot, people are very forgiving on Laurelin (the EU and US RP server) along with other servers as well.
Has some wonderfu crafting mechanics that could very much benefit you if you are in a Kinship (kind of like a clan) you can help each other have the gear you need to FIGHT For middle earth!
Cons:
Sadly, helps the VIP a lot, with all expansions and etc unlocked
F2P's have to "farm" all their points in order to level
F2P's have a huge grind
Sometimes you could be looked down upon from being a f2p by VIP's (more my personal experience but still, something to be careful about)
Time Consuming farming (not too much of a complaint as that's how its suppose to be XD)
Graphics for character are out of date (expected of course from 2009)
Some areas can be depressing yes, but that DOESN'T mean its still not beautiful, you could be taken away by the beautiful areas around Angmar, or the huge mountains in Moria or just in the Misty Mountains great places to go (harder to get to if your F2P, trust me..I farmed the points, tough but worth it)
These are of course my personal Pros and Cons, as you would expect, but most of them were based off of other people's reactions to the game and stuff like that, so it is not just me spewing a bunch of stuff out for someone to read :P I hoped you loved the review, and trust me I'd gladly give it a 10/10 course it has its flaws but it is still beautiful, fun, and interesting.
And always remember....Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd ai-mênu! (which means...Axes of the Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!) Sorry i'm a dwarf Junkie myself! :P I love dwarves and their history in the Tolkien universe.
The steam client is trash.
BUT
The game is amazing, It looks stunning for a game that came out when it did and the newer areas show the love the developers have put into the game, I dont use the steam client though because it has caused me some issues.
PROS:
- Follows LOTR lore almost perfectly
- Classes are varied
- Community is always friendly
- THE MUSIC SYSTEM! Its so good. You can either play by hand or use .abc & .midi files to play instruments in game!
CONS:
- Quests are boring if you dont read the quest text, They seem to have no point unless you dive into the story
[*] Difficult to start if your not a "VIP" member. Dont let this put you off! you can get everything legitimatley without paying a dime!
