LOTR Online
123►
Based on J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth writings Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) is a fantasy MMORPG in which the story takes place inside the Lord of the Rings (book) time window. The game developed by Turbine was launched on April 24, 2007 and was followed by two expansion packs: Mines of Moria (released Nov. 17, 2008) and Siege of Mirkwood (released Dec. 1, 2009). A third expansion called Rise of Isengard was announced and its release is expected during the fall of 2011. The game offers nine playable classes: Burglar, Capitain, Champion, Guardian, Hunter, Lore-master, Minstrel, Rune-keeper and Warden. Accessing these classes is limited by the chosen race, of which there are four: Dwarf, Elf, Hobbit and Man. While Lord of the Rings Online doesn’t stray too far from the well-known fantasy MMORPG recipe, there are several features that stand out. One of them is the trait system which allows players to equip and combine traits in order to gain different bonuses and special abilities. Another refers to the PVP system of the game called Monster Play or Player vs. Monster Player (PvMP). After reaching level ten, all players can start playing a level 65 Monster and fight high level regular player controlled characters in specially designed PVP areas. The goal of the PVP clashes is controlling various keeps in the Ettenmoors and of course slaying members of the opposing faction. The Lord of the Rings Online gives players a feeling of quality that is very rare in today's MMORPG environment. Every single detail of the game is crafted to near perfection with famous characters and locations from the books and movies bringing the game to life in ways you could never imagine. Whether you've read the books a hundred times or just seen the movies once, you'll find your mind returning to your memories of Middle-Earth as you explore The Shire, Helms Deep, the historical town of Bree and many other iconic locations from the franchise. The Lord of the Rings Online is also one of the most updated MMORPG games currently on the market. Players are regularly treated to new content updates, brand new expansions, additional dungeons and much more. The dungeons and end-game raids in The Lord of the Rings Online are some of the best in the industry. Requiring expert levels of communication and teamwork the end-game challenges in LOTRO will require the very best your guild has to offer. LOTRO is currently running on a free-to-play business plan which means you can explore the world of Middle-Earth for free.

    Looks great at the start, not bad till 20, and by 25 you are goddamn furious about the ‘lotro store’ and how much advantage and ability premium users have over the free….. Game had potential, sucks to play, enjoy, then feel screwed.

I can’t pick race, Idk what to do. If someone helps me great, but this is maken me mad, (YES I RELOADED AND YES I REINSTALLED.) 8X

    A great game that stays true to the world created by J.R. Tolkien. Without premium, your account will have certain limitations, like not being able to ride a mount, but this can be bought at the in-game store for Turbine points. Turbine points are awarded for completing certain deeds, for example slaying a set number of monsters or exploring a zone. With the Lone Lands zone now freely available, it will be at least until the mid 30s before you’ll need to purchase additional content to continue questing. All in all, it will keep you entertained for a good while at least.

    With respect to the story, and the idea I like, but the limitations will drive you nuts. My charecter was level 35 and I had exaused all my points, and was unable to do much else other than the same three instances and two Skermishes. I had completed all Slaying quests and zone quests for the contend I had unlocked up to Trollshire. And after months of not playing I tried again about a month ago, and still I kept threw my paitence and I hit the same problem. I could only unlock 2 charecters, (level 25 and 35) but I only had like 150 Turbine points. I was LOCKED in, and came to the conclusion that I would eventually have to buy points! Yeah, I could have gone to 35 also with my alt, but when certian points cost 600 Turbine points, and I only earn 10 per slaying of 30 monsters… or exploring a zone… but what I spent two weeks playing to get 300 points and still be short? Either way, I felt locked in, and still do. If they had more ways to gain points, or brought up the amount from earnings it may be worth it. I know they just want to get paid for their work, but this is a shitty excuse for “free to play!”

    this is a great game.. YES it has a premium item store.. but EVERY “free to play” game has some form of item store.. they need to make oney somehow to continue updating and adding new content.. ok some of the limitations suck.. such as certain “locked” areas, but there’s still plenty of other quests to be done.. all in all.. a great game to play (if you’re a fan of the books more then the movies)

    It’s not really F2P. It’s kinda like WoW; You have access to 4 areas at the start for free: The 3 starter areas and 1 additional area. They can get you through to mid 30’s without having to buy anything. However, then the quests dry up unless you buy Quest Packs. (You can do “deeds” ingame which reward very small amounts of TP, anywhere from 5-20) You can buy 1 quest pack with the TP you can scrounge up (I have managed to garner a total of about 700ish, aka 1 quest pack. >_>), and then that’s all for free players.

    (I DO know that the epic questline goes through all the areas, but that’s still only 1 questline. The people who like having a lot to do would probably get bored of just having the 1 quest eventually.)
