Good day.
I'm here today to discuss Lord of the Rings online! Does anyone else play it? Favourite classes? What are your characters and levels? Favourite skirmish?
One of my character names in Gunthorian. Add it if you wish. It's a level 29 Minstrel and kind of need help on a few quests.

Ah...Fun Game

This wasn't my favorite RPG game, but I did like what I saw. The quests were thought out well, even in the tutorial ones. That is a plus for sure, it is very detailed throughout. You really feel the game, if you know what I'm saying.

This game is pretty awesome! It is like World Of Warcraft for Lord of the Ring

I've been wanting to try out this game for a while now, but the huge download has really put me off. Can anyone give me some detail about the game if its worth it or not?

It would be greatly appreciated

I played LOTRO since release. What it has become is just awesome. Try it if you never played it!

[Arkast]

This looks sweet, I can't believe I never played this. Now it's too late with other things taking up my time.

Played on LOTRO for awhile now.  It's really good and the environment is carefully and beautifully crafted.  Heck, where else can you go just to wander around Tolkien's landscape?

the beauty of LOTRO is in the amount of non-combat fun you can have.  Given I haven't played since high end Moria, but I am sure all that stuff is still in them.  We used to put on concerts with our in game cover band, there is an actual music mechanic to the game, we used to play a bunch of Beetles and Led Zeppelin.  We also used to get together and create comic books by having people dress up using the really cool costume system LOTRO has and taking screenshots.  I guess you can do that in WoW, but LOTRO has a ton of costume sets and wearable items that are only for show.  The festivals put WOW festivals to shame.  They had drunken races where you run around the shire getting more and more wasted, they have horse races at various tracks where you actually ride the horses while you race them.  Their pipe weed system is pretty fun too.  Each does a different smoke trick, like swimming fish or sailing boats.  You have to do rare combinations with seeds and all that to find them.

Some of the boss fights were much more fun than WoW too.  Some felt much more like an action game than an MMO, having to hide behind pillars so the boss would grab and knock the pillars over on itself.  Then you had the Watcher in the Water fight, which was amazingly cool.

I enjoyed my couple of years in LOTRO way more than I did in my many years of EQ and WoW that I did.

I liked the book better than the movie and game both. But there okay...

I just installed this on Steam!

Hopefully it works!

[Xintox]

I like this game but it doesn't work any more because I can't get the character creation screen up. Can anyone help with this? I'd be very grateful if anyone knows how to fix it. Just send me a message to my profile if you want. Thanks

I remember I once played the LOTR game Battle for the Middle of the Earth. I remember I had tons of fun with it but its been two years since I last played it. It was not an MMO but it was still a very fun game.

I played this game for a month or so and really enjoyed it.  I played a Magician.  I didn't have as many friends that played this one as played World of Warcraft, so I started to lose interest after leaving the 'tutorial' areas.  Also, I had a hard time deciding what I should do next.

That aside, I loved the crafting/professions system (I forget what they called it) and the combat was interesting.  All the abilities my character had were a bit overwhelming.
