The Lord of the Rings Online™

After 66 minutes the launcher keeps getting stuck randomly while downloading HD textures. I cant recommend game that's for no reason wasting people time.

The instructions are too vague as is the story line/lines. It's confusing and easy to leave the story arch. For a FtP player the game makes it difficult to advance and traveling is ridiculous. I subscribed and still found the running around consumes more time than actual game play. Movement is more like 70.s arcade style in movement and interaction. If you have an older system that has trouble playing more modern games or your're under 12 years of age I guess you you could settle for LOTRO. Dungons and Dragons is more enteraining and is owned by the same company SSG. No, in good conscience I could not recommend this game and would go as far as warning people not to bother with it all together.

If you're looking for a classic MMORPG experience with Lord of the Rings lore, this is it. It can even run on a potato. It's fun for soloist like me. There's a bunch of side-quests that you can do.

its crazy old, but the story is too good to live your life without having spent a little of it exploring Middle Earth in detail. Water graphics are STILL better than any modern MMO out there. crazy

Downloaded the game because I was craving an MMO I didn't have to pay for. I read a lot of the negative reviews first and decided that all the cons were fine with me, because I wasn't intending to play the game hardcore or try to do end game content or anything. So I downloaded and installed everything. Went to open the game and it failed an update. Tried to verify file integrity. That failed. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Same thing. So ultimately, no I wouldn't recommend this garbage. Literally won't even run. Not sure what else I expected, considering it's a F2P MMO with a lot of very negative recent reviews, but I guess lesson learned in the form of time, energy, and bandwidth wasted.

a very immersive Lord of the Rings experience. Really captures the feel of middle earth well for me, and one I keep coming back to. Very much a play for the journey for me - I don't worry about end game, but love all the solo content.

Juegazo, mucho lore, customización, variedad de clases, el mapa y los escenarios son cine.

This is THE dream of every Middle-earth fan. Well-documented, satisfying even the most picky of fans. ALL of third-age Middle-earth is open to explore. I have read Tolkien's work for 26 years now. I am utterly satisfied.

I have played LOTRO since its release, where level 50 was the end game and Angmar was where everyone was. The Rift was a huge raid, and it took hours to complete...if you were lucky. Lotro is HUGE! Seriously, it is so huge if you wanted to play through every zone and quest, it likely would take years. That said, LOTRO is everything an old MMO can offer, just in vacant lands. Zones are empty... very empty. But that is fine, as you can solo through. I have loved it for a long time, I no longer try for uber gear, as there really is no point, as the next update makes it useless. Now I simply enjoy playing through the zones with no interest in grouping. If you are considering, I would say at least try it. Start a download before bed... and in the morning it should be done. Again, it is huge!

Needs a graphics overhaul bad. or make a new LOTR mmo,
