The Lord of the Rings Online™

Really easy, no pvp, gets boring fast. jam packed with lore for the lord of the rings fans and people looking for a slower pve experience, but i need skulls for the skull throne.

This sucks ass

Pretty good

Look- the game is dated, and that's fine. But that doesn't really excuse how clunky movement and combat feel (WoW nailed this years before), how laggy the servers are with rubber-banding constantly, and how 90% of the quests are simple fetch x or kill x. I was willing to look past all of this, until I tried two of the instances: Pelagir and Minas tirith. Wow, these areas genuinely look like unpolished pieces of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and we are letting new players breath in these experiences. Ontop of them being ugly, the actual mechanics such as as siege machines are so unresponsive and clunky, I don't even know how it escaped the earliest beta testing. The high elf beginning shadows tutorial genuinely teaches you nothing and has insanely inconsistent voice acting, and after you get out you choose your game landscape difficulty not from an intuitive UI, but from a random quest vendor. Why? Game is worth a shot but I suspect unless you are a diehard LOTR fan you'll be turned off.

As an MMO, it is a bit outdated and there is better options in the market and yet I keep coming back. Why is that? Well it's the charm of it, the graphics are nostalgic and the systems are easy enough to accompany. But the lore and quests is where this MMO shine, especially in later content. So, as a Tolkien fan, this isn't an MMO, it's Middle Earth, it's home.

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.

The Lord of the Rings Online ist für mich das beste MMO +Wunderbare Atmosphäre +Tolle Soundtrack +Entspanntes Gameplay usw... -leicht verstaubte Grafik aber sonst okay mehr negatives fällt mir nicht ein am Ende ist es ein solides MMO für jeden ist etwas dabei in Lotro Story oder einfach so zum chillen ist es Perfekt :) Wenn ich es Zocke Stream ich es auch www.twitch.tv/zumlustigenschnitzlwirt
