Lord Of The Rings Online (LOTRO)

The same friend that introduced me to LOCO sometime ago (post), has been trying to convice me to play this MMORPG, called Lord of The Rings Online (LOTRO), based on the story and the worlds of the Lord of the Rings. I love Lord of the Rings, and I really like RPGs, I don't play WOW, I like to play it when I know other people that are playing it too and LOTRO is now free to play, which also convinced me to try it. So, I finally downloaded it a couple of days ago and yesterday I started to play it.

The game is really beautiful, I haven't been able to see much of the Middle Earth yet, and definitely not the known parts, but it is really well done. It also seams that you will always have quests to make, which for me is great, I hate having only to kill beasts to upgrade a level, I like having objectives!

You can start the game as a human, an elf, a hobbit or a dwarf, after that there are several classes that will define which type of character you'll be. This is what you need to decide before you even began to play the game, other possibilities unfold afterwards in the game...

There are a lot of things to say about it, but I think it is not the point of this post, I just wanted to share a new game that caught my atention, it is free, at least a part of it, of course some items and objects are not, but then...

For now I have a champion human, Erindien from Rohan, with whom I don't usually play, and a minstrel elf, Linthorwen from Rivendell, who I think is going to be my main character. Let's see how I deal with the game and if I really like it I might even buy some of the paied expansions

Here is a trailer of the game:
