Oh and the Amazon game is going to be a DEI wokefest fail.

It's fun, it's like my first MMO EverQuest Online Adventures in that it's all about that journey, not the destination. I prefer EQOA myself, as after that time it became mostly doing quests as opposed to grinding mobs in camps, which is how i was introduced to the genre. The old EverQuest formula. Wish it didn't have performance issues though. I still have my physical copies lol.

wonder how is this game still running with no updates or expansions content est?

because of its lore. If they update their graphics and animations, still good game exactly. I hope one day they updates.

Best MMORPG ever to get hooked on enjoying the story and levelling along with parts of the story from the movie Crickhollow server is always alive in chat

It hasn't been "amazing" for a long time. Most especially because of the performance on the best machines available in later parts of the game, horrible mount controls, etc. If they would actually address a lot of things it would be fun. That said the end-game has NEVER been good and PVP was non-existent when I checked a few years ago.

I would love to see this get a graphical overhaul and modernization

XD

I will totally give this game a try. Being a longtime fan of MMORPGs and LOTR, let's go! I will update here to tell you how it went.

I played LOTRO at release, but I never liked the classes. The lore, attention to detail, zones, quests and RP were great though. When I tried it recently, I still wasn't impressed with the classes.

I want to come back, but won't until they rework the interface proper for high resolution monitors. Currently its a blurry mess with anything above 1080p. But... I heard they reworked the store. *rolls eyes*

Tried to give it a shot thrice but the graphics just havent aged well. If they just did an overhaul like the big rival that is WoW...

I've been willing to give it a try, but I'm not an MMORPG player at all

nice graphics xdddd

New low level areas would work in ff14 if you get new quests with xp yoy can complete on a new class or job

Thanks ❤

In 2024 new year's resolution forbifes me from computer games 😢 but LOTRO will be first game that i will choose when i come back in 2025 😇

I’m a huge SWTOR fan. Been playing it since 2013. Love that I can make my own story in Star Wars. Like any MMO it can get very old, but its stories always brings me back. I did try WoW once and I must be blunt, it was probably the most boring video game I’ve ever played. It makes me nervous to play this, but I love the LOTR franchise. Just finished watching the extended editions for the first time. Think it’s worth the shot at least?

LOTRO is the most underrated mmo ever. I love it. Beautiful game. 17 years now!

I thought it was gone. I only played it once and used my trial mount to tour middle Earth and sight see. I need to get a pc again…

Stupid ass game

Yeah alright i'll join up

If Amazon's LotR game is going to be handled like their RoP project, I don't have high hopes for it.

Waaaay tooooo many abilities, your interface looks like a plane cockpit with too much to mind. Simpler combat rotations will bringme back to the game (got over 1200 hours of play)

If I had the free time I'd have a max lvl of all classes, but I play very infrequently. I really put in a lot of hours back in Moria and Mirkwood. I missed out on launch but did get to raid The Rift with my kin.

Isn’t it pay to win

More addons to buy then all MMOs combined 😂

Awful combat

Why dont some people in the community make a mod of this with better graphics/animations etc. With such large gap between modern game graphics it should not be huge effort to get significant improvements. Then you have a game with perfect lore and gameplay, And graphics / animations :)

Is it I kind of find the whole pay for this pay for that thing kind of distracting

Its not amazing almost 10 years. Its graphics like ugh, its gameplay like meh, theres only good story but its not the merit of the game. Even the hated Blizzard understands that the game must keep up with the times, and not get stuck in an era when there really was no normal equipment for creating games. And if you are hardcore old schoolers, then sit in your basements with 8-bit consoles and dont appear in the internet from there.

trash game

I sometimes install it and play it for a while, I really like it and think its actually beautiful but oh my god I need a 4k UI to actually play this long term, at 4k I cant read anything and at lower resolutions the game looks incredibly blurry for me.

lotr will do fine as long as the amazon series keeps being trash.

Its really not😂

Back in the day it was my favourite MMO of all time (even more fun than WoW) but when they changed over to free to play and i was locked out of content i payed for i had to ditch it. Such a waste

1:34 yea may i point out if a game is that old you end up with hard code. good example is WoW heared once a dev found a .PNG of a random coconut. it was put in the files early in the game devlopment the dev deleted the immage compiled the game and after that they went on a month of panic testing. just by deleting a image that wasnt linked to annything made the game crash. why? it was there for so long it became part of the hard code of the game. im not sure if i recall correct but its basicly the game engine refering back to a line of code as a waypoint to find its way. runescape also had this problem with rs2 lumbridge cobble bridge. they could not delete it. and changing objec file worked but never showed the object change in game XD. yes OSRS likley still cant change that bridge. wierd and intresting stuff i know a littlebit about. (i had a fall in techer at basic school dude was in his 60s had all caracters maxed out and knew GMs. thats how i got the WoW storie. i dit not play wow much but he also played cod mw2 he was a beast.) (and the one from RS i know because back in the day there were 3 dutch jagex moderators 1 for comunity and other 2 were devs. i knew them cause i hanged out in the same world as they did. yea.. the old times devs were loged into a mmo to chill with players while making the game. we need that back....

LoTRO will always have a place in my heart, but yeah, the lag is a serious problem.

This is the mother franchise of fantasy. It is a shame we do not get a better game

This and star wars the old republic both epic even to this day

Standing stone games screwed the game completely.

Hows the lag now? Loved the game but Warden was unplayable and my internet is fine for any other game. Also having to buy inventory space is lame, don't get me wrong i can earn lotro points fast but still annoying grind.

I really wanted to get into this game. Several times. But the Lag is killing my vibe everytime. It is so hard for me to get immersed into laggy games.

Love lotro questing. Love lotro class design. HATE LotRO multi-player aspect dungeons can pair you with a complete new player and someone that is full bis giving the new player(me) a terrible experience Pvp is nonexistent/terrible. Pvp for me is one of if not the major end game activity in mmo since you can only do repetitive pve for so long All in all if you love to run around and enjoy the lore just doing quests LotRO is amazing. If you want a mmo that'll last and keep you entertained outside of questing maybe try something else

what kind of fembois play palia

Recently got back into LOTRO. This game is my go-to when I’m feeling nostalgic as I’ve played this game since alpha testing.

this game needs some pve combat content like coral island and stardew

I played during launch of LOTRO. I remember how many group quests there were and how hard content was. I did try the game again and was disappointed they dumbed down all those hard group quests to be soloable. But that is the fate of a game that has serious population drops over the years.

I'm actually playing lotro right now, I just returned to the game recently I'm like you where I revisit quite often I have been playing wow since 2007 and started first playing Lord of the rings online in 2010. Like you said in the video yes a little bit of it is outdated but there's something that keeps bringing me back to the game, I cannot see the Community just abandoning the Game and moving over to Amazon's Game it's gonna take amazon a long time to develop their game it won't be out for probably another 6 to 8 years at the earliest

I liked this game back in the day. This, regnum, runescape with membership and the wow demo from cataclysm were my teenage yrs. Miss those days, miss the friend i had who introduced me to regnum and lotro. Have no means of contacting him any more.
