So I never actually played this game. But I love LOTR and I think I remember my friends playing it years ago. Is it worth giving a try? How much does it cost though. I think i never played it because it wasn't free. Can someone tell me the basics?
I know this post is a bit old but for anyone that comes across it in the future. LOTRO is a very solid F2P MMO, it's worth the investment in the game if you're looking for something to sink a lot of time into. More so if you like the LOTR series itself, the world is really well done and all of the ingame features make it a roleplay haven. The graphics are a little dated but its still a good game, it is somewhat a long level grind however.
Have you watched the films and read the books? If so, then you should also play the game. It's not expensive, it costs about 16$ dollars on Amazon, here; http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00026ENLE/ref=dp_olp_0?ie=UTF8&condition=all If you prefer you can also download it for free of uTorrents, which is somehow more risky though.
