Lotro, Lord of the rings online.

[Boomb]

I have been playing this fantastic MMORPG for half a year now and I have to say it's the best MMORPG I ever played.
It's based on the lord of the rings trilogy and the hobbit.
At a first look it may look like a WoW duplicate, but if you dive deeper into the game you will see the many things that make the two games unique. One thing I want to point out is the comunity, The players here are a lot more causal than in WoW, the age is in general higher and every one helps each other, no F***ing n00b or STFU n00b here.
I am going to post a few pictures and tell you all some things about this game.
First look at the graphics:

And I are running this game on medium graphics.
It also supports DirectX10 and custom UI's.

Now I'm going to show some points of intrest.

Here is me and my buddy in Bree one of the major towns in the game, the other ones is: Thorin's hall, Michel Delving(Shire) Rivendell and later on Moria.

This is me on my way to Agmar, the realm of the Witch-king.

This is the first major instance: The Great Barrow, and it's crawling with undead barrow wrights and other scary things.

Forochel the frozen land is the home of the elks the saberthoths and some Yetis.

And now for some other random pictures.


Me playing some music with my horn in Shire.(You can use custom music too)
One nice thing about LOTRO is that you can have so called outfits, so you can have the stats of one item and the looks of another!

This is what happens to you when you drink 36 beers(the screen moves too).

And at last from the new expansion: MORIA!!

I don't know what server you were playing on...

And probably alliance, but I don't see people going STFU noob while i'm on WoW.

Damn I love the LOTR universe and I love WoW, and this seems to be a WoW clone, so I think I'd love this game.

To bad that they seem to quit with the 14 days trail now when Mines of Moria is released.

EDIT:You can always try the UK version, I think it works(I could play the US version)
Try LOTRO

I played the trial and it was like I expected, WoW set in the LotR universe.

I'd play if the subscription fee was smaller but I'm not quitting WoW.
