Lord Of the Rings Online

It has come time for me to move into I would say one of the largest markets gaming has to offer. The amount of weight I have gained playing MMO's is probably 20 % of my life time weight gain. Sitting on my ass and farming in game supplies is just some how appealing. And for people who read my other blog who saw the maple story post, that is not an MMO thats a GMMO ( Gay MMO ) And if you gay rights advocates come out of the wood works saying I can't call it gay, then get a fucking life. ( Freedom of Speech I'll say what ever the fuck I want )


IT'S FREE!
That's right people, LOTRO is completely free to play. There are countless reasons to get Premium, and probably VIP, but F2P ( Free to play ) is fine with me. You unlock turbine points ( Currency used in the LOTRO store. Purchased with real money.  ) as you unlock deeds. Deeds can be killing 100 spiders, or just not dieing until level 10. I got my riding skill without spending a dollar and it felt great. The game has a good vibe to it, not to mention it's beautiful. The creators really went into detail in making sure the world was accurate. YOU CAN'T WALK INTO MORDOR! 

My favorite part of the game is the touches of originality. Unlike most MMO's out in the market today that some what remind you of games past, LOTRO has kept things very lord of the ringsy. A nice touch since I loved the books and movies. The Game is taking place during the movies and if you play as a hobbit you actually run into Frodo and Sam before the embark on walking into Mordor... Wait a minute.

If you have some free time, and want to really jump into the MMO games, I would suggest LOTRO. It is one of the top on the market, from the graphics and the player base, which is probably growing now that it's free. The game is very fun, and the quests follow a web of events, which is very entertaining and makes questing a whole bunch easier if you pay attention to what the quest giver is saying.

Aside from the mounts being 500 Silver, and I needing to now farm a shit load of Copper and Tin to just sell off, it grabs your attention. I'm only level 15 but I'm having a lot more fun then any other MMO.
( I take that back, WAR ( Warhammer ) was a lot more fun until I hit the dead zones. )
