Hello Lotro community,

Ive been playing LOTRO for almost 5 years, and its a great game - I firmly believe that such. I would also like to add that I do think that VIP is worth upgrading to those in a better position than myself, whether that be financially or the time they can play the game.

My experience, however, has not been that of a regular player you would expect would be if someone has played a gsme for five years. And in saying that, I must disclaim: I have not put any money into LOTRO at all. Whether that be TP or expansions, no money has been spent on this game. The game Ive been playing ever since level 35 of my character has been cramming in quests from every region from every corner and grinding for hours. I must also confirm that level 40 is (at least in my experience) is the maxium level someone can get with this type of play. The only experience I've had with later game content is with playing on the beta servers and going through every nook and cranny to find everything and see the coolest sights.

The problem im facing now is that im not sure whether Lotro is worth paying for in my situation, especially with having to crunch money irl, I dont think ill be able to add anyother thing I have to pay for. So besides the regular answer of "its your choice", what kind of benefits do I get if I decide to become a VIP, as I might consider it sometime in the future.

Thanks in advance,
linis
