Started my journey through Middle-earth on July 23rd 2007 (I remember because I started a summer job back then on the same day).

11 years... I had just finished school and prepared to go to...

I think the Grey Mountains are a good way to got after Northern Mirkwood was introduced... jumping back and forth from North to South isn't that great imho.

I hope the new area will indeed be...

Thank you, too.

After all it was a very good idea to just ask for help in the channel.

A very nice player forged me a First Ager and most of the ingredients ontop of it.

I forgot how helpful...

Thanks so much!

Wow, wasn't expecting such a full answer so quickly. Thank you very much.

And you are even on my server :) Would you mind if I contact you in-game some time soon regarding a SA LI? I still have...

Dear fellow-Captains,

I have recently returned to the game after a 4.5 year hiatus (originally started playing with Evendim in 2007).


I am in sincere need of some help as I approach level 100...

I have come back to LotRo after a almost 4.5 year hiatus.

I started playing with Evendim in 2007 and always came back after a while for the experience the game provides in bringing Middle-earth to...

I was never able to get myself trying for a First Ager in the first place.

It hurts almost to see what opportunity was lost with the Legendary Items system...

I would love to work steadily for...

Well, you are right about 100% private homes. But quest-givers could be inside of homes, or send us there etc.

Same goes for the towers - it would be very easy to open them up for our characters...

Hey everyone,


I am one of the players who return to the game very year once or twice for a couple of months since 2007 because - despite the shortcomings of the game - Middle-earth simply calls...

After I stopped playing LotRO shortly before christmas 2012 (after having played through a lot of RoR) I was always hoping something will get me back... I somehow want to like playing the game again....

The thing is that a lot of players who always defended the game and always stuck with it for whatever reason (Tolkien, lore, whatever) seem to start getting "nervous" as well. Like me.

I do not...

This thread, whats the point?

This post made this thread worth of its existence at least. *rep





$100? Are you serious? I wonder why they don't ask you to become a stakeholder.

I find it interesting that so many found SW to be immersive when it comes to the lore of the movies.

I found TOR to be quite lacking of the Star Wars feeling that games like KotOR or JK were able...

Well, a lot of people complained about MC and warbands to be not challenging enough. I guess now the other crowd is going to complain....

RoR is in a way like a long-time partner that you fall in love with again.


As a lore and ME freak, RoR also beats Moria for me, as it has much denser Tolkien-moments (and a lot of the good on...

I actually like that I have to walk around in the town... feels so much more natural.

Besides the biggies that we all want, I am longing - ever since I started playing LotRO in July 2007 - for Ithilien.

The RP story of my character Arannir is that his family originally comes from...

I certainly agree that it is no metropolis. I guess the only thing in Arda that comes close to a Metropolis would be Gondolin wit the vale around. Maybe in the Fourth Age, if both MT and Osgiliath...

No, I actually agree with you that the West was in a bad condition at the time of the books and Middle-Earth in general, is - of course - very lightly populated.

I also doubt it has much to do...

I think it is both considered a city and a kingdom in itself. I would say it is more of a complex of mining and living areas that form something similar to a city-state.

Yes, but this does not change the fact that MT was still a city... and a major one compared to places like Bree or Edoras. Especially since, as Pippin observes, a lot of buildings were left and...

I guess in terms of a "good" city when it comes to playing a game, you are correct.

I just think that a lot of people here are willing to have all those things further apart or "hidden" in some...

This is not really accurate. Minas Morgul and Minas Tirith were originally fortresses but both, especially Minas Tirith developed into major cities of Gondor.

MT certainly, since it became...
