It's awesome! It was just tooooo expensive for me... I am pumped! Hit me up Clutchfans maybe we can go questing I am starting up a new character now!
If it's like the pay'd version. I played that back when it was in beta testing. It was fun. I just stopped playing it only because I am against having to pay monthly for a game. (anti xbox live....mmorpg fees...etc.)
Definetly. I wonder if my old account still exists....I couldn't use my user name....which I seriously doubt someone else has. If they do...wow. Let me know your name...and I'll add you when I have it running. 3hrs left on the download....10,448MB LOL.
Haha yeah mine is taking a while to, but I should be on in the next 15 minutes. I think I might have some old stuff on there, but I am just going to start fresh. Hobbits, Elves, Dwarves or Men?
do we have to choose a server? Make sure you choose a good one...and let us know which one. I'll have to look at it to decide which race. I feel like a nerd.
Never tried it, but will check it out, thanks. Only at 550 KB/s One indirect benefit of paid-to-play is a better overall gameplay environment.
Ya, I'm only getting 580-790Kbps....bah. True. But I just can't justify paying a monthly fee that ends up making 1 game cost potentially over $100.
I have the discs and this is taking forever to download... About a million updates... I am starting to get a bit worried about what is "Free" exactly... "Join the world's greatest fellowship of players in the award-winning online re-creation of J. R. R. Tolkien's legendary Middle-earth.

And for a monthly fee, LOTRO's VIP program offers the best value and the most options for players who like the convenience of having unlimited access to all of LOTRO's game content and features." I bought the game a couple years ago, and played it for a month. Am I a premium player? http://www.lotro.com/free.php
it's free but there's some sort of cash shop feature, certain things are only available through the cash shop. fairly standard stuff.
I'm Premium because I paid 20 bucks for the game a while back... Basically, the further you get, you might have to pay to unlock later quests in new areas. It's still a great deal. It says that you can actually build up points and get this stuff without spending a dime, but it would take some MMO style grinding...
Who is down to go kill a million boars in the forest, than have a drink in the prancing pony? Spoiler But seriously...
