The Lord of the Rings Online
 

Does anyone play LOTRO? I was thinking of trying the free trial, but I can't find out where to sign up for a trial account on the site.:sadmh9: If you play it, post here if it is a good game and maybe where I can find the trial sign up!

sorry I don't play it but I hope you enjoy if you do.

I hope it is a good game. I mostly want to try it because I just recently decided to watch some of the LOTR movies, and they are outstanding! Plus it has gotten very good reviews, and there was also a new updated area, the Mines of Moria from The Fellowship of the Ring, added to the game. Can't wait 'til I start the trial.

Egads..I luv those movies but I can't get addicted to another on-line game...lol

lol Lizzy that would make 3 addictions for ya......POTCO, LOTR, and RUM!

Yeppers...S.O.S!!!!! I think I need help...lol

:buds: nah that wouldn't make ya the special :beer: addicted pirate that we all know and love (maybe pushing it there :laughks2:)

but back on topic......if it looks like something your into you should try it, Eric.

i would play more online games except that there aren't that many and good mac friendly games.

I do think it looks like a game I'd enjoy, but I don't know if I'd be able to leave 'me buds here at POTCO. I just got settled on POF!

Too bad the free trials are closed. Quoted from the site data base:

Question/Topic


Is there a free trial for LOTRO?

Answer/Article

LOTRO's Free Trial program is temporarily closed and will reopen soon after the Mines of Moria, the first expansion for LOTRO, launches.

Free Trials are back up.

I agree.....I wouldn't have the time between POF and POTC Online (Test included) to squeeze in anything else in. I've played Ultima, WOW and EQ online at one point or another....but POTC has been my one and only since August 2008. Oh....almost forgot I have to leave time for the real world as well......lol


:buds:

Haha yep, the online gaming community isn't very Mac-friendly. Oh well. I'm good with POTCO. :)

Greetings Eric,

Well,.. my Daughter (mid teens- middle Daughter) left POTCO 7 months ago to play LOTRO..
she loves it... (grrr)
She is a Elvin hunter, level 31,.. (she's describing it to me to write this) she says there's much fellowship work,.. many quests, huge world, many option.... (wait,.. brb.... I need to smack her around for leaving my guild and letting her little lvl 22 Pirate just sit...)(..hehe)...ok...back...
anyways,.. She says it's the best,.. she loves the game and has many friends there... (snif-snif).... (wipes Daddy tear from eyes).. she loves it... and get's updates all the stinking time,.. and ( must pause while Bawling me eye out)............. and... sniff...sniff.. .That's all I can manage now ... I need to go whine to my wife..!

It has its good and bad side just like any other game. I have a few maxed out characters there, but haven't been back on it for a while now. There were some unique items and a trading system. You can make your own equipment, and if max, you can make some of the best stuff around. Trading in the auction system many times would pull in big coin.

If you get in a good group, there are several quests that takes a group to do, or items that can be received. One person gets, and can be a problem. Lag and issues I found in these to be a few problems.

Didn't like a few special critters spawned in a certain few spots, to receive a item used to have the critical success in making armor/ weapons. Ended up camped critters.

How it has changed not sure, but did have its fun sides. Riding a horse, and getting like three different specialized horse's etc.

Wow, im about a year late on this one but i thought i'd just say........ I LOVE PvMP!!!!!!!!! that is my life, for the 10 days i played :P
