Lord of the Rings Online is One of the Best Games I've Ever Played, Even in 2024. Here's Why... 

they kinda did, game looks good, some stuff still dated but overall is very good, the new stuff it top quality

Thank you. Glad you liked it!

Bro just say you want a new game lmao (Amazon is supposedly developing a new lotr mmo as we speak)

​@@mvmusic8467I don't think that's it though. What makes this game great is what's under the hood, but the pain job is what sells!

I would say you can hold off the sub if you are playing on live servers and want to continue on your old character. However if you want to start from level 1 again, I recommend to join progression or "legendary" server. They are subscription only, but the level cap is only at 50 and is expected to be raised to level 60 in early December. This makes it easier to get to raid content without having to level all the way to the 150 level cap. And the world is smaller so you'll find more player characters running around the world, grouping up with each other, making the game world feel more alive.

I agree that the UI is more imperative to update than the graphics. I'm a new player and that's my biggest wish. They say they are going to update it but it's probably going to take a bit of time

@@noahg5998I wonder how it’ll take that long if there’s literal hobby modders doing wow addons or Skyrim mods regularly without a problem

@@Shadaaala The computer code is a lot more cluttered on Lotro than WOW, which has led to a lot of seemingly simple issues become more complex to fix . That's what I've heard anyhow.

I disagree, but to everyone their opinions 😊

My last comment never showed up, which was annoying as I put a bit of thought in to it, but it was probably because I put a link in the comment to a site where you can change the UI to your liking. But that said, I also talked about the love the Devs put in to this game, certainly not a cash grab ! The music in some parts of the game is arguably better than Howard Shore's score of the movies, and the love the devs put in to the game really does show, and has done since 2007. They are a small team these days, and have done amazing things with an old engine. Also the quests aren't a joke, they are very tailored and if you read them all they are contributing to a huge story (not the main epic), and lots of thought has gone in to them. For example, you make a decision at one point which has ramifications (sometimes months later when you are playing), to a character and if they are still around or not (no more spoilers from me).

​@@VirtualPasts I saw your comment like half an hour ago. Maybe you accidentally deleted it? :( It was longer than the one you typed now! But I appreciate your honesty and each their own, agree. To some redeeming opinion, I really like the music in the game that's true, it's the same feeling as playing Elder Scrolls Oblivion and hear that pilgrim tune playing when you scour the fields of Cyrodiil. Nostalgic and sometimes gives me goosebumps again. Even though I didn't play LotR online a lot, I appreciate the lore and work into it. Even though the gameplay was kinda stale. Thanks for your comment.

@@Scythra Good you saw my original comment, it never showed up for me as soon as I posted it, but who knows why, RU-vid can be strange :) Also agree about Elder Scrolls ! Amazing soundtrack which really completes the game !
