Summary : Just keeps getting better
I haven't seen a review of this game lately so for anyone that might be wondering, I'm happy to report that Lord of the Rings Online is alive and well and it just keeps getting BETTER! I'm not a LOTRO fanboy but I did come into this game with a love of the Lord of the Rings books and movies. I've played a number of MMOs including the wildly popular and massively populated WOW but I want to reassure anyone who might be on the fence about whether or not to try LOTRO to "come on in" the water is fine. In fact, graphically and storywise everything in this Tolkien inspired world is fine. The folks at Turbine have worked very hard both technically and creatively to make your stay in Middle Earth an exciting and rewarding experience. When you purchase the Mines of Moria Collectors Edition you are getting the original game Shadows of Angmar, the Mines of Moria expansion, and a number of extras including a cloth map of Middle Earth, 3 helpful in-game items, and a soundtrack CD. The price of admission for this opportunity to experience first hand the hills and dales of the Shire and all of Middle Earth is a pittance. Really, unbelievably cheap for a Collector's Edition box game. Buy 2! Then you need only add the recently released award winning Siege of Mirkwood expansion to bring your game experience up to date. Be ye a quester, jester, crafter, or bard there is something in this game for just about everyone to love and best of all Turbine continues to supply LOTRO players with new and tasty content. For those who care about the longevity of their MMOs I believe LOTRO has long legs with a long and exciting road ahead. Another plus to consider when choosing this MMO is the LOTRO players themselves. I've found them to be quite a friendly and helpful fellowship of hobbits, elves, dwarves and humans. A couple of things to keep in mind if you are thinking about playing this game. There is a downloadable 10 day free trial available on the LOTRO website so you can try before you buy. Also, the game world is large and quite visually stunning which requires some computing horsepower to run at its highest settings. LOTRO was made to run on a host of differently configured PCs so for the best look and playabilty you will want to tweek the game's graphics settings to your own tastes. One last thought, if you do play LOTRO and fall in love with the game like I did, Turbine offers a lifetime subscription option. Take that Blizzard!

Summary : Best expansion ever!
This by far is best expansion of LOTRO. The game is fast - paced and doesn't leave you hunting around to form groups to do the quests because most are soloable.
Love the extra content in and out of game. The replica of The One Ring put this over the top.
Blows WOW (World of Warcraft) COMPLETELY away! LOTRO is the clear winner.

Summary : This game...
Yes this game is a great game knowing the excellent price of $10. But the only down side is if you don't have a beastly computer you can't really run this game at good settings. Other than that it is a great game you should try it if you want to do something new.

Summary : The Game's GREAT! But.............
I am a refugee from Lineage II. Loved that game but was more interested in crafting and questing and it just didn't offer enough of that. Then my Fiance introduced me to LOTRO.........can I say WOW! It's beautiful, detailed, and FULL of non-stop quests for every level character! Plus....I am in crafting HEAVEN! The Lord of the Rings story is by far my favorite, along with The Hobbit, so, needless to say, this new world is a welcome escape for me.
Now for the but......In the Collector's Edition box you get several free items to make the role-playing experience even better. It includes 2 maps - one is a poster, of Middle Earth, and the other is cloth. I was expecting a wonderfully realistic cloth map of Middle Earth, with great details, etc. However, what I got was a map of the Moria area, not very detailed or collector item worthy. Was very disappointed with it. The other items include: "The Ring" - gold-toned, chain included, fairly realistic, inside a small black velvet pouch; a Music & Art Collection book, with cd and pictures - small, hard back, pretty cool; a Starter Guide - small, paper back, and a MUST for the first-timers; the actual game download cd's - 2 discs sturdily incased in a cd sized set of sleeves; a poster of Conquer The World Beneath - approximately 13" x 30" in size, featuring a very large Balrog with a tiny back view of Gandalph making his stand against the monster, very colorful and detailed; your Product Key with 3 Buddy Keys - so your friends can try it for 14 days free; a Quick Reference Card - a guide to all the keyboard and mouse commands; and finally, it all comes in a sturdy, texturized box to keep all your goodies together.
Please, whomever put this collector box together, REDO the cloth map!! Make it of all Middle Earth with more detail and more realistic of a map from Middle Earth. Then send them out to all of us who purchased the box.
Thanks all for enduring my long review. It was a pretty satisfying buy on the whole. So if you don't mind a mediocre cloth map, and especially if you've never played the game, BUY IT!

Summary : LotRO: MoM is an Overpriced Bugfest
The game lacks creativity and new art.
The developers, if there are any anymore, do very little if anything. Spring, Summer and Fall of 09 had almost NO content. They are advertising the release of their next zone on the rings journey to Mt Doom, Mirkwood. These zones were supposed to be FREE, now they charge subscribers for em and sell them like expansions. One reason to avoid it. The other, and vastly more important reason is...
There is this new command they slipped into their product this summer on the down low, as a way to help people who couldn't run windowed or task out. Its called /browse. Sony the makers of many dead and old MMOs did the exact same thing during the Hoth rollout. This /browse command will become a micro credit credit card web transaction site, just like SOE's games. They will get the subscriber with a monthly fee, a fee to purchase instances, and gear. Its a definate profit change, for them. If they can keep their subscription base.
I would avoid getting addicted to this Overpriced Bugfest, or you may find yourself HAVING to purchase their good gear to compete online in later levels and later quests, instead of questing for good gear. Turbinen is forcing us to play an asian MMO in English, another words. Over there its no big thing to pay for pixels and miniscule items. Not the same in the west.
Turbine is also the maker DDO. At the sametime they turned DDO into a micro credit card transaction game, they put the /browse command in LotRO. I quit because I fear they will make LotRO F2P with micro credit card transactions. They haven't owned up to it, anywhere to my knowledge. But I can see it coming. After putting almost 8months of flight time on all my LotRO:MoM toons combined and often playing late into the night with bloodshot eyes. It pains me to have had to quit. But I won't miss MMOing in a world that makes me BUY gear on a confusing popup site with my CC. I left SWG:Hoth when they tried to sell me the chance to buy a Hoth snowspeeders, purchasing pixels twice is bad. That was a bungled mess over there.
My advice, avoid Sony MMOs and now add Turbine MMOs to that list. The Turbine developer likes Microtransactions. Microtransactions are often refered to as the the asian MMO model of selling you competitive good gear and quest time, instead of letting you roam free and find the best stuff out of their loot-a-matic. Ordinary play is free in the asian model, but the free areas and interactions are dull on the senses, eyesores instead of eyecandy.
If ya want to aspire to become a second class virtual citizen with a bad RL credit record prepurchase Mirkwood. I know I didn't, I'm staying away from MMOs until they settle down into somekind of respectful game genre. Its anyones idea what you get in these boxes. Conan was so laggy, I couldn't even keep logged in.
