Get friendy with the community
The community in LOTRO online is currently brimming with players keen to help each other out and embark on the next big adventure. Like any MMORPG its the interaction with the community, the building of fellowships with like-minded players, the thrill of exploration, the achievement of learning a new skill or craft and the development of your character that makes it so rewarding.
Lord of The Rings Online is a rewarding experience, made even more special if you're a fan of the books or movies. It may not satisfy the needs of gamers seeking a deeper MMORPG, but sometimes simplicity just works and LOTRO demonstrates that in abundance.
