[PC] Lord of the Rings Online
« on: September 28, 2010, 04:47:59 PM »
This MMORPG recently became free-to-play. You can download it for free and play it for free. Some extras are locked though and you have to pay to get them. However, it's very cheap and it's possible to play the game without them.

The gameplay is similar to games like World of Warcraft: questing, crafting and raiding. The gameworld is huge, looks nice and is fun to travel in. Video of a dungeon run

The reason I'm posting this is because me and Mr_Dark play it pretty often for some nice entertainment. We will start a guild soon and it would be nice to have members that are also involved with Pokemon Universe! So yeah, totally join us there. We play on the US server Vilya (so EU players; be sure to download the US client if you want to play with us!).

Oh god, the combat noises... I'd have to turn those off. I think I would cry in a raid situation like that. Way too much side noise for my liking. Otherwise, it seems like a decent game. I'll have to look more into it. Honestly, I've been playing games like WoW and FFXI for so long, I might have higher expectations than I should.

So, we'll see.

You don't have to know anything about LOTRO. It's just a LOTRO themed MMO :)

I used to play this game..
I wasn't fond of it at the time, but I suppose if you let me in your guild maybe I could get into it, who knows.

You must relearn it! Be sure to make your character in Vilya and we can help you out :D

I am curious...

I would like to know what else there is to do in the game aside from fighting?

I get tired of doing the same old thing just running around and beating on things. If there's more to do, I'll give it a go!

You can also craft. E.g. cooking food, farming ingredients, forging weapons etc. It's a nice way to make some coin.

I think it should install right now, I don't know why it didn't before but oh well. I think it will be cool to play a game with some people from PU.

I'm going to Download this to play with you guys.

Ill probably try to name my char something like my username here to avoid confusion.

Maybe Silvar? Silvder? Silvolas? Silvmli? Silvagorn? Silron? I doubt Silver hasn't been taken.....
The thrill in playing a game does not come from our chances of winning. It is the weight and pressure of losing that fuels our fascination. It is why people challenge, why they gamble and why they compete. The adrenaline that comes from defying defeat is what motivates us.

Okay, I'm having a problem.

I created my character, did the beginning quests
but when I'm supposed to follow that dude outside it messes up
I go through the door, and the loading screen comes up,
then it just like, crashes

Anyone know what the problem is?

My computer can run World of Warcraft just fine, so I don't think it's my computer..
