Hi all !

I know this game is a lot related to the story. But is there activities like world bosses, events or other that pop in map ?

There is no fast travel ? Because if not i will more live this game (i dont like fast travel it ruines experience…)

Thanks !!

Have just bought all expansions through the black friday deal and just loged in to check if everything is there. Now my Valars, crafting storage and all other rewards are stuck in this random server with random char - and I wanted to play Legendaries

Now I know there is a small font saying about it but it’s so annoying that anything can’t be transferred between servers.

Maybe there is something I can do?

Hi friends! New to the game and debating between starting a Hunter or Lore Master as my first character.

Which would you recommend and why? Thanks!

i thought those 2 new servers were not suppose to have any type of lag/crash issues...

Hello fellows, I'm returning after few years and I'm looking to restart from the beginning as many things has changed. I played in crickhollow but now I'm trying to discover what is the most populated/active server, especially for low level content. I've seen many people talking about the legacy server Angmar but unfortunately I don't have a vip to play there I'll be glad with your answers, thanks

Edited to add some infos I play from Brazil i think the timezone here is UTC/GMT -3 The habitual time i can log in is around 8PM 9PM RP i guess the meaning is role play, i never played like that but sure i can be part of a story

So I‘ve read a lot about the problems players are having with Lags. I‘m lvl 23 now and spent almost all my time in Breeland and in Ered Luin and experienced almost no lags. Will this change in other locations?

So, today after god knows how many years in this game, that you can sort your Characters out on the log in screen. There is a Arrow under where it says "page 1/#" that you can click and give your the options to sort by name (either a-z or z-a) level (min to max or max to min) last login or class (a-z or z-a)

ive noticed some players in game claim to be a ring bearer and are needced when fighting one of the nine. how does one get a ring like this?

Hey guys, hello, when I watch youtube videos, I see different panels in the game interface. For example, the panel on the left that shows the end of the buff times. Can you help me where I can open it? And can you write important panels like this?

Hi all

I’m a new player, I’m currently running guardian. Only level 7. Wow what a stunning game; as a LOTR fan it’s almost a crime I’ve slept on this for so long.

I do have some MMORPG experience but I wanted to ask:

How crucial are professions? Is it a must? Is it just more of a money maker?

There’s a ton of side quests, should I focus on these or mainly on main story quest? Will I be over levelled or under levelled as a result?

I’ve noted you get lots of expansions free if you’re just simply VIP, is this worth investing into?

Thanks a lot, see you in middle earth

Hello everyone! I started LOTRO back in the closed beta days in late '06-early '07. I quit the game before Moria came out and returned years and years later in 2016. I've played a lot of it from '16 til '18.
My question is basically.... is the legacy server(Angmar in my case) worth joining as an old school player ONE DAY before Moria launches? Will a kinship accept me this late before the next expansion? Lol I intend on taking my time and absorbing the lore just like I did back in the day.
Also as an aside, are the 64 bit servers better than the others in terms of lag? The server lag eventually made the game unplayable which is why I didn't want to continue playing.
Thanks in advance, see y'all in Middle Earth!

Hello I’m an old player from back when this game had a paid sub and back when Moria was new. I haven’t played lotro in a very long time and would like to attempt to get back into it.

However none of the people I played with back in the day are interested. I don’t care what server I level on I just wanna group of people who I can play through the game with.

I’m available most days after 5pm PST

With the launch of Moria coming up tomorrow on Angmar and Mordor, I'm wondering how they're going to handle crafting for tier 6. I remember unlocking tier 6 crafting, but do they still do that? I can't find anything online, and I'd like to make sure I'm ready when it launches.

Anyone experiencing issues with starting a game right now? Right now, the launcher took like 40 minutes to finally get to the login stage, and now that I have finally logged in, the game is stuck on "loading character data" for quite some time. The loading character data part usually lasts less than a minute for me. This is on Evernight.

Does anybody else get filled with anger and disgust every time you're forced to enter session play? Who's idea was this, anyway? And why is it only some parts of the different storylines?

I get wanting to tell parts of the story from some other point of view than what your character can witness, but some of the choices made are just bad. Then most of your involvement in session play has absolutely nothing to do with progressing the plot.

For example, I just recently (again) went through the whole Amarthiel storyline and there's a session play to witness the interrogation of Laerdan. That scene takes about 2 minutes. The other 12 minutes (I roughly timed it) you're in session play is running around from floor to floor of the keep/castle killing bugs and waking up Orcs. WTF does that have to do with the plot? Why the fuck and I running around squishing slugs and kicking Orcs when the point of the activity is plot progression?

I've played this game on and off for 15 or 16 years and this is really the only part of the game that I don't like. I genuinely hate it. It's not going away, and I'm not going to stop playing over it, so I'm just venting. Mostly because I'm about to go do the Mines of Moria/Balrog session as it's standing in my way of progressing that chapter of the Epic.

Is there anyone out there that likes it?

Since we know it’s the 4th at which time will the mines open? Is there any information about this?

Greetings, everyone.

I've started playing LOTRO with my friends, but we can't play together that often, so, I was thinking of creating an alt character to support my main (and maybe my other comrades).

My main is Yellow RK for now, but I think I'll go into Blue RK once we'll get past the early leveling stage.
I also have Scholar-Jeweller-Prospector professions for my main, since these professions seem to be the most useful, as well as relatively lore-accurate for the RK.

Thus, my thoughts so far are towards:

1. Someone with Farmer profession, at least (to sustain my main's Scholar one)
2. Someone more economy or utility-based (to sustain our group's needs for resources)

I may be missing some details or straight-up get some stuff wrong, but I hope you will understand my thought process and show me the right direction.
In general, I just want to help my main and group with some utility/economy, or in some other ways I may be missing.
Thank you in advance.
PS: In case that matters, I'm strictly F2P.

I only play Will classes (RK, LM, Mini) because my eyesight struggles with the melee classes. I can just about get by on a hunter.

There have been a few new classes that are melee.

What new distance classes would you like to see?

There could be some kind of potion based class, along the lines of lobbing a Molotov cocktail at the enemy, think Sticky Gourd but for every skill. Throw a poison potion, or a slowing one. Steal a couple of skills from Diablo, throw a jar filled with spiders! I feel like Radagast would have a jar of spiders laying around.

I've only ever played LOTRO and Diablo MMO so don't have much reference for distance based classes, necromancer wouldn't work in LOTRO as a player class.

My normal and default UI settings is the top image. It's what I started with and never changed it. However today, I load in and it's the bottom image. I don't know why or how to fix it. The settings still register everything as being the default UI sizes. How do I get the UI settings back to what's shown in the top image?

hello fellow middle earth adventurers! i was just looking to pick all your brains on laptops that can run this game smoothly (i dont need it to look fancy). im just wanting something portable to allow me to journey through middle earth whilst on the go, and i obviously cant take my desktop pc. any opinions or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

A level 150 red Minstrel. This is a 3 minute fight with a training dummy. Those numbers should be higher... right?
