Hello,

Another returning player here. I bought this game with a collectors edition box called Shadow of Angmar. A long time ago now. I didn't stick with it, sadly. Moved to console games. But I kept up my reading of Tolkein and the general love of LOTR.

Anyway, roll on what seems like a lifetime, and we've recently bought a laptop coinciding with a re read of the Silmarillion.

I really want to dive back in. The game is installing as I type (from work).

I've tried to keep up with the multitude of returning players' posts and keep seeing legendary server bandied about. What is the difference here, though?

I intend to come back F2P (for now). Does this affect server options? Is either legendary or normal recommended?

I've gathered that the community is excellent, and the game is a nice slow pace to enjoy Middle Earth.

But I'd appreciate some advice to just get started. Once I'm in, I'll be fine exploring. But I just want to enter the game in a positive way.

On a side note. I already downloaded the game through Steam, but it wouldn't play. It's now installing from the lotro website.

Any suggestions here?

Thanks for any and all comments and advice. See (some of) you in game with luck!

EDIT advice on an active F2P server please? The text cuts off, so it's hard to be sure. EU, active, but PVE over RP, I'd say.

😁

How to get this thing working on linux? Was able to run it few yesrs ago without any tweaking, now it's stuck at openAL32.dll. i tried both lutris and steam.

Alright as the title says I’m currently in the works of starting this. I have narrowed it down to two classes. The Loremaster or the Hunter. I know the hunter gets travel skills and campfires and the loremaster just had its rework.

I enjoy the gameplay of both of these classes but in the long run not sure which would be the wiser choice. If anyone could help with this troublesome decision I have I’d appreciate it!

Hey guys I’m just a bit lost here.

I’m currently level 50 about to be 51 and still yet to do the angmar instances and raids. I already got my LI and such. I want to start working on Moria but I been working on the book 11 quests. Like I said earlier I want to go into Moria as lvl 51. Do I need to finish the book quest? How important is it if I skip it? I don’t want to but I don’t wanna be too over level for Moria and I would like to get out of that cave asap lol. Would there be an epic quest in Moria? Or do I need to keep on progressing with this book 11?

Wanted to roll me up a High Elf and after the new update they don't get the cool looking flavored armor in the beginning anymore?! What happened

Just finished Umbar-mokh and Tales of the Kindred yesterday and I just began Legacy of Morgoth, reaching Telperion's Wall. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised and it made my opinion of Umbar Baharbel and its inhabitants much better.

While I have adored Umbar design wise since Day 1, I felt that something was missing storywise. It felt too clean, too goody-two-shoes, everyone was kind, honorable and respectful. I couldn't shake off this feeling since the moment I saw Umbari people trading food in Gondor, months after the end of the war.

Needless to say, I was kind of bummed, as I thought the premise was decent but the execution lackluster.

The introduction of Umbar-mokh, Umbar's shady undercity helped me alleviate those issues. Apart from being excellent in terms of worldbuilding, one of my personally favourite underground places (especially the Crypts and the Vaults), it gave Umbar the darkness it needed: Smugglers, cultists, gladiator revolutionaries, black markets and a network of spies. It made me feel that there's darkness under all that glittery atmosphere of Umbar.

The Tales of the Kindred helped a lot with their characterization. Apart from, and that's a hard maybe, Belondor, no-one is to be trusted 100%, no-one is to be fully believed. These guys are willing and are able to do the dirty work in order to further their goals.

Nowadays, I believe that people saying that we should get King's Gondor as quest packs and Umbar alone are absolutely right, as we got the worst of two worlds. We didn't do much in Gondor (the Castamir supporters' plot line ended on a whimper, as we could see much more of Tumuldo) and we didn't have time to absorb both the celebrations and the mournings of post war and Umbar felt unfinished.

Here's hoping that LoM will continue strong!

Hi all. I'm thinking of returning after a decade or so, and I would love a run down of notable changes/updates.

I last played in max level Mirkwood as a Hunter main, and did a fair amount of skirmishes/instances.

I am also one of the lucky members that snagged a lifetime Mines of Moria subscription back in 2008-ish, so if that's been accruing tokens (forget the name of them), will that help in my return?

My biggest nostalgia piece with the game is the absolutely awesome community. Miss you all!

Hello everyone,

I never played LOTRO and see I missed the launch of the legendary server. Would it still be possible for me to play and have a decent share of content before the Moria expansion releases? I read that people were especially advising Legendary server if one had not so much time on their hands to play.

Asking that because I would be pretty sad to start too late and keep lagging behind and not being able to properly enjoy the content

Does it take about as long to get from level 40 to level 50 as it does to get from level 1 to level 40?

My champion reached level 40 on Angmar yesterday after starting on 10/27. My leveling path has been fairly conventional, consisting of primarily questing, crafting, and some monster farming/deeding. I’ve noticed leveling taking longer as I progress however I am curious how long the push from 40 to 50 will take as I want to be at 50 before Moria release.

Hi everyone,

I realized that since a few days, the lotroclient64.exe is still active in the task manager and consuming a lot of resources, even hours after I closed it. This wasn't happening before. How can I stop that ?

THanks by advance for your help.

Hi all,

Trying to start a character on Mordor so that I can enjoy the game progressively. I've tried about twenty times today to enable the subscription, but I'm constantly met with a 'purchase not completed' message and back to square one.

I've put a request in with Standing Stone but no response currently.

Anyone else had this issue / can point me in the right direction?

Cheers!

Hello all,

So I have had a pretty extensive history playing MMORPGs but LOTRO was never on the radar.

I’ve played RuneScape for 21 years. I played World of Warcraft from probably 15 years. I played EVE Online for 10 years.

It’s only now I’m in my mid-30s and really falling in love with everything Tolkien gifted us that I’m just bathing in all there is on offer, and as a gamer, LOTRO is on my radar now.

I’m curious how in compares to World of Warcraft not necessarily in design, graphics or content as such, but the flow of the game, the levelling experience (WoW seems to mostly begin at max level), how much there is to keep a daily player occupied, what structure and activities exist for guilds/clans, what long-term goals exist in the game, e.g., mounts, gear, achievements, bosses etc.

I live in England but would happily play on NA servers if that’s where the highest activity is.

Thank you so much!

Ok so imagine you've got 2 friends that want to play Lotro with you start to finish.

You're a 3 person team going through every area right til the end.

What's your team made up of?

For me it'd be:

1. Rune Keeper for the heals and DPS.
2. Hunter for the DPS, travel and tracking.
3. this is the one I can't settle on, sometimes I think a mini for heals later in the game but good DPS until then. But I also think the team needs a tanky type, like a champ.

All theoretical as I could never find 2 people to agree to play with all the way through 🤣🤣.

idk what happened, is it just cause I haven't been running him around everywhere for a while? Don't get me wrong I'm something like this in real life but this is supposed to be an epic video game. I'm not sure this is what a hero of middle earth should look like

Recently picked LOTRO back up and used the valar boost for the morgoth expansion on my character. I only have two maxed legendaries (previously level 20). I would like to get more traceries either directly or from ancient scripts.

Is there any way to farm either of these running solo instances or landscape at lower levels? Would prefer to not have to play at level 150 content to obtain it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I had a fun little RP encounter in Annuminas this evening, completely unexpectedly! I saw a Trebble from the Bounders of the Shire kinship with several others, approached by Dronurin, playing a messenger from Imladris, asking for aid stopping the tomb robbers in Ost Heryn from moving further east and possibly discovering Esteldin. The Bounders had other business first, but I decided to jump in and have my brash champ volunteer to scout ahead.

It's not the only time I've run into people playing as Bounders or their companions, but the first time it's been this large of a group. It was fun and very charming. =)
