Laurelin, you will always be my best community experience ever.

special for special needs people for sure

The game feels very bare bones..I tried it to support the devs. I dont think it's gonna go very well for them on steam release. I fear they might get review bombed.

Been like 7 + years since i played this......if i pay my accounts again and play, ill reck alot of peoples time and fun lmao.

I play FFXIV now, but I started on EQ in 1999. I also played dozens of other MMOs but EQ does something other do not, and that working towards a goal. For example, epic weapons. When you do things it has meaning in EQ. This is something other MMOs are missing.

Ughhh what a beautiful memories❤ I've stopped playing conquer online in 2012, does anyone has an altetnative MMO that a previous Conquer player liked or deserve to be played an spending my time on??

Such a beautiful and well-loved game, let it live forever

The absolutely best review/summary of Anarchy Online out there. You where able to capture the history, the game and the current state. Hats of to you!

Aye it's a wonderful mmo with actual role play! The devs have great love and respect for Tolkien, the attention to detail is great even in small Shire quests. Although some features and stories are lorebreaking for gameplay's sake. Many more servers will go 64-bit this year.

As someone who things swg was one of their favorite games. We cant say shit. Our game is dead and gone and has been for yeeeears

To those who complain about visuals, LOTRO still looks decent when you ReShade it, and fancy visuals never made meh games any better nor do not so fancy ones make a good game bad. Get your priorities right. Every bit of work that goes into graphics doesn't go into mechanics, and those are what matters the most. At least LOTRO has it's own visual identity, something "modern MMOs" don't have, with their blurry HD and visual clutter devoid of any personality.

The graphics in my 4070 looks really bad i dont know why

I have played it years ago, and get the lifetime memberships. Logged in yesterday for the firat time after i think 10 years or so to look after my chars 😄 So much changed.

A fitting and comprehensive tribute to a game I thoroughly enjoyed in ways that are now unique in the genre. Well done! There were itches though that, for me, it could never scratch. The people however, the community, I'll never forget. It was a good time.

But ddo isn’t available on consoles

great video, nice to see someone making content for wakfu.

The jumpscare I got after not seeing the AI filter on your face. Couldn't get past the uncanny valley and how your mouth and eyes dart around while you're talking from the obvious filter you've applied to your commentary clips inbetween gameplay

Been playing on and off for about five years now and I've been in love. I just yesterday actually figured out organically how the legendary items work and it added a whole new layer to the game

bro 20 min into video you havent mentioned first important thing in any rpg....combat. its beyond broken. character movement is glitchy at best, they glide on the surfaces no friction between character feet and surfaced they walk. EVERY part of combat is flashy overly graphical with no actual impact in the damage you do. this game is for the people which are banned from any other competitive games where they cant fathom how to do a simple action yet dance and do emotes dress up etc. i love world of lord of the rings but this game is utter travesty to this name.

I played in 2007/8. I was on the Laurelin server and became an officer in the Baruk Khazad (RP) Kin. I played a LOT during thise early years, and have drifted away since - alrhough I do tend to put in a few hours every year or so. LOTRO has, by far, the best community. It does not have a large player base, but the folks who play are extremely helpful and kind. The one thing you notice is that players will watch you in combat, taking time out of questing to ensure that you win your fight etc. Its a very small thing, but speaks to the strength of the community.

I love that your character isn't the "Main Character" in Lotro! You're there to help in the fight against the darkness, but it doesn't rewrite or lessen any of the actions of the Fellowship. If anything this game highlights the actions of all the other players in the war against Sauron. Absolutely love it! I got back into the game 3 years ago after I stopped playing it in 2012 to focus on SWTOR. Lotro has kept true to itself all along, and Its awe inspiring. The community is epic! And my main character still hasn't reached level 70 yet! I've been having so much fun.

I used to play this game. I remember running around smashing things with a mace on a cleric, sword on a paladin, and spells as a wizard. I liked how varied the dungeons were at first. As you went, you ended up feeling like you were repeating yourself. I quit around level 6 because I got bored with it. I have recently picked up Lord of the Rings Online, and that feels more fun to me.

lotro world is just different, it hits differents, it feels big, it feels immersive, as an mmo world should be, and i love it!

If they made a LOTRO 2 I would consider playing it.

13:28 is that a smoke alarm battery beep in the background?

I did not realize that you were the Hero in World of Warcraft

still very good

I miss the time on morthond

I think you missed the mark with Jeets a bit haha. He gives you a “free” weapon. That he stole. From the airship crash 🙃

I used to play AO like 20 years ago and loved it for many years. One of the most fun experiences I had was in an Omni city where a scheduled "in character" event was happening. An admin of some sort was leading some players around, and I forget the exact nature of it all, but he slowly approached me and we went back and forth a bit with in-character dialogue cheering on Omni and decrying the Clans. Might sound trivial, but I really enjoyed the depth and engagement!

It's wild how complicated things can get-and that's just the base game! Shadowlands took it to a whole new level of chaos. But if you thought Anarchy Online was confusing, Asheron's Call was on an entirely different plane. It was challenging overall, and its character system could permanently ruin your build if you didn't allocate skill points carefully. I'll never forget when I was ported to Ayan Baqur and instantly started getting one shot by everything. To this day, I still hate the Shadows in that game! What kept me hooked, though, was the storytelling. Turbine, the developers, weren't afraid to shake things up and make permanent changes to the game world as part of their monthly story updates. One of my most jaw-dropping moments happened a few months after launch during an update called Darkness Ascendant. Rumors started flying around the community that massive Shadow Spires had destroyed significant cities. At first, I thought it was just trolling, but my allegiance patron (basically the guild leader) told me, "No, seriously. Arwic is gone." I had to see it for myself. When I ported to Arwic, it was completely obliterated-just craters where a bustling city used to be. And this wasn't just any city. Arwic was like Asheron's Call's version of Stormwind or Orgrimmar, where everyone went to trade, group up, or hang out. It was so crowded that it caused "portal storms," which randomly teleported people away when too many players gathered in one spot. There was even a running joke that Turbine nuked Arwic to stop the storms! Another standout memory for me was getting my Atlan Axe. That quest was intense, with so many steps and locations. Thankfully, when I did it, the servers were so active that other players had already cleared most of the mobs. Still, getting my axe skill high enough to meet the requirements took forever. I couldn't hit the alchemy level needed to craft the Quality Pyreal Ingot, so I found a kind player who helped me out-for a decent chunk of gold. Then came the trek to Cater Lake Village-yes, a genuine trek across the land, all while being chased by mobs way higher in level and far more deadly than I was ready for. Once I finally made it there, I bought the Finesse Weapons Glyph and used it to transform my ingot into a Superb Infused Ingot. With that in hand, I returned to the Archmage to trade it for my Atlan Axe! What a journey! But that wasn't the end. I wanted to add significantly more damage via lightning to make it epic, so I went after the Major Sparking Stone. That meant diving into the Amperehelion Vault, a dungeon crawling with level 80-100 mobs. I was only level 55 then, which made it extremely tough, but luckily, higher-level players had cleared most of it when I went in. I was so proud when I finally combined the stone with my axe to create the Peerless Sparking Atlan Axe! I just stood there, showing it off to anyone who'd look. I have so many other memories from Asheron's Call, like when I got my hands on a Hoary Mattekar Robe-one of the most powerful items for spellcasters back then because of its insane stats. The robe became even more valuable when Turbine removed it from the game. They eventually brought it back, but it was heavily nerfed by then. I ended up selling mine on eBay for $250 (that was back when there was no such thing as Bind on Pickup or Bind on Equip! I also remember farming Virindi Masks and selling them for $35 on eBay. I made a lot of money from them. What made Asheron's Call special was the dynamic and unpredictable world. It wasn't just a static backdrop-it evolved in ways that made the story feel alive. That kind of immersion is rare, and it's why the game left such a lasting impression on me. The only game that's ever come close for me is Guild Wars 2. Its Living World story, especially during Season One, had permanent changes that reminded me of Asheron's Call-like the massive spire in Kessex Hills. Even now, you can still see the scars of its destruction. Games like these stick with you because they make the world feel real, like your actions-and the story-truly matter.

I just can’t with the graphics, wish they’d do a big graphical upgrade then I’d join

I was a fan of the books from the age of 10, so when I heard about LotRO I could hardly believe it. The idea of virtually walking around in Tolkien's world was so exciting, and it didn't disappoint. I was smart enough to buy a lifetime subscription when they still offered it, so I've been playing since the beginning. Wardens are awesome, but my favorite class has always been the Hunter.

and once again im in Archet after this video, lets see if the midgewater marshes are still stinki :')

Dude, ive been playing a listening to you. Thank you again for highlighting this server. So much fun and so much engagement! Awesome anyone who loves rp needs to hop in here

I have played LOTRO for more than half my life, and I have not made it to mordor yet 😂😂😂

Is this still rollin? I was on prisoners of the mist for a long time and miss the roleplay

Yea, its especially boring alright. And very finicky and not user friendly. Not a game for noobs, just for older geeks.

I just started playing this game for the first time. I find it very fun to play. I like it.

As a Guild Wars 2 player I should inform you we are NOT all Commanders.... We're also Wayfinders now

Such a great video! 🥹🥹 I love lotro! Been a warden main for many years, and met some of my best friends there! And made some of the best life memories there. <3 I’ve been on a break from lotro since gundabad as work got really busy for me and the friends I’ve been playing with, but I always can’t wait to get back to the game! ❤ Awesome video!

I may just have to dive in once I’m done with classic wow fresh 😁😁

i think it lost out to star wars galaxies back in the day. but the pvp is really good. i think there was a job class called "fixers" who were able to boost your stats so you could wear higher level gear than what you would normally be able to and it was pretty much a requirement if you wanted to play in a party because everyone did it and if you couldn't keep up gear wise you were lacking behind alot so playing in orgs and with people that aid you was pretty much a requirement. it created a sense of community that doesn't exist nowadays. people in general were very generous and helpful though

Stunningly boring. Just spent the last three days giving this game a serious chance. Even bought VIP for one month. But the game is just clunky in every way. Too old school and difficult for new players to get into. The 30 years old maps look awful. Getting around, or trying to use the stables/quick transportation is hard when the names don't correspond to anything on the map. Trying to get into professions is a mess. Chose some forestry and woodworking I thought but had no idea how to find wood for chopping or whatever. Having to google and watch youtube videos for every single little aspect of the game is just not fun. Tedious and boring. Tried to get my 16 year old kid into the game, she gave up after just 30 min. She couldn't understand the quests and how to navigate the zones. Text and font is too small for people who have bad eyesight. Even the font enlarge only works on some parts of the game, so you get a weird mix of large small and tiny fonts. And so on and so on... The game is just too old, not user friendly, not beginner friendly at all.

Can’t really get past graphics for some reason ! And you made the video sounds like it used to be good and alot of nastalgia but no longer !

I just wish they would update the graphics. I feel like if they did than it would allow LOTRO to rival WoW and FFXIV much more.

I don't know anything about LOTRO's lore, should I play it ?

i just need to know if it has world pvp, because if it doesnt i believe that makes it mastertrash

I searched this up hoping JSH did a video on this, but this certainly hit the spot. This game was HUGE for me for jr high until I finished high school. I started somewhere in 2006 or 2007, I believe. My computer started shitting the bed and I couldn't raid as much on WoW and my cousin showed me this game. He was married in the game and she was his online 'girlfriend'. Lol I cant remember what the city was called (the dirt looking one near the apes/snakes?) but they used go have their character models sitting close together and shit whenever they were online. lmao The first time I got a super on the trojan while killing pheasants was such a jawdropping moment for me. I forget our first server but eventually I moved to Turqoise and swapped to Ninja when that came out. I took that class all the way through 1st and 2nd rebirth quests and got the "Top Ninja" banner several times when the class PK tournaments would come up. Doing the 2nd rb quest was such a HUGE accomplishment for me, I still remember the night I did it and had my whole guild in an msn groupchat cheering me on. Used to love hanging out in front of the bird island city gate and watching lowbies pvp each other when they werent getting plvld, hearing the sount of a met dropping and the cool prismatic effect it would have. The mentor system was so cool too and I might've missed that part of the video because I'm typing this but I remember getting my buddy as a mentor while releveling from 1st RB, his name was Danzo. He was a really great guy from Syria. I remember one of the last times we spoke he said he was gonna take a break from playing to join the army, as he just had twin daughters and needed more money to provide for them... unfortunately the syrian civil war started a few months later. I still think about him and hope he's doing well. Danzo, if you see this, I miss you! And cyanosis, if you see this, you're still KoS. 😆
