Just started playing for the first time this month and i'm very impressed about how the game lore works and the maps. Funny story: i'm a diehard Tolkien fan and addicted to MMORPG games since i was 9, and have never tried LOTRO before. I wish i've had gave a chance sooner, but i'm having a great time by now!
Started playing on the Angmar Legendary server (for the first time) a week or so ago. After getting past the initial janky feel of the UI I am 110% hooked. The world is expansive and immersive, many times I have found myself taking a moment to enjoy the scenery which is something I did not expect in a technically and graphically dated game. Community has been amazing, and with the new Legendary server I am avoiding that "will never catch up" feeling....which is key for me as I want to explore and see it all. With a bit of nostalgia flowing and a whole new world in a setting I love...I haven't enjoyed a game like this/in this way since original Everquest or WoW.
I feel the same, the Graphics themselves are outdated, but the Art-direction of Lotro is so good and detailed that I also find myself enjoying my time looking around a lot more...and it's incredibly charming.
I loved everything about this video. It was fantastic from start to finish. I've been playing LOTR since I was born. Honestly, I must say that it,s better than any other game i've ever experienced with all of my friends and chrildens :) It’s been a magical journey through Middle-earth, filled with unforgettable quests and amazing friends. Can’t imagine my life without it-every moment in this game feels like home! 🏰💚
Gollum! Downloading the game right now. Tried it like one time like over 10 years ago, but it didn't quite capture me, but going to try it again because of your video :).
@@RangerHaz I'm 29 now, but tried the game when I was a kid. Young me didn't have the patience for tab-targeted combat, I preferred action combat, or at least something more responsive and engaging (to me). Now that I'm older, I can really appreciate a well crafted world and have the patience and interest to discover the intricacies of a tab-target system (played runescape A LOT in my early 20's :p). I love the Lord of the Rings movies, and although the extensive lore behind it can be quite overwhelming, your video gave me the idea to give it a deep dive, together with playing this game :).
A good time to start Lotro in order for someone to get in touch with the "real" Tolkien's work, especially after the severe bruises it got by the trilogy / Hobbit and the complete butchering by the Rings of Power. A tip: if you decide to play and have Corsair's icue on, DISABLE is asap..!
I actually have been experimenting with controller settings for my video footage - it's quite possible to set up and play if you are determined enough I think. At least combat / travelling / questing part is 100% doable.
Been playing exclusively on steam deck. Around 30 hours in now. I’ve got a really good setup, and I’m pretty happy. Sometimes slightly clanky, but nothing deal breaker

It's a really fun game to experience and it's full of respectful Tolkien Lore and atmosphere, with so many great people to meet.
Gollum! Thank you for the review, downloading the game now to give it a shot. Wish me luck on my first outing into Middle-Earth!
Awesome! Hope you will enjoy it and don't hesitate to ask questions here or google them if anything feels daunting!

Thank you, that does mean a lot to me - can I ask what kept you away before? Maybe a new player myself, I can share my experience to help you!

@@DTSbeats I see! With that mindset, you should be set for a grand journey. Older mmo combat systems can be very chill aswell if one appreciates it.
Gollum!
Lotro is an amazing MMO. Been playing since 2011. Glad you're enjoying it.

Nice video, and welcome to Lotro!

Thank you!
I have and I loved it as a surprise, in a certain tutorial ^^
gollum ! Great videos, it is gonna be hard to resist playing again haha
It's a great time to jump back in on the fresh servers!

Oh is iCue causing issues for the game? If so, thank you for the notice
@@RangerHaz Yes, I doscovered it accidentally through trial and error, it severely impacts the performance.
Ive played LOTRO 3 times over the past 15 years. Loved it every time, but always lose interest in the 20-30 level range :/
Is there any particular reason you lose interest? Maybe it's better now or someone can give advice here!
Lotr steamdeck sounds interesting to me
