I would have loved a breakdown like this when I was first getting started with LOTRO back in the day. Well done! The perks you went through are definitely worth it, and I share your sentiment about supporting the game and the developers. Some people forget they need to make a living too lol.
This was my thinking behind the video as I never really found stuff like this when I started! (Not saying there isn’t guides out there, but nothing apparent!) Yes! SSG deserve to be rewarded for the world they continue to provide for us!
Coming at you live from Brum, West Midlands! Thank you for your excellent vid. You've inspired me to jump on LOTRO Have a wonderful day, and may your belly be filled with hearty meals!
The big advantage of premium over FTP is that you get access to Swift Travel from Stable Masters. FTP players only get Swift Travel from Stable Masters to and from the starter zones. Any char you play under VIP and then drop down to Premium, those chars get to keep Swift Travel for every zone.
I've been playing off and on since game release. Only once did I not pay for a sub and it was over a span of 2 months. I wasn't really having a good time in Rohan content, but decided I could continue to give it a shot for free. I don't mind paying for the new legendary server if it means I get to maybe get to some of this content with everyone else since Rohan was dead by the time I got to it. At that time though you could spend Destiny points on some items without being VIP.
The chat restrictions are only for characters that are new and low-level; it's a measure to reduce spam. Once you get to a certain level or a certain play time, you have full chat access as a free player. I don't remember those thresholds, but I believe the level threshold is less than 20 and the time threshold I wanna say is no more than like a week or something.
Im only level 64 and the last expansion I bought was Moria. Im leveling so slow because I dont play enough is there a reason to pay for VIP since Ill be going into expansion territory soon I think. ALso Id love to level faster. If I can get to end game id playeveryday but stuck in Mirkwood isnt doing it for me lol
ahh so maybe wait until level 95 to sub? As of niow I guess from subbing in the past Ive been able to do every quest except I couldnt finish one of my book stories in Morder without being subbed
I am on the legendary server largely for the 64 bit. I am not really liking being constantly chased by wraiths. Also, end game being level 50 versus 150 is also a drawback.
Do you play on steam? You can actually access shop better if you remove from steam and download client from their website. Im from sweden and couldnt buy vip on steam but it worked with stand alone launcher.
@@fangent4781 I'm in Sweden as well and can't pay for VIP even from the normal client. Any tips for how you fixed it? Was hoping to play the legendary servers but they've totally boxed me out here
Did they ever fix the god awful UI scaling? Do they still think everyones playing at 720p or some shit? was a damn joke last time I tried to return and walked away baffled. Edit; just installed it for the first time in years. Absolutely pathetic rofl. UI scale is there now. Wow bravo guys. Now how about text size?? Now way to make teeny tiny text at 4k larger?? All the UI elements that you CAN change look low res and zoomed in, and certain things are not changeable and stay tiny. This game is garbage hahaha. I'm legit shocked and insulted.

Thanks mate. Any news on UI Update for 4K?
Totally worth it for the vip server alone 😊
Could not agree more!
@@deployablelover if you cancel do you still get to play on them ?
I really dont feel like starting over on legendary servers
ahh so maybe wait until level 95 to sub? As of niow I guess from subbing in the past Ive been able to do every quest except I couldnt finish one of my book stories in Morder without being subbed
The new servers are probably worth 15 dollars a month on their own.
I absolutely agree! Well said!

@rattiegirl5 Yes that's quite a drawback. Especially the level cap. However, I still it's worth to play without lag.
Subcription to LOTRO is not the answer. Subcription to LOTROis the question.
And the answer is yes.
@@HeroCodilla-tk7um I could not have put it any more beautifully!
So no dlc? You have to buy them all? There are so many..
I wish they would let people from Ukraine sub. As of now there's no option.
Wait is this actually a thing? No way that’s so strange!
