Lord of the Rings Online is a game based on the "The Lord of the Rings" authored by J.R.R. Tolkien. The game is not 100% in line with the book. This game is a massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG). In this game you can be an elf, human, dwarf, or hobbit.
When you make your character, you can choose from many classes such as: Burglar, Hunter, Guardian, Champion, Loremaster, Rune-Keeper, Minstrel, Captain, and Warden. Not all classes are available to all races.
This game has a very good storyline, great graphics, and great sound. A lot of the time spent on this game will be spent completing quests and earning gold and items. This game also allows you to have a pet to assist you in battles, to have a house, and to sell items to other players. Another great benefit is that you can form fellowships and kinships which are like guilds or clans. You can raid many different areas with your fellowship/kinship and can complete quests with your fellow kinship members or fellowship members. However, the best thing is that this game is FREE! This game used to be a pay-to-play, but is now free with an option to pay for a membership in order to receive benefits.
NOTE: You do not need to subscribe to have an incredible amount of fun. Subscribing doesn't make much of a difference in this game.
Note: A fellowship consists of up to 8 people and is not a full fledged guild. A full fledged guild would be a kinship and needs at least 8 people to form it.
CONS:
There are no player versus player matches, which mean players cannot fight against each other. Also, there are no evil races available to play as. Lastly, it takes an INCREDIBLY long time to download.
