Lord of the Rings Online

I created a Lord of the Rings Online (LotRO for short) this morning after letting it download the 10 GB client last night. So far I've reached level 11 with my Champion class human.

For being free to play (partly) it's honestly pretty good. A friend of mine gave me a spare CD key when the game first came out so that we might play together, but I quickly lost interest within the first few levels. As per my last post (if you've been able to keep up with my breakneck blogging) I've been searching for something to play.

"So," I asked myself, "Why not play something that's free?" To which I replied, "That's great, self! Have a pat on the back!" (As an aside, I did not actually have a conversation with myself. Only crazy people do that... right?)

Free is good. Especially when you are studying English, taking extra classes, and making (in round terms) nothing in the way of income.  


It's a somewhat pretty game, with all the graphics cranked right up.

I will keep soldiering on in my journey. It's too bad you have to pay in order to play a monster, as I do so love being the bad guy. Who knows, maybe I will even start/join a Fellowship! Though sometimes I do wonder why I even bother to play MMOs, as I try to stay away from other people and certainly don't enjoy grouping with them.

One thing to leave you with (they should let me do those commercials, just look how sexy I am).

Hello ladies. I'm on a horse.
