The Moon Monster posted:Everything I've heard about that game lately makes it sound like it's dying/dead. Now I'm kind of sad I never gave it a try because a well done Middle Earth with have been pretty cool. 2015, feature wise at least, has been good to the game. We got a new region with new dungeons, nice QOL updates keep coming in, the new legendary system is more like what it should have been when Moria launched, and there's even new PvMP coming later. The big thing is server transfers later this year - they're finally reducing servers and merging, and it'll breathe some life back into it. Several goons are waiting until this to check out the new content the past year. LOTRO is waaaaaay past its hayday though, no doubt, but still wanted to give credit where it's due. Supposedly Turbine has the license until 2017, and they're currently bee-lining to Mordor. We all kinda expect after that, the game might shut down, but as Brave New World said - the game is an excellent representation of Middle Earth and if you dig on Tolkien at all, you should definitely join in on this single player MMO while you can and see a bit of the world. You can play until level 20-30 or so without dropping a dime to see if you want to put some cash into it for later content zones.

Extra posted:Can you no longer do things like Great Barrow, Garth Agarwen, Rift, Helegrod, the Mines of Moria instances, etc? LoTRO is (was?) to me the pinnacle of well done traditional open world MMO if you have a few people to go exploring with and do all the dungeon content at a casual pace. The game is just so chock full of interesting instanced content plus a neat main story arc. Nah, all the old content is still there. Many of them scale up (unfortunately, the moria dungeons don't, pretty sure). But they quit doing any NEW classic-style raids, and no new dungeon instances for years until this latest content patch. Instead we got Epic/Big Battles which was the new group content, which had mixed reception (although the Pelagrir BB 6/12 man seems to have went over a lot better).
