Description

The Lord of the Rings Online is an MMORPG developed by Turbine, Inc.

###Plot The events of the game take place at the same time as the original novels. Time flows differently in each region of Middle-earth, but it does not differ much.

Each story arc resembles a different part of the plot and is distributed as DLC. In the first part, the players have to fight a fake king of Angmar. After that, the players set out to help the gnomes with freeing Moria from the Darkness. In the King's Allies add-on, the player goes south with Aragorn. The last expansion pack called The Strength of Sauron allows the players to visit Gondor.

###Gameplay The player firstly creates their own character. Five races are available for the players. Each race has its own advantages and disadvantages, so choose wisely. Nine classes are present in the game. Each of them drastically affects the gameplay.

Leveling the character up does not differ much from the other MMORPGs. The players explore the world, kill monsters, complete quests. There is an immense number of quests present in the game. The players gain the majority of experience from them.

The game features a craftsmanship system. There are seven crafts present in the game, each of which has three professions to choose from.

The game features only one hobby to take part in, and it is fishing. It is possible to fish in any water body. The fish can be eaten or placed as a trophy in the player's house.
