Game Review: Lord of The Rings Online

There is MUCH to tell about this game. I am doing this review mainly because I want to everyone see how this game is awesome. I started to play it like 2 weeks ago, cause I read on some forum that it is really good, and that we should all stop being .. so addicted to WoW style of MMORPG, and try something new and release that it's not that bad as we think it is. So, I downloaded the client - that was around 11GB = game client + update. When I entered the world of LOTRO, 1st thing I noticed was - crappy interface, or, at least crappy for me. But, awesome, awesome graphics made me stop thinking about that interface that already started to look cooler by each second that passed. Was doing some starting quests that were quite simple and interesting, and then entered the REAL world - world apart from "dungeon" that I was when I entered at 1st. I was truly amazed. Graphics was even better then on the begin, interface already got "under my skin", skills were so nice, playerbase -quite, quite good, and quests even more better then on begin. I decided to continue playing, and I was happy each day I played it. One thing I should NOT forget - LOTRO have THE BEST water effects I EVER experienced! Pay attention twice to that.
But, everything has it's bad side, right? This game too... It is free to play, but, 2 areas, crucial for leveling, are closed for F2P players, and it need to be bought by some points, that you can buy by real-life money OR by completing Deeds within the game. Anyway, my personal score for this game is 9 from 10. Level cap is 65 with those expansions, there are quite few classes to try, profession system is just so unique, kinship system also, house system, and much, much more.
Trust me on this one - go ahead and try this game, you will only enjoy in it. Also, let me say - this game CAN be """completed""" by not spending a cent for it.. if you are hard-worker. :) Here are some graphics requirements for this game.
