MMORPG writer Phil James has hit the wall with his old MMO favorites, WoW and EQII. It's time, he has determined to go back and revisit one of the countless number of MMOs that he's tried and discarded after the month trial is over. In his quest to find something to fill his time, Phil has reacquainted himself with Lord of the Rings Online. Find out if Phil's return to Middle Earth is more engaging, more fun, more -everything- than the last time he played.
The first game I thought of coming back to was Lord of the Rings Online. While I didn't play it for long, I do have very fond memories of it. Before I first played, I had been reading the books, so I rolled a hobbit to adventure in all the places in the Shire I had been reading about. I wasn't disappointed, I loved delivering pies around the villages of Hobbiton, Tuckborough, and Little Delvin. I made a point of looking for the Party Tree as soon as I got into the main world. The sights and sounds of the game did a great job of conjuring up the feelings I got from reading the books.
