Lord of the Rings Online ties in the fun of a hack'n'slash game like Diablo II or Torchlight II and enters it into the Massively Multiplayer Realm.
The character creation of this game is limited and therefore does not play as much as a role as in other games, ie. Skyrim or DC Universe. Once your character has been created you play through your character's Introduction, differing depending on your Character's race; Human, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling. These generally take half an hour. The game, as with all role-playing games, takes a while for the game to really get going. The game gives you a nice mix of errands to run and enemies to slay, so that you are not just running from person A to person B delivering notes as it is so often with RPGs.
The game being Free-to-Play has the option to simply buy equipment with real money. However, this is by no means a necessity for game play.
As the game is an MMORPG it is a more fulfilling experience when played with a friend.
Overall, the game is fun and definitely worth a test play.
in a saturated gaming world how do you decide what to play, and why? what is gaming? how do age and the different stages of life influence those choices? if a game attracts me it has 20 minutes to convince me, otherwise : deleted. an investigation into these thoughts by a group of people, different ages, stages in life, relationship to gaming, different hardware, different backgrounds even different languages.
