My Geek Notes

So, a few days ago I was helping my in-laws tow an R.V. that my father gave to them when I ran into an old friend of mine. After a brief bit o’ chit chat, he informed me that Lord of the Rings online was in open beta and that he found the game to be quite enjoyable. After we got home I started downloading the beta and went to bed, I think I dreamt about a cup of water all night - best dream I’ve ever had.

When I woke up in the morning the download was finished and ready to install (fast forward). After installation I created a character (A Lore-Master “Man”) and began my journey in middle earth. The game mechanics are a lot like World of Warcraft, which doesn’t bother me since I love WoW. The skill system is a bit different where in you develop many of your stats and skills based on deeds and quests etc. (I am still new so I don’t know how everything works yet).

Overall I have found the game to be quite enjoyable, the graphics are well done and the game-play is very enjoyable. Check out their site and see what you think of it http://www.lotro.com/
