Posted Tue, Mar 10, 2009 by Dalmarus

The development team at Turbine has adhered to one very important aspect of game making with Lord of the Rings Online whether they realize it or not. Details, details, details. This week, Dalmarus finds himself scouring the halls of Thorin and braving the depths of Silver Deep Mine in his search for riches and glory. There may have been some mention to him about stopping Sauron and saving the world, but who knows? Read on to find out what currently has him so impressed!

Sure some of the other races can play the class as well, but honestly, they're nothing but posers no matter how they try to argue it. Dwarves are the caretakers and shapers of the earth itself, so if I had to play a good guy, there was no way I could go with someone that was short-lived (weak humans), frilly (yeah, that's you elves), and weighs less than fifty pounds soaking wet (start bulking up hobbits!).

I must admit that I've often thought about trying LotRO. The Hobbit, and Tolkein's other books, introduced me to the whole "fantasy" fiction genre. Still, the very limited PvP options and the inability to be an Orc has kept me from trying it out. However, I hear it keeps getting better with age so I "might" cave in one of these days and pick it up.

You can be an orc in monster play. You can also be a worg and a spider.

I saw that on the box when I picked it up, but I haven't figured it out yet. Any hints, Kitsunegirl?

I know you may not have it in you, but you need to roll a hobbit and do the starter quests series till it drops you off to the shire. Its one of the best starting places in the whole game with eye candy to boot.

Don't make me play a hobbit, please, LOL. Why's it the best though?
