I'm a bit behind in that (again), only finished Yondershire region about a month ago, so now got 4 regions I've not started. 16 years, its a heck of a lot of content, I started playing it just after the Steam release, over 10 years ago.

I'm a founder and started playing during beta. I only drop in and out of it occasionally now so I'm also way behind but I always enjoy it when I do play, though the mid-air direction change still strikes me as one of the most ridiculous things that are still there.

I can think of some things more ridiculous than that, the chicken run to Mount Doom is one of the memorable ones. Well I suppose they did prove it was possible!
LOTRO Chicken run. All the way to Mount Doom!
We were already in Bree when the stream started, but this is the bulk of the run. Congrats to everyone that made the journey and thanks to everyone that help...

Also, the Tolkien Professor is playing a very slow game - he started about 8 years ago, and I've just had a look to see how far he is up to now, and has recently got to Minas Tirith - at the rate he is going Gondor alone looks like it could take over 2 years (he started that phase in October 2021); Rohan took him 89 play sessions. The gap between where he is in the game and the end may still be the same as it was 8 years ago. Still, its nice the devs built a lecture theatre for him in Bree; the only game I know of where anything like that has ever happened.

I remember doing the chicken run though it was way before Mount Doom, so we only did it from the Shire to Rivendell IIRCI can think of some things more ridiculous than that, the chicken run to Mount Doom is one of the memorable ones. Well I suppose they did prove it was possible!

Ended up watching part of one of the Professor's videos - it makes you appreciate how much effort has gone into the details of the game. The bit I watched included the statues of the Kings and Stewards in Minas Tirith - think he is going to explore the pubs as well [its also the only game I know of with a pub crawl in it, that mainly in the Shire]. Just like the old days when I used to watch the early streams, then he really got excited by the architecture in and around Bree.

Just bumping this seeing as its been released for a couple of months
Anyone else bought it?
Finding it pretty good fun, and going slow on purpose to drag it out.
But Moria and Dwarves were always my fav place and race in Middle Earth.
