Lord of the Rings Online.....free and awesome! [View all]

Steam has it for download and so does Turbine (the maker) Loving it so far, about a week in.


If you use Turbine make sure you say you have a account and go to the download page and select the "PC Download" NOT the "PC play instantly", 'cause that one downloads the 1st map and says you can "play while the rest downloads in the background"...not, the download hogs all the bandwidth and the game will be very laggy. (12 gig download)

But once it's installed it is wow!

The graphics are outstanding, this is a ingame screenshot of me headed into the Lonely Lands, that's Weathertop in the distance where Frodo got stabbed by the Nazgul.
