Being a fan of JRR Tolkien's for a long time, having read all his works, and now getting to play a MMORPG, an online game based on his works, it's totally amazing. I gota thank my friend James for letting me into this world, now not only i have read about Middle-Earth, I'm now part of it!
It all started a few days ago,I was checking my emails at work and received an email from my friend, stating Lord of the Ring Online Buddy Key( i had no idea what was it at that time, but the name caught my attention anyways), so i opened up and saw a jumbled up code, and thought it was a some sort of jigsaw puzzle! Lol, had to call up James to ask him what the heck was it. Getting to know that it was a access code for a Lord of the Ring Online game excited me alot, so I popped over his place over work to check it out.
Being a World of Warcraft(WoW) player myself, the interface seemed very similiar to it, sharing almost all the same hotkeys and layouts, getting to know the game was easy as I observed James playing it. Besides it being based on Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, what striked me the most was the graphics for the game, it was great. Unlike the cartoonish WoW, Lord of the Rings were more detailed and more to realism. The character detail was great as well, I noticed how intricate and outlandish the costume were, and to watch the character in action killing mobs was even bettter!.
I signed up my account on the spot and got the program from James. After a quick installation and a considerable amount of patching( it took quite long, but nonetheless, the wait was worth it), I got into the game immediately, being the impatient person that I always am. A quick google from the net brought me loads of information on this game, i read up on the classes available, and finally found the perfect one for me --- Dwarf Champion. Dwarf being the sturdy ones with high melee damage, i chose the Champion, as my WoW character was also a similiar class, an Arms Fury Orc Warrior.
Coming from the Blue Moutains, my Dwarf Champion, Glonir came from the Blue Mountains, with a gaze of steel and thick brown beard, he is the true representative of Thorin's people. Being more interested in the evil side, I was looking forward to the Uruk-hai, the Haradrim or maybe even Golbins but unfortunately, they did not have any, as there were only Men, Dwarves, Elves and Hobbits to choose from. The thought of working for Sauron with the Nazgul would be fun.
Eventually, Glonir stepped into the realm of Middle Earth, and the adventures begin...
