You need to be level 45+ to really go to the expansion area, anyway. I played for about a month and then I purchased the big expansion for the game, Mines of Moria. Sure, you can level a little bit faster or you can fast-travel to distant lands a bit more easily, but it's not like the free players are at a huge disadvantage. And the stuff you spend the points on does not really imbalance the game. So I could avoid a monthly fee altogether and just throw a couple of bucks at it if there's something I want, or I could earn it by playing. You can also _earn_ points without paying real money for them, just by playing the game. These things include additional content, quests and such, items, and lots of other 'little' things that can make things more convenient and/or fun.īut the beauty of it is - you don't need to purchase _anything_ from the store to play through the main quest line, or to go to any area in the game except the major expansons. Yes, I admit it is very commercialized because there is a 'store' built right into the game, and you can purchase points to buy things in-game. It is a very high-quality game and very fun to play. I joined LotRO a few months ago because it was free to play, and I quickly became hooked. I used to play Ultima Online, first as a free 1-month trial and then on free unoffical servers many years ago. I had never previously paid any money to play an MMO before LotRO.
