In The Lord of the Rings Online™, join the world’s greatest fellowship of players in the award-winning online re-creation of J. R. R. Tolkien’s legendary Middle-earth. From the crumbling, shadowed ruins of Weathertop to the ageless, golden wood of Lothlórien, immerse yourself in Middle-earth as you have never seen it before. Visit the peaceful, verdant fields of the Shire, brave the dark depths of the Mines of Moria, and raise a pint at the Prancing Pony in Bree!
The fact this game exists is a GD miracle. Sure it's aged at this point and that can be felt pretty obviously in the avatars and NPC's but the environments can be breath taking. The fact that this adaptation stayed faithful to the books and didn't go overboard on the magic is a major factor that has helped lead to its longevity. It has so many whales that continue to come back because it is BY FAR the closest thing we have to taking a stroll in middle earth. You can start this game in Hobbiton and stroll right on up and walk into Mordor, beyond and everything in between. you can battle wargs atop your steed in the fields of Rohan or help guard the borders of the woodland realm in Mirkwood, or get lost exploring the depths of Moria. The stories are phenomenal and lend themselves to the source material incredibly well. They're intricately woven in seamlessly whenever they expound on ideas.
One of the best MMOS with a good community and smart developers
