  • Lothlorien in Ultra High definition... That's the best thing I've ever seen on a game.

    Also, that bridge that connects The Great Delving in Moria with the Silvertine Lodes, with the purple crystals and the giant statues carved in stone... breath-taking.

  • Blizzard and activision can go fuck themselves,Turbine and Codemasters gave us this clearly superior game! but even though its my favorite mmorpg so far,i still think TOR will be a better game,but thats mostly cuz i am a star wars fan,fully voice acted and such stuff that bioware managed to add

  • On long journey's I love to zoom the camera right in so It feel's like i'm rely there :) The scenery in LOTRO is just amazing! The graphic's team are legend's :P

  • too boring,where is diablo 3 ????

  • i love this game! i hope the world was like this. beer pint mugs and stoned houses!

  • Still is pretty to see.  I love the north downs. :P

  • i do have too say this game does look great. but some games look alot better. also if you look closly at the detail on npc's they don't look very good. also somethimes there are places that look nicer then others. and the waterfalls could be done alot better. last thing is that i spotted some things that were misplaced and unfinished. (like floating stuff and things put in places they don't belong.) just giving you a heads up the graphics are ageing!

  • The last 10000 views are mine :D

  • Dude rapids at 5:14 look like ass. no offence but they need imroved. hopefully turbine will get my message telling them what too improve!

  • @BlackPhenix69 You got me wrong, pal. I said that mst of the ppl I met had obviously not read the books AND that there wasn't much RP going on. I didn't say anything about one meaning the other. That was your assumption alone. And I don't care what you think about roleplayers. I'm sure that at least one of your hobbies would seem weird to me.

  • Now that this game is free to play I will be getting this game right after I get my new PC I am very excited it looks visually stunning and the story will be great

  • Im a really big fan of the Lord of the rings and this game is so realistic that even you can imagine some things actually be like in real life serously! if you watch this and then watch on wows graphic it is really bad if you compare it with lotro it is true=D

  • So is this the original LotRO (Shadows of Angmar) or an expansion?

  • @KimboRamboFin Pretty sure this is just about when The Mines of Moria launched.

  • does this download take for ever for anyone else mine is still at 0....please message it to me thank you

  • I only played a trial of lotro but it had by far the nicest players in any online game I've played. I hope that being f2p doesn't effect the playerbase too much..

    That being said I have tried some free asian mmos and the players are no worse than in WoW.

  • amazing vid m8..music to match as well.i think that in some respects f2p will help the game..it seems to be helping in the states..goin f2p is a great advertisement for the game as well..it may also attract the peeps you dont want as well.so i suppose you have to try to balance it. this game should run til 2017 as well , thats how long they hold the licence for.

  • this video would look INCREDIBLE

    if you actually had it running on top graphics

  • @AlexRider001 These are the top graphics minus DX10 because of the limitations of my old PC. If you want DX10 watch my second Lotro Amazing Scenery vid.

  • @AlexRider001 There's actually not as much difference between DX9 and DX10 at the end of the day, bar a few minor graphical effects.

    If you've ever seen Crysis running at full whack (Full graphics can be forced, minus a few minor effects under DX9 on Windows XP) you'd know what I mean.

    An upgrade to DX11 (which I hear Turbine are working on) could really make a difference in the graphical quality as far as textures go. Just go and find the Nvidia "Island" demo on here to see what I mean.

  • I am a wow player and have been playing it for 3 years. Im starting to get really sick of it and im on the search for new mmo's i tried aion and i loved it but I just felt it was way to grindy. For lotro... are there lots of quests, instances, and pvp to do? Is it full of content? because i love the whole storyline of lord of the rings. Used to be a real lotr fanatic a few years back.

  • @Epicz300 yes, yes and yes

    although the pvp is only in one region

    but the atmosphere is incredible

    and the community is great, which is a big plus compared to wow -.-

    it IS full of content :P

  • Sure looks nice without all those pesky players running around. I really wanted to give it a long-term try, but I quit after running into too many ppl who just didn't care about roleplaying or who obviously hadn't read any Tolkien before.

  • @didikaramba Holy crap you quit cause there were no RP'ers? seriously?, the MMO gaming community as a whole is the biggest bunch of sorry little whiners I have ever seen or heard of. No offence dude but not everyone likes to RP, i dont care if others do it, be my guest, but i think its wierd and don't like it. Also, just cause ppl don't RP don't mean they haven't read LOTR's or The Hobbit, nice assumption you have there, really smart and well thought out....jeeze.

  • It looks so empty. No mobs or almost no players ..

  • @Pompelipom33 there are a TON of mobs and the amount of players really depends on the time of day...also this is low level zones which have been kind of empty for awhile....you start seeing a lot more people the higher up you get

  • @Pompelipom33 I take that back, he has some high end zones in here but there are people playing...just go to the 21st Hall after work hours ;)

  • Free to play? Is it that bad.

  • thanks god companies begin to understand that Free to Play is the future for MMOs...

  • @PsyMike3d I respectfully disagree :)

    Though that's why I'm quitting and others are starting it up, one crazy cycle

  • @Mrmarshmelloman Question. Why are you quitting because you no longer have to pay anymore.. Are they making the game worse or something? If they are then i agree with you. I'm prepared to pay for subscription for a good game, i'd prefer it actually. But if it's still the same but they're just taking away the subscription then I am confused. :S

  • @Epicz300 I'm on the fence about the situation. Like I said before those less fortunate and not able to play these types of games deserve to be able to get a chance to play, and its not that I'm worried about. What I'm worried about is the mass amount of people without any sense of maturity being able to play because of the mere fact that its free and anyone can just jump in and play.Not only that but since Warner Brothers claimed Turbine things have only been going down hill..

  • @Mrmarshmelloman Dude. 'Those less fortunate' have much bigger fish to fry than getting a chance to play a freakin online game. 'Those less fortunate' don't have PCs with enough capability to run the game, nor do they have high-speed internet. Those who have gaming setups and DSL could hardly be described as such. Is life THAT easy in your world? Like Obama asked the poor folks at the black church: Have you seen the price of arugula lately?

  • @24brotha Thanks for pissin in the punch buddy. Times are hard, yes, and believe it or not these kind of games can seriously help depression and such related issues, I've come in contact with plenty of those kind of people. When I say those less fortunate I'm not referring to the mass amount of homeless people, and those who can barely scrape by for a meal in the world.  You need to get your priories straight cause I meant no offense. That's all I'm gonna say, thanks for your wonderful comment.

  • Already Lotro is soon going to be offering a Cash shop where players can spend real money for in game items, and personally, that's the last straw for me when it comes to playing lotro. It's all just a bummer, being that lotro is pretty much my favorite MMO.

  • Very nice job -- yes, it is indeed a beautiful game, and you've capture it well. Thank you!

  • This video drws you in cant stop it from when you start it B)

  • i miss this game. best mmo, ever.

  • Very nice video! What program do you use to capture the game world? Thus far I've only used screenshots. Thanks for sharing Middle Earth in LotRO with us. Namarie & Safe travels :-)

  • @mysticmage111 I used fraps to record everything in the video :)

    Thanks for watching! :D

  • nice video......LOTRO is the best game I ever played. I hope that one day I will be walking in the Middle Earth again.

  • do a lot of people still play this game ?

  • @jonkind Yep

  • @jonkind I think about 300k

  • @jonkind sadly no..

  • Planning a burg on Landroval. Downloading the game right now. Funny because as I decided after going through the website, I found your videos. Maybe I'll see you. =)

  • haha, for sure man.. Just send Shuyinn a tell :D

  • I love this game, it's by far the best MMO I've ever played, maybe even game altogether. The in-game community is by far better than any others I've ever encountered. By the way, can some of you post your screen names in a comment, or something. I'll friend you, and help you level.

  • My main is Shuyinn ~ 60 burg on Landroval.

    I quit about 6 months ago but I think I'll be coming back in the next week or so haha

  • @IHaveBigFeet1 Hey man, what server are you on? i think im going to reconsider playing lotro again but i wanna play with some friends!

  • @IHaveBigFeet1 what server are you on cause i need some help :)

  • Ehh..I've played wow on and off, since the release. WoW get's boring once you've 'experienced' all it has to offer. Nothing is new anymore, and all the new content is ..well...very predictable and even sub-par additions, due to it's large and loyal fan-base.

    It was perfect how it was in original imo. But...there is such a thing as 'way too much' content. And blizzard, sure knows how to copy paste, just with a different name. (sure they make things a littler prettier, but that's about it..)

  • amazing game! Im on Maiar [DE]

    I LOVE it!^^

  • i play this game in 1920:1080 or w/e

    with Dx10 gotta love it

  • yeah duuuuuuuuuuude me too.. I play on my 24' samsung full hd screen & its so fuckin GREAT =D

  • Woooot!

    Widescreen ftw.

  • Gotta love those graphics...

  • good video i liked it!!!

  • this game is awesome and graphics are amazing !!!

    just like i'd imagined it when reading the books!!

    unfortunetely it tends to get a bit boring over time and needs a quite good computer to play it (which ! dont have) :(

  • Really incredible!! it´s the real Middle Earth !! the best game I have ever seen in my life, soon I could be there, walking in the Mines of Moria, and looking the forests of Rivendel :)

  • haha! me to im switching over from wow but im going back to wow in Cataclysm for the Worgen but LOTRO looks like a great game im a big Lord of the rings fan

  • Yeah amazing scenery, but lol your knife starts stabbing your horse at about 6:25

  • Yeah its a special kind of horse bred to withstand and absorb physical attacks much like the nice stabbing you observed in the video.

    Though it wasn't a direct attack, it still shows the great resilience of the horse.

    I hope this was helpful.

  • My PC stinks I can't watch in HD without everything (literally) lagging every 2 seconds

  • even g4 said in one of their mmoreports that mmo fans should start considering lotro as a very good mmo.

  • i dont care what anyone says. LOTRO is the best mmo ever. Graphically BY FAR the best, gameplay also by far the best. Absolutely no gold farmers, a healthy economy, and a community that puts all other mmo's to shame. Not to mention the most epic world ever imagined (Tolkiens middle-earth)

  • LOTRO > EQ2 > WoW > Runescape > Flyff

  • Definitally im switching from wow.... blizzard is really awful they've banned my account over 20 times for no reason kinda tired of paying for that crap.... i chose to download the longer LOTRO trial download for the graphics 45% Atm long wait but surely worth it huh?

  • @Aminefan700 lotro is now free :D

  • @roflDRG Couldn't have said it better myself! This game is truly the closest anyone would ever get to the beautiful fantasy world that Tolkien created.

  • @roflDRG I can't believe I was playing RS, and not this when it become free... >_<

    This game community is far the best yes. The great landscape (you could draw a painting with em!), the story driven driven gameplay, the wonderful music, great graphics. I was speechless when I played.

  • Is this actual in-game footage??? If so, there doesn't seem to be much happening. Is there no NPC roaming middle earth

  • All actual in game footage, there are plenty of NPC's walking around in certain areas of towns, shops etc. But you wont see many walking around the wilderness O_o

  • What Are you using to film this movie ? ^^

  • That was awesome! I plan on starting my ME adventure soon! Thanks for sharing.

  • Whats in your system?

  • My family all tried LOTRO. Four adult males, two females, multiple kids... we just could NOT get into this game depsite the phenomenal grphics. The one common complaint we had - the world seemed lifeless. No birds, animals, NPC inhabitants... or few at best... we got bored. And the communiy was very 'cliquey' so few friendly casual interactions. Great game, great graphics, good crafting - damn boring world.

  • Lol you're whole family plays games?

  • You posted that in another video, too.

  • u r retarded Argordon all those things u just said is wrong

  • Wow. I have no idea what you are talking about.

    One of the things I love about this game over others is the fact that there is so much life going on around you.

    Clearly you did not play this game very long. And the community in Lotro is one of the best communities I have encountered in any MMO I have played. And believe me, I have played a lot.

  • @Argordon ive been playing for more than 2 years and this is the problem i have when i keep coming back. not enough going on (yes everyone wow is way worse) and im just bored to death. I cant spend 15 a month to walk around occasionally.

  • i like this game good graphics

  • Looks all very English and Celtic :P

  • where can u get pre paid cards for this game i cant seem to find them. and will this run on like a 300$ notebook:P

  • I consider to start play this game again. The graphics are truly stunning and the gameplay was decent. Ofcourse there was a lot that could and can be improved, but it was still playable.

    Just ordered a new computer, so ultra graphics incoming!

  • Just beautiful! See you in Middle Earth after Christmas :)

  • ultra high graphics with DX10 are just beautiful! It is worth to get a good PC :D

  • so fuckin breathtaking pictures..

    what a scenic landscape!

    wish I could play it on ultra-high =(

    GREAT vid man keep it up! 5*

  • dead balrog is in Zirak-Zigil on the way to Hall of Mirrors instance. You can take a ride from Stone hall,north of 21st hall :)

  • where can you find that dead balrog?

  • can you make a vid like this just about Moria?

  • Stunning. I've played this before, but just got a new computer. It's installing now. I'm going to see if it can run the ultra graphics. :)

  • beautiful...just beautiful

  • This is by far the best MMO i've play and i been playing MMOs since '98 'till today and this game its just amazing, everything in this game i'ts beautiful from graphics to the music, from game community to game content, there is so much to do in this game , it's not like other MMOs where you hit lvl cap and all you do it's Raid or PvP, this game as way more options for you to do,the scenes from this video are amazing but you should see the scenes later on in the game they are amazing!!!.

  • I have shots from later on in the game *points at lotro amazing scenery 2*

    Check it out :)

  • Amen!

    I second your opinion.

  • I've changed from WoW to LOTRO, I'm still with a trial account..

    But on just 5 days I loved that game!

  • gosh i wish my computer could handle the ultra graphics.

  • If you are a fan of Mr Tolkien you would like this game:)

    Thanks great video.

  • Awesome scenery and music was brilliant!

  • somethings on lotro looks like it is paintings!! love it!

  • Reminds me of Oblivion. (not trolling, I rather meant that as a compliment)

  • totally agree

  • WoW has suckish graphics compaired to LOTRO, but they are both great games! On a gameplay scale I'd choose WoW, on a graphics scale, I'd have to choose LOTRO. =)

  • so the only reason you'd play LOTRO is because it has nice graphics.

    hmm..

  • Its a nice addition to the great gameplay

  • It's got amazing graphics but it's also got really good gameplay.

  • thats right, but tolkien isn't a graphic designer and responsible for the textures in a video game.

    thats up to the studios :)

  • Very nice graphics and shadow effects! :o

  • WoW graphics look like a pigs back side compared to this

  • Nice video. =) Excellent work.

    I'm really sad that everyone, including me, can't enjoy the nice graphics of the game. Is it really true that there won't be a fix to run LotRO on 'very high' settings with Vista 32? Makes a grown man sad it does.

  • what armour is that at the start?

  • LOTRO is the most beautiful looking game I have ever played period. I don't care for MMO's cause they are boring half the time but this game isn't boring ever so far and it looks fantastic. The atmosphere is amazing and I play just to see the sights half the time. WoW is okay but LOTRO is great!

  • Try Age of Conan, Lol. Best graphics out there

  • best graphics, too bad no one likes it.

  • The water effects in Lotro, owns a lot of games.

  • just can't uderstand if ppl like WoW more why are they watching LotRO vids... ¬_¬ and btw... i play LotRO for more than a year now, have 3 lvl60 chars and never get bored of it... u always can find new challenges and u can always do something new! It depends only on the ppl u are playing with! I have some really ncie friends in the game and we always do something fun! There's never a boring day and i play a lot, believe me :P so dont write about WoW under LotRO vids plz... just no reason imo

  • Check out my dx10 videos in full screen.

  • Yay people are arguing about wow vs lotro on my video lol

  • lol... wow sucks... end of argument teehee :p

  • LotRO has a much better story than WoW imo... and there are a lot of nerds out there in WoW

    Imo the gameplay is better aswell...

  • i said the story is better lol...

  • LotRO actually fails in the long run. With WoW the worlds look so mediocre I remain uninspired enough to continue clicking away on a keyboard. With LotRO after one glance at the screen I want cancel my subscription, smash my computer on the floor and take a 6 month journey to New Zealand to actually experience this stuff!

  • Well, the music in this vid isn't really helping so perhaps that's why you dont like it. But I respect ur opinion

  • No I meant LotRO was so good you don't just wanna play it, you wanna experience it.

  • Hmm yeah, I really want to go to New Zealand once...

    But still this vid doesn't show that much things :p Caras Galadhon and Lothlórien are great for example.

  • LotRO RULES!!!!

  • i shall maybe buy this game and i wonder if it's free to play it? because wow cost money to play it. does  lotro do that?

  • yes most real mmos like wow and lotro have a monthy fee. lotro is 15 dollars a month

  • i would probably play this if it had gondor and mordor :(

  • it will do one day. next expansion is rohan!

  • i hope they put more then just rohan. maybe fangorn and orthanc.

  • of course they will ;-)

  • yea me too

  • they will become available soon :)

  • i played wow, guild wars and lotro and lotro is goddamn better than wow or guildwar! its the best mmorpg at the time

  • ur opinon

  • As a oldschool wow player, i personally didnt like the game :(

  • what..?

  • This Game Is Actually Amazing, Best Thing In My Life By Far! Gotta Love Just Going For A Wander To The Top Of Amon Sul (:

  • Hey dude, Ive been playing WaR for about a month and I'd like to ask you that does LotrO have a good feeling of RP? coz you know WaR is only good for its pvp, and i really dont care about pvp so much, i just want a game wich takes me into the game and gives me a good feeling :p thanks, hope you answer soon

  • Lotro has the highest amount of RP ive seen in an MMO to be honest.

    If that was what you wanted you would have to roll on my server (Landroval) its been named the Unofficial Role playing server.

    During the peak hours you will see players, normally in the prancing pony, RP'ing the hell out of the game. Not to mention there are plenty of RP Kinships you could join as well. Hope I helped :D

  • I Love this Game!

  • best game ever. i just played 14 days trial but this game rocks.

  • this is dx9 and not dx10

  • You did an EXCELLENT job of this posting! You captured the essence of the game so well. You would be the perfect perrson to ask how to do this. I see a lot of people posting gameplay on yourtub. How do you record ( I know how do to a stillshot). Where does the recording go exactly? And the music, was that a youtube preapproved music selection thingy? I would love to know how to do this, if you have time to explain. Maybe a video response :) just turn your onscren camera around 4 a tutorial

  • Well I'm guessing that most people are using Fraps to capture in-game video. Google it :)

  • No... Dont know why this video looked so empty. If he went into an auction hall or a crafting place, there are lots of people there. There are alwyas lots of people to help you get started too. Heroes of Middle earth is our kin and the world is Meneldor. Come join the fun!

  • unfortunately it wont run on consoles anything like a PC - just get a nice PC, sell a kidney or something - you only need one lol

  • it puts most 360 graphics to shame. its amazing!

  • 7:58 EPIC FAIL it seems that every video has to have 1;) like in my comment xD np tanyway

  • awesome!!1 i hope that some day it may come to xbox 360!

  • its a pc game, and it should stay that way :P

  • Pretty ;(

  • what server is the best to play on?

  • Landroval, of course. :)

    It's unofficially an RP server, though. Most people there are very "in-character", and I love it!

  • ok, thank you :)

  • every few weeks, turbine sends a message saying the best one to play on, if you cant find it, scroll down and it should be there

  • wow is boring.... lotro is the best!!!

  • Depend on how you play WoW ;)

    I really wanna try LOTRO tho, but the free trial doesnt seem to work :(

    Plus i dont wanna be dissapointed like i was with AoC lolz

  • check if you have game of EU and trial of EU . and the same if you are in Usa then you need trial key for Usa.

  • Some one, pleas try play lotro insteed that idiot game wow

  • This was a task to make I'm sure.

  • Great video!

  • this is great.

    but i think you should have done high moor in the troll shores, i took a screen shot of me on a peak in highmoor lookign over the trol shores, it was breathtakling.

    and you should have done either misty mountains or forechel.

    angmar, despite being evil, also has some breath-taking veiws.

  • It's Trollshaws

  • can i run this game alirght my specs are: AMD Turion x2 dual core mobile technology RM-72.

    1408mb ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics Hypermemory.

    3GB DDR2.

    250GB HDD

  • course you can!

    your graf card is imense! 3GB of DDR2, i have 2GB RAM for my CPU and abou 512mb RAM for my Nvidia Geforce 9400 GT.

    should be fine. then fact that you have an actually graphics card means that it will support it.

  • awesome thxs alot. lol i ordered it and thought o stupid me i didnt check specs but am glad i can play it :P

    o could anyone let me know which is the least common class in the game?

  • Least common? I'd say Minstrel or Warden... or LM, or... you know its all pretty even but we could always use more healers ^_^
