Written by Chessack
The fact is that by the time I got to level 40, I started to realize that almost all the content in LOTRO is grind-based.

Game Review: Lord of the Rings Online

03 May 2009 06:27:45 PDT

Written by Chessack

Opinion: LOTRO: living the fanfic dream?

Quick LOTRO update: I think that Lord of the Rings Online is one of those games that you either love or hate. They do some things brilliantly, awesomely, incredibly well … and others are painfully lacklustre. So how you feel about the game will depend very much on:
