Been playing this since launch. Glad to see it on steam!

The F2P model is not the best, with a very pay as you go mindset, making you purchase quest packs as you level. This can be avoided by paying subscription.
The MMO aspect is also a bit dated, but this means there are mountains of content to enjoy.

This gets consistently updated with new, and free content, as well as expansions on a yearly basis. The story is well into Return of the King by now.

If you are in any way a fan of Middle Earth, I recommend trying this one out purely to explore this interpretation of Middle Earth, as it is the most fully realised one to date.

You can walk from the old fortress of Carn Dum in Angmar, all the way to Dol Amroth in Gondor.
You could follow the path the fellowship took, or even that of Bilbo to some extent.

This is a fantastic game for the role players and explorers among us.
