Lord of the Rings Online in 2025 is AMAZING

[@EbonhardtTV]

Going forward, this channel will mostly have high quality MMO essay videos! I hope to see you all for the next one in about two weeks! We'll be covering Guild Wars 2! I appreciate everyone's support and I'm looking forward to having an amazing 2025 with everyone!

[@pierreadeikalam1086]

Good on you bro I hope you'll do very well

[@AmongRevenants]

I'm really a SoD only gamers atm. But I like your content and interaction. Gave it a full watch through. Next one GW2. iirc I have an account for that game. Played it but the ingame movement felt off to me. A similar off putting movement feel that also plagued Rift for me. Over exposure to wow's toonish graphics has ruined me for modern graphic games.

Among the MMO community we call this game "the special one", it is only MMO dedicated to middle earth and it's dear to it's heart to many online gamers. The game has improved a lot and more is coming. This year (2024) LoTRO is/was most updated MMO and they are working very hard to deliver and please the community. New servers 64bit are coming which means less lag, you forgot to mention that LoTRO has this little option that can make the game for you while leveling "very hard", there's a landscape NPC that can change the difficulty of the mobs tenfold, if you wish. The game is wonderful in so many aspects. Story, questing, THE WORLD, even with those graphics the landscapes are one of the best.

[@EbonhardtTV]

I actually did mention those things! All of that was mentioned in the video! Still an amazing game though!

[@nexeus7302]

@@EbonhardtTV If I am not mistaken, LoTRO is one of the largest (if not largest) open world MMO's out there. With very few exceptions, there's almost no loading screen.

[@paltrax]

Lotro has been my mmo home for years now. Currently lv 115 and and still having fun with the group.

[@morrowoblivion13]

lotro captain from the arkenstone server here. sometimes the game lags is because of the war in the ettenmoores(yes the craid vs fraid gets nuts sometimes) like defending lugz you would have the creeps defending their keep so the freeps needs to fight both nps and the creeps especially trying to take their keep on a 24 craid vs 24 fraid. When you see the 2 red squares with yellow arrows going up below your morale/power bar it means the freeps won the war in the ettenmoores. And yeah it could be the timing since alot of players do have jobs.

[@storytimegaming7875]

Good work mate. This is an accurate description of what you are going to get with Lotro! Love this game but it sure has it's problems. Good video!

[@EbonhardtTV]

Thank you. I really enjoyed the game, even through its problems. Id say that the Legendary servers are for sure funner though

[@theduncanthetank]

It is a really good game: You helped me remember that. I even subbed to support. The 64 bit servers feel much better

[@EbonhardtTV]

It's definitely really good. It might not hold up for everyone, but for the people that play this game, the devs have done an amazing job supporting them.

[@kuroihagane]

Lotro is wonderful!

[@EbonhardtTV]

I wholeheartedly agree. It's a gem from the past.

[@vinconssier4224]

Good and funny content, you’ve made me subscribe and will play this once I’m done with wow classic fresh

[@nicolestarke-voges8268]

Lotro is my one and only game since 2007 ❤❤❤ Still in love with the game. Playing Lotro always feels like home ❤❤❤

[@rdsturgill83]

You have to remember they have limited resources it's not like world of warcraft where they have unlimited funding and money they have been slowly working on the lag and the game once you get into higher content it's really good and the raids are fun the combat is actually pretty well done as well you just have to get use to it thats all, it's not world of warcraft where everything is pew pew.

[@LOTROMOODS]

I for one LOVE LOTRO! Been my home for several years now! Looking forward to the new servers! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@docshiroe]

This is in Gladden, my friend florco is there in the video haha

[@docshiroe]

If you ever need a kin :) you can join our kin :))

[@cavetroll666]

thanks for the video been playing this since i bought it from blockbuster in 2007 its a huge world and very similar i think to classic wow in terms of feel and community its a very special game we are all the way to Harad now when back in 2007 i thought we would barely make it to Moria and i just play classic wow to get my endgame fix but both games keep me satisfied.

[@Seb_Falkor]

I tried this game waayy back in like 2010 or something and enjoyed my time though short. I've really been itching to try it again today. Real curious to see how it'll hold up

[@dubya85]

Need to be on Arkenstone server for PVP - active 24/7

[@xChinobi]

Was wondering this wanted to come back and not sub yet, is Arkenstone the top N.A. server for pop?

[@Forbidden_0ne]

How did classic fresh or HC fresh go?

[@ArdalionJorunn]

Thanks for the breakdown! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

[@NightstalkerX5]

LOTRO is amazing! Arkenstone Server! Much Love! But Bruh its not 2025 yet.

[@Andyground11]

I love this game but it's so f*********** unaccessible! x)

[@YAHWEH-YESHUA-MINISTRIES]

No it's not 😂😂😂

[@dubya85]

Excellent game

[@ghozter1]

Uhm excuse me sir, we're still in 2024 🤓unless you're somehow a mage from the future 🤓

[@IJH-Music]

Everyone in 2024 is saying its amazing. I tried it recently, and it's relatively inactive and dying. Despite all the KZbinrs hyping it up this year, the player base is on a decline, STILL! ):

[@Supergrunt8]

The first few zones are pretty bland by today's standards (except maybe the shire). As far as the base game goes (Shadows of Angmar), the story really gets good during the latter half. After that mines of moria is must play content, so is mirkwood but riders of rohan can get old and repetitive in it's quest structure. And then it's consistently good from Gondor and onwards. Most videos on this game by gaming channels such as this one really only showcase the first few hours, but this game is massive and if you're not a fan of tolkien on some level It's doubtful you'll stuck around to see it despite it being a solid game. I wouldn't say the game is dying either. It has a modestly sized dedicated community, not every mmo can be FF14 or WoW. Lotro has carved out it's niche and players like myself will defend it until the heat death of the universe despite it's flaws.

[@feanortheferal]

So you have abandoned Wow :)

[@EbonhardtTV]

Not quite, but I wanted to go down the road of MMO essays for 2025 and expand the games I play and talk about. On my 2nd channel and Stream it's still 99% WoW!

[@ixplain]

What is bro supposed to talk about? His entire channel revolved around classic plus and no announcement so gg.

[@bohne8746]

Until a Classic+ eventually arrives. I‘m taking a break now as well from WoW and playing other games. In 2026 when maybe C+ comes I‘ll return.

[@bRED2k]

you cant even read the UI because it does not scale and is to small to read in 4K.... real dated trash game

[@YAHWEH-YESHUA-MINISTRIES]

😂😂😂😂
