What is LOTRO?

 
The Lord of the Rings Online™ (LOTRO) is the first massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) set in the world of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. LOTRO takes place in a persistent online world populated with real and computer players that continue to function even when you turn the game off.
 
One benefit to playing LOTRO is the large player pool, which provides many options when players are looking to enjoy the game with other people. Another great benefit is the frequent updates that Turbine releases in order to expand and improve the game. However, taking advantage of this content can be difficult without a proper understanding of the game functions.
