This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers

I have to tell you, i been around when it comes to MMO's i started in 2003 with EQOA for ps2. since then i have tried easily over 100 mmo's most of which were free to play garbage. There is a massive market out there now for these games. Back in the day your choices were quite limited, that being said. Lotro is a shining beacon of hope in the cold,long dark of F2P games! This is easily the best free to play game The only reason the graphics got a 9, is because the character models are lacking a bit. I mean they just don't look as good as they should given the environment and lighting, not a big deal just takes away from it very slightly. The restrictions are the least intense ive ever seen! You can go anywhere without paying a single dime! The cash shop that is in place, server for mostly cosmetics, nothing to give others a edge over you. I got mithril edition and dropped 20$ on points to make for 3600 points and i got most of the content i was lacking! Quests, extra bag slots, and some cosmetics. There is little to no loading in this game, you can ride from one end of the map to the other with only a very mild zone load between the MASSIVE zones. Even if your not a fan of lotr, this game has something for everyone! Running around the shire doing quests and taking in the scenery.... just get this game dudes! it's epic! trust me! lol. oh and btw, the 2k points you get pay for this edition and then some! this is a STEAL!

The Lord of the Rings Online: Mithril Edition is no more than a goodie bag for those that have paid accounts. in order to even use the keycode that comes with your purchace they veryify that you have a paid account, otherwise they tell you "Sorry, in order to use this keycode you need to have a payment method on file" All you get is the basic game client and some extra quests, and a mount you can't use unless you have the level and skill to use them, and if you have not bought them you're locked out of them until then.

This game is perfect for: casual gamers

If you've just started playing LotRO, or are thinking about getting into it, buy this Mythril Edition. The price makes it a steal for all the quest content, Turbine Points, and other goodies it includes.

I'm a pretty hard sell when it comes to MMOs, but Lord of the Rings Online has managed to maintain my interest. Folks who are really into Tolkien's lore will absolutely adore the game's storyline and consistency, but newbies to the Lord of the Rings - like myself - will find it easy to dive into and a lot of fun once you do.

There is an in-game store, but it's not a cash shop: the items sold are mostly aesthetic, and are reasonably priced besides. There are also plenty of opportunities to get your hands on store content besides paying for it: the game includes methods of gaining store currency as you play as well as offering packages like this one, where you get a ridiculous amount of content for about a third of the price.

Prohibitive for international players

Posted on:2/27/12

Petha

Location: Brazil

Well, I tried to buy the Mithril Edition. I was really excited, the game is great after all. But this sale is awful for those who not reside in United States. I am really surprised that besides the 29.99 U$, I have to pay more 59.99 U$ for shipping. What i really want is the game benefits, not paying 90 U$ for something I'll only use online. Gamestop should think about it's international customers to-be, since the money from those outside US has the same monetary value.

Great Deal

Posted on:1/13/12

ZeroTorrent

Location: Louisville, KY

This pack is a great deal for pretty much any LotRO player. The Path of the Fellowship quest line goes for 2950 Turbine Points in-game, which are worth approximately $30. Adding on the 2000 Turbine Points and 500 Turbine Point bonus is worth another $25 or so. In total, this pack is the equivalent of over 5400 TP, or about $54. Unless the account in question already has all the quest packs listed (through purchase or from being a VIP), the Mithril Edition is worth nearly twice its equivalent USD value in game currency.

It's worth it.

Firstly in case the first poster hadn't noticed it includes the path of the fellowship qp's which include Trollshaws, Eregion, Moria, and Lothlorien, Which is freaking awesome because Moria is a key area and the fact that you also get Lothlorien means you could hit Level 65 and have racked up enough TP from completing deeds which you do without even realizing it half the time, and buy the ROI QP, or however it's bundled for, yeah you get a 5g minium but when I first started playing that minimum was 2g and it being raised is pretty sweet for newer players, not to mention by the time I was like lvl 25 I had enough tp to have it removed it's not that much to get it taken off also buying this gives you 2000TP which is actually quite a bit, the only QP'S you'd even need after buying it if you wanted would be Angmar, Evendim, and Dunland, which with that 2k tp plus what you rack up would be moooore than enough. This is seriously a sweet deal. I've been playing for a little under a year and I can tell you had this been out then I so would have gotten it. Not only does LoTRO provide a unique gaming experience, friendly players, and just a beautiful game to look it. It provides sales on QPs fairly often, along with a ton of other sales. Also if you wanted a 250hp 62+speed mount, you could EASILY get one via one of the 4 festivals that occur by season by achieving kindred status with drinking factions. Which is easily done before the festival ends. And one of those festivals is coming up for the Spring, and the Yule one is still continuing. So honestly with that 2000k tp, the 4 QP's included, and even a freaking starter mount it's more than worth it.

It is a starter edition BUT . . .

Posted on:12/16/11

Crailen

Location: Anchorage, Alaska

As the other post states, it is a starter edition, but the poster doesn't tell you everything. First, yes it is a starter mount, about 30% faster than on foot, but the monsters in game don't travel very quickly so outrunning them on the mount is pretty simple if that's what you're trying to do. Additionally the first 20 levels or so, you really don't need a mount at all because Turbine has proven to be pretty solid at keeping quests in similar regions of the map.

Second, you COULD go and grind out a bunch of instances to earn the turbine points to get new areas, or you could just do the 'Deeds' that pop up VERY frequently in the first 20 levels of the game. I earned about 500 in my first two weeks playing (yes, I will admit I played a bit more than 'casually' at about 2 to 3 hours in the evenings). That hardly amounts to a ridiculous amount of grinding.
-- OR, you could pay 9.99 a month (they dropped the price as of the time of this posting because of their anniversary) and have access to everything except the Rune-Master and the Warden (those you will still need to purchase with Turbine Points) and the PvMP races (other than I think it is called the Reaver or Ravager, something like that). Additionally, you will get 500 Turbine Points each month with your subscription. So, on top of having access to the quests, instances and all the areas you get the extra points to spend on unlocking (for the account) other aspects of the game.

As a free-to-play account you do get to send messages to other players, join Kinships, and purchase from the Auction House (not post in it) and as a Premium Member (which purchasing the box makes you) you can post on the Auction House.

So as to not make this too much longer, I'll just mention that yeah the 5 gold limit is pretty low, but it is more than enough to purchase the standard houses that become available to a level 15 character (don't expect to have 5 gold by that point) or any of the mounts available in-game (specialty mounts require Turbine Points or special accomplishments in the game).

Now there are other quirks that crop up on occasion in the game, but the majority of them aren't even annoying they just give you a moment of pause to think 'what was that?' and then you move along to do something else. So far (2 months in) I've had no issues recur, just once and done which in itself is a little strange, but I'll accept it.

Great for Starters

Posted on:12/9/11

MrGoodPie

Location: Houston, TX

It appears that this is just a basic starter edition. The mount included is a starter mount, meaning it's one of the slow mounts. The quest pack gives you access to the quests in several areas, but you will need to purchase an additional quest pack or grind instances and skirmishes for several days (if you're fast) to gain a high enough level to access the quests in these zones. By the end of the free zones that anyone can access, you will be in your low 30s. The lowest-level zone included in this pack is the Trollshaws, which is a level 40 zone. Quests packs cost 750 Turbine Points, and you’ll need to buy the North Downs unless you don’t mind a very long grind.

The description on the page is deceptive. No monthly fees are “required”, per se, but you will have to shell out some serious cash for this game aside from this starter pack. You have to buy access to use the following features:

1) Send personal messages

2) Use the mail system

3) Use the auction house

4) Trade items

5) Carry more than 5 Gold (which is an embarrassingly low amount)

6) Use the Warden and Rune Keeper classes

7) Do certain skirmishes

8) Have access to all the classes in Monster Play (LOTRO’s version of PvP)

You will have 5 character slots, but keep in mind that purchasing items 1-5 and 7 only applies them to the character they were purchased on, meaning you have to rebuy everything for every character. Also, Lothlórien, the highest-level zone in the quest pack, is not the final zone. There are about 5 zones that come after it, along with several zones before it. If you want everything, expect to pay a premium for each character that makes even the loosest of spenders shudder.

There are 3 levels of membership: Free, Premium, and VIP. Purchasing this pack will make you a Premium member, increasing your character slots of 2 to 5 and increasing your gold cap from 2 Gold to 5 Gold. VIPs have access to everything, but have to pay a monthly fee of $15.

The moral of the story is if you’re already a paying, playing member, this is a waste of money unless you just want a hard copy. If you’re new to the game and don’t want to go VIP yet, then this is a great deal, as the 4 quest packs included apply to all characters across all servers on your account. But don’t let the release date of this box keep you from playing now. You don’t need this to create an account and start playing “free of charge” today. Just keep in mind that this game is not a one-time purchase. You will either have to start paying a monthly fee of $15 or get nickel and dimed by microtransactions every time you turn around.

Actually...

You can get everything in this game without spending a dime (unless the last two updates have made that no longer possible). You have to grind quite a lot and do the deeds with multiple characters, but if you have the time it isn't that hard...

Your review is misleading. The complaints against "no monthly fees" in LotRO really has nothing to do with the Mithril Edition pack. LotRO has had a free-to-play service for quite some time, and this product really doesn't affect the way that funtions. Because of the included 2000-2500 TP in this pack, the "nickel and dime" effect of microtransactions are somewhat nullified even for free players, not to mention you gain TP through playing the game anyway, so you will quickly gain back the points you spend on the small, optional purchases. As a side note, making a purchase in the LotRO store does not make you premium. However, with every other pack for LotRO, adding the game code to your account makes the account a Premium account. People on the LotRO forum confirm this to be true with the Mithril edition as well. Also, even with a VIP subscription, this pack would be useful, as it contains not only the point bonus, but 2 of the 3 expansion quest packs, which are not normally included with VIP. The only people for which this pack really isn't worth it are those that already have all the quest packs.

Good For Starters, However...

Posted 12/23/11

If you already started a character like how I did, it makes this look kind of redundant. Although, if you didn't start one this would be a great advantage because it gives you a lot of extra stuff like Turbine Points which you either earn through deeds or buy with real money (which means 2000 is quite a lot). Word of Advice: you become a premium player by buying something from the LOTRO Store, a smart move would be buying the gold cap removal...
