Well friends, I’ve finally hit 1,000 hours in LOTRO (on Steam). I probably had a few dozen hours on the launcher without Steam, back on an old account in the late 00s.
The last year or so has seen several hundred hours of playtime added and I’m the closest I’ve ever been to level cap on my highest character (154) but have been spending a lot more time with my lower level High Elf through Eriador.
I played the Swanfleet intro for the first time and had an absolute blast, such a good way to experience a whole new game practically. The game is feeling awesome and the content is keeping me engaged, it’s great to see new players hopping on and always brings a chuckle when they meet Sara Oakhart for the first time.
The replay value in this game is astronomical and I keep coming back for more, and I say that as someone who inevitably picks Hunter class every time I alt lol. Thanks for all the good times and looking forward to seeing yall in Middle Earth!
