Latest LotRO free-to-play screens show new starting areas

Reader Comments (2)

I'm a big LOTRO fan. I enjoyed the game play and story progression. I took a break shortly after Mirkwood came out hoping to give Turbine some time to add more content for me to savor on my return. The game going F2P is of great interest to me; the only downside I find is the addition of the "pay to quest" setup they're putting in. If it's only a few of the offshoot quests here and there I'll be ok with it, I've done them already. However, if it's prevalent throughout the story and questing experience that I have come to enjoy, then I'll not be as committed to sticking with the new model.

I am willing to give it a shot and I'm hoping for the best.

well if you sub you get all the quests still and everything that you had before.

If you don't want to sub then you have to pay for quest packs zone by zone, and once you pay for a quest pack any of your characters can use it.

But buying quests and such is going to be a big part of the game.

No F2P game is really free. It is just a stupid moniker that should be dropped IMO. But if you do F2P, I believe this is the best way to do it. Giving the people who want to sub a choice as well.
