I've been playing this game since 2012, and I'm impressed by how strong this game is able to stand after so many years (especially considering how MMOs have declined over time). It's easily one of my favorite video games I've ever played.
For an MMO, it has one of the most generous free-to-play models available, making it very accessible if you are still new to the game. I find this especially important for MMOs as they may take a lot of time and investment. All content up to Level 95 is free, which is essentially the first six years of the game's development, and much of the micro-transactions in the game can be unlocked for free by earning in-game currency through the game's own achievement system called "deeds." A more in-depth discussion of the game's subscription model can be viewed in this Reddit post.
Being based on Middle-earth, the game is one of the largest MMOs ever made. I feel fully immersed when I play this game, the artwork is very beautiful, and with each new zone I fall in love with the game again. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who's a fan of LOTRO, MMOs, or both.
