It is essentially an MMORPG (a bit like WoW) set in Middle Earth. I was surprised how closely it followed the books actually. They obviously added and expanded on a fair amount of content but in a way that actually compliments rather than detracts from the books. They've also done their homework and places are pretty much exactly as they're described in the books.
But essentially I've been playing it for a while and love it and was wondering if anyone else on here played it who I may have seen around slaying orcs.
