A bunch of free content with a coupon in LoTRO. Very worth downloading the game and redeeming if you ever had or ever think you might even want to try the game.

I think it’s still the best LoTR game out there. And it’s free-to-play model doesn’t even suck too badly. Old as hell of course, from the webpage to the game itself, it’s like traveling back in time by 15 years.

Edit: Also if you had an account with chars ages ago, the server they were on may have been closed. But you should be able to transfer your toons from the Launcher with the Transfer button.

    its because the “oldies” are well designed and aren’t overtly obvious cash grabs.

    well I mean some are cash types. but quite a few old MMOs have a great life due to private servers and whatnot. And some “dead” MMOs are still alive solely on private servers (Star Wars Galaxies for example)

    and ones like ESO are great for not needing a subscription to play. you have the option to just buy the content outright if you’d like.

    but yeah I would love to see a new MMO come along to bring that feeling back. the good old days of competition between MMOs. it does feel like cash shop gacha trash is everywhere these days.
