Why you should play this game over anything else: I don't give a fuck! But you can be a dwarf that kills monsters with a flute!
Seriously, though, Lord of the Rings Online is very similar to other MMOs out there right now, mainly World of Warcraft. Where it differs, however, is the rich setting of Middle-Earth that the game takes place in, well-written storyline and normal menial quests, and the game is
fucking gorgeous. Here are a few screenshots shamelessly stolen from Fandyien (and some other random people) detailing some of the game:
I'll post my own screenshots later, so I don't have to fucking wade through the screenshot thread in G&T anymore.
Also, you can play your own music in Lord of the Rings Online. Observe:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WN-TLNuM9twClassesGuardian - Your typical tank. Wears the heaviest armor, and soaks up damage. Surprisingly a decent amount of DPS, too.
Captain - An interesting support class. Can also wear plate armor, and has a minion to control, which adds beneficial bonuses to the captain and her party. Personally one of my favorite classes.
Champion - Melee DPS. Can also wear plate armor. Specializes in AOE damage. Play this if you've been dying to pretend you're some white boy Drizzt Do'Urden.
Hunter - Total nuker class. Wears leather armor, but can also survive a close quarter fight. Best single-target DPS in the game.
Burglar - Debuffer and crowd control class. Deals a hefty amount of damage, as well, though is still outshined by the champion and hunter.
Loremaster - Crowd control class. Wears cloth armor. I don't know much about them. You get a bear, though!
Minstrel - The main healer of Lord of the Rings Online. Heals your morale by... playing an instrument during battle. Can also play all instruments in the game.
Warden - Faggots with spears, or something. I don't know much about them, other than that they wear medium armor, make good off-tanks, as they deal more DPS than a Guardian, but soak up less.
Rune Keeper - RUUUUUUUUUUNES
I'll update this more when my migraine isn't kicking the shit out of me.
Special thanks to G&T for not giving me permission to steal your screenshots. Also, Fandyien, posts screenshots in this thread$10!

The healing class would just be a drunk Scotsman with a hot poker to cauterize wounds.
I played it like a year ago and it was the opposite of fun
I don't recall it ever being not fun?
Hi, Pip.
this time it is pgood
just because I like hobbits
This makes no sense. I restarted it and now it says I need to get 23661 files. It takes like a second each though so I'm just gonna play some Fallout 3
Yes, this is my third trial and now I love it
it was essentially wow lite at release
only even less hardcore
It must be awesome to have a pair of glasses that rival the strength of telescopes to enable you to read anything in this screenshot.
Oh, they added a whole bunch of stuff, now, so I don't think that applies any longer.
yeah Imageshack shrunk it. It says 367% completed. 100 is the MAX %!!!
then I will take advantage of the trial probably tomorrow
oh god it just
oh ahhahahah
