The Lord of the Rings Online is a classic MMORPG released in 2007. Despite its age, it maintains a loyal niche player base due to the enduring popularity of the Lord of the Rings IP and regular updates from Standing Stone Games. However, its age and niche status mean the daily active player base has declined considerably from its peak, currently estimated around 20,000 daily active players.
The Epic Story is an ongoing series of adventures, or quests, steeped with intrigue and action. These adventures begin the moment you start playing, and feature characters like Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf the Grey, and Strider, Ranger of the North; during significant events in the Epic Story, Session Play lifts you from your hero's shoes and puts you in temporary control of a legendary character. But no matter the method of storytelling, you will always earn rewards for your developing hero.
