The Lord of the Rings Online is a classic MMORPG released in 2007. Despite its age, it maintains a stable, loyal player base thanks to ongoing updates and the popularity of the Tolkien IP. However, as an older MMO without the massive mainstream popularity of genre leaders, its daily active users are likely in the low tens of thousands.
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.
