Lord of the Rings Online has set the MMO world on its ear. For the long wait leading up to its release many speculated and others tested, but everyone seemed very excited. The creation of a game based around a modern classic like Lord of the Rings was certainly going to be an endeavor. The question is this though; did Turbine live up to the challenge? Everyone knows at least the very basics of the Lord of the Rings lore. The Tolkien Estate has given Turbine the ability and rights to make the game and to add their own pieces to that timeless story.
Shadows of Angmar sees us, the regular folk, fighting for our homes against the armies of the Witch King. We are not the heroes. We are the free people of the lands of Eriador. The story is about our characters defending their homes and lands in any way they can. They are the unsung heroes that you don't get to hear about in the books.
The other types of quests are known as Fellowship Quests. These quests are missions that are best completed with a group, or as they are appropriately named in LotRO, fellowships. This is, of course, only a recommendation and you can try the quests alone if you prefer, but a little backup is usually a good idea.
Again, depending on your class, these can be harder or easier to complete. Fellowship Quests vary from simple group-based collection missions, to the sometimes much more difficult elite and boss killing quests. Some of the fellowship missions are big instances, but many are straight forward and just need a good group effort to complete. The fellowship quests that aren't instanced can sometimes take a bit of patience if there are other groups currently trying to do the same quest. This problem arises depending on just how busy the server you're playing on is (at the time of publication, there are currently 11 servers to choose from with the US client). Overall the fellowship quests are enjoyable and each class has a role to fill; encouraging the social aspect of the game as well as good team work.
