QU'EST-CE QUE LE SEIGNEUR DES ANNEAUX EN LIGNE ?
‘Lord of the Rings Online’ is a massively multiplayer online game (MMORPG) developed and maintained by Standing Stone Games. The game is set in the mystical land of Middle-Earth, a world created by esteemed author J.R.R. Tolkien. It offers players a chance to experience firsthand the tales of bravery, camaraderie, and adventure parsed throughout the ‘Lord of the Rings’ (LOTR) trilogy. Unlike many MMORPGs, LOTRO emphasizes exploration, interaction, and the profound narrative that makes LOTR such a cherished fantasy series.
COMMENT ÇA MARCHE / COMMENT COMMENCER
Playing LOTRO starts with creating your character – you can choose from four different races, each to its unique set of skills and abilities. Options include the stealthy Hobbits, sturdy Dwarves, resourceful Men, and the wise Elves.
Depending on your chosen race, the game’s initial narrative will vary, thus offering you even more personalized playing experiences.
Next, you’ll select a vocation (trade skills), and a class (combat capabilities) for your character. Both determine your roles in battle and the overall economy of Middle-Earth.
Once your character is set, you’re ready to venture into the world! Follow quests, battle monsters, interact with other players, and explore the multi-faceted land of Middle-Earth.
