   It was in the Third Age for sure. Soon before the start of the War of the Ring. I woke up in some prison cell with amnesia. Still do not remember anything from my earlier life. Prolly I was beaten hard by Blackwolds and this is why I remember nothing. And I think that I would die in that cell if not king Ellesar (then no one knew he will be a king), who had freed me. Yes men, thats not a lie. You can go to Minas Tirith and ask him. I was rescued by king Elessar personally. And later, oh man, so much fighting…

   Original SoA Beta. I hated it. Bought it anyway, played the 3day headstart and everything, hated it still. I was young and stupid I guess. It wasn’t ’till 5-6 months before F2P that I decided to give it another chance and I’m loving it ever since.

   It was very shortly after f2p came out. October the 1st of that year. I had wanted to play ever since I had first seen the game advertised but at the time it simply wasn’t in my budget to pay for a game that I may or may not had liked. F2p gave me the opportunity to play and fall in love with turbine’s version of middle-earth.

   Thanksgiving break following F2P, though I didn’t know it at the time. I was so new to MMOs, I went down the rabbit-hole by Googling “Free Fantasy MMORPG” (In retrospect, not the smartest or safest thing to do), and LOTRO came up. I’ve been an avid fan ever since my dad read the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings to me as bedtime stories when I was a wee lass, so I was excited to be able to play in world I’d loved for years. Turbine did not disappoint, and LOTRO remains the game I always come back to.
