The Lord of the Rings Online: Mines of Moria

The game offers two new character classes that best fit the nature of the underground adventures – the Rune-Keeper and the Warden. Both their skills and combat potential can prove very useful when exploring the tunnels and fighting challenging battles with monsters perfectly adapted to the ever-present darkness. Should a player face difficulties with proceeding through the mines, he can always consider developing his character and preparing a proper set of gear – Mines of Moria for PC delivers new abilities, combat techniques, and class quests. Another novelty introduced by the expansion is the innovative system of crafting and improving the legendary items that level up along with their owners, and can even adopt a certain portion of the hero’s combat potential. All this results in the ability to create incredibly powerful artifacts that can match the Sting or the Glamdring. The most seasoned characters can try their strengths in the epic battles and team raids fought in the very heart of the greatest and most dangerous complex of underground tunnels in whole Middle-Earth.

Technical aspects

Since mid-2010, the game has switched to a free-to-play business model. This means that players can enjoy it for free, however, those who want to unlock the access to the so-called 'premium content' have to utilize the optional microtransactions system.
