Trying to find a new game to box.

Lord of the Rings Online aka LOTRO was a very fun game. Especially if you're a fan of Tolkien of course. Really nice graphics even for how old it is and it's F2P. This is if they are still around- I haven't checked in ages lol.

The F2P restrictions are pretty crazy though. If you like grinding out the Turbine Points then it doesn't matter.

Agreed. Inventory is NOT manageable f2p, not unless you just delete every profession item.

My problem with LOTRO was the same all three times. I got to the late 20s and hit a quest zone where you had to go in and out of this suicidal or slow canyon (depending on how you approached it... I'm a "run through and hope stuff deaggros" kind of girl, which can make life more... interesting) about 5 times. I HATE that zone and a bunch of the zones aren't included by default in f2p anyway.

The music and atmosphere is still lovely though, I was actually considering giving it another shot because I'm reading the Wheel of Time series right now and it is very reminiscent of tolkien.

I think rift is the most wow-like multiboxing experience and a lot of the hate has died down from the initial snottiness when the game went f2p. I stopped playing personally because 1) they broke true multispeccing* and 2) I hated that they jacked up the AH fees so that I couldn't use crafting to make gold anymore

*in vanilla rift, deep multispecs were viable, after the expansion, suddenly hybrids were not viable, at least not for boxing, so I had to switch my multispec team from 4 and 1 to 3-1-1, much less fun and smooth. I actually had a bit of a hard time getting my specs back up to scratch. I think I eventually did, and I discussed the process in my rift blog posts last year.
