Named after the upcoming expansion, Riders of Rohan, the trailer eschews your typical in-game combat, gameplay additions and passing environmental shots for a taste of steel, long hair and knife sharpening to set the mood.

LOTRO is not exactly a new game, the engine is already showing age a bit longer and flees to modern games. However there are things that impressed me since the first time I got in the Turbine MMO, the amount of content and the size of the world. If you have never played LOTRO not even have sense of what I'm talking about, it really is a huge amount of quantity and attention to detail as never seen before and map size, it is better not to talk about it, is probably the biggest game of its kind on a map and exclude Minecraft is perhaps the largest map in the game.

So naturally, I was worried that Riders of Rohan would also be a disappointment and end my love for Lord of the Rings Online. Well, I'm happy to report that Riders of Rohan is most definitely not a disappointment, and is also the best since Moria expansion.
