It's a foreboding place, dangerous for low-level players, but one that encapsulates the kind of creepy ambience you'd expect from a well-delivered ghost story. Mirkwood has a few things in common with this gloomy woodland: it's a forest (duh) and it's also been tainted by the evil of the Dark Lord Sauron. But if you were expecting a similarly tentative experience – tiptoeing around corrupted oaks and tangling with other creatures that are native to the Bree woodland but twisted by dark magics – you're in for a surprise."
"It’s almost impossible to approach a MMORPG bearing the name of the most popular Tolkien creation with an open, unbiased mind and without a set of preconceived ideas and high expectations."

You may have heard about Lord of the Rings before now, it is kind of popular. If not, then take a break from reading this and go ask, well, anybody. I’ll wait.
Great, now that you are back and feeling more than a little silly I hope, let’s talk about the massively multiplayer online version of the beloved classic.
