Every few months I get the itch to dive into an MMO. I drift around among many of the free to play offerings depending on what sort of world I want to inhabit. As is tradition for me this time of year, I've been rewatching the LOTR trilogy, and thus I've decided to hop back into Lord of the Rings Online.

I haven't played in years, but dusted off my level 10 champion and set about getting reacquainted with things. Thus far I'm having a really good time. There's something quaintly nostalgic about this kind of tab target MMO. The whole thing is very cozy to me. Maybe that's just my love of the setting and the opening areas being consciously pastoral, but I find it very easy to just zone out and churn through content in this game.

I don't know how long I'll stick with it, as MMOs tend to demand more investment than I'm willing to give single games, but as of right now I'm having a wonderful time.
