The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar

The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar is the latest MMORPG to hit the shelves. It requires a subscription to play and is similar to other online social networks but with more of an objective. As with other MMORPG's, one can customise their avatar and other aspects of their user and interact with other online players. However, there is a more competitive edge to this MMORPG as players set out on quests for rewards such as titles and objects within the online network.
There are moral issues raised about the use of this game, such as an increase in anti-social behaviour and the health of the population. The subscription is also set to be questioned as over the period of a few months, the total cost could total a lot more than some are willing to pay.
It is popular belief that this game will be very popular and have a lot of subscribers due to the massive popularity of the books and films that this game is based on.
