My ex-wifes's uncle used to play this regularly. He ended up passing away, and we reached out to his friends on LotRO who planned an in-game memorial with a huge turn out. This might not be the biggest MMO, but that alone showed how close knit and friendly the community is.
It's really beautiful to see. Our old kin-leader died and our kin arranged a funeral march through Bree. The thing is that not only our kin joined but people from the whole server joined us. Truly beautiful.
@@MrHaaaj Do you happen to remember his name in game? Probably not the same person, but it sounds like the same thing they did for him. I can't remember his in game name, but I'd definitely recognize it if I heard it. Definitely a wonderful thing to see.
@@tlingitsoldier Unfortunately not as it happened during a period when I barely played the game but the kin is called "Goblins for Hire" on the Brandywine server.
@@MrHaaaj Sounds like it's a different person. The one I know was in The Last Hope kinship. Either way, thank you for sharing about another person who made a big impact on others lives.
@@MrHaaaj ahh for a second I thought you were talking about another person named Nidor, I was his guild leader (for awhile) and clansmen too. We had an in-game funeral, and then after I had left I had heard the developers had added a memorial to the game. RIP Eps, Nidor, and everyone that's passed that everyone has met online.
I love the fact that you guys were just a sightseeing family of hobbits going to lore locations and taking selfies with the characters from the story, absolutely brilliant 👏 😂
@@dend5151 its an mmo just like WoW but with an actual amazing story and interesting leveling, where endgame is NOT the goal, where you have 350 hours of free content, basically youre just another adventurer trying to help all around during the movies (or books since the game is based on the books). Youre become a friend of the fellowship but thats it youre never ''the chosen one'' but rather ''another one'' that Gandalf can rely on when theyre all busy
@@kokocaptainqc Damn, maybe I'll try it out. The small player base and not the greatest combat (from what I have seen in the vid) kinda turn me away, but I know that's not all there is to the game.
@@dend5151 the combat is undeniably lacking (though there are some gorgeous visuals to combat with classes such as Rune Keeper and Lore Master), but i 100% play this game for the community (im on the arkenstone server), the story, and the fact you can actually walk around middle earth.
I have so many fond memories with this game, whenever my mother would go on store runs me and my sister would call our grandmother on the phone and we would all play together. We never got very far in the game but it was amazing.
Just recently discovered your channel,and I gotta say it's been a while since a TH-camr has consistently made me laugh out loud like you do. So keep it up dude,you're seriously one of the best channels on this platform! :)
The same thing has happened to me lol. Found his channel a month ago and binge-watched nothing but Kevduit and quickly ran out of videos, my home page was filled with his videos to the point where I lost track of a few youtubers I used to watch.
I've been playing this game for nearly 13 years now. I absolutely love it. The charm about this game is that it's about the journey, not the destination. If you speed run through it, you're missing the point of the game. The sky is one of my favorite things to look at and well...I've died more times falling off of a cliff then I have from enemies. xD Also if you're looking for a chill, friendly server, I HIGHLY recommend Gladden. I swear we're all hobbits playing that server, as you can get people to talk for over an hour about food just by mentioning something like bacon. There's so many charming things in the game, and the easter eggs are hilarious. One that's not quite an easter egg is if you type /die, you'll get a message "You don't know how to do that...yet". The game's been around for 15 years now, which is amazing for a MMO.
@@Mycooloriginal They have changed up a fair bit of stuff. For example, there's more vegetation in early areas like the Barrow Downs. Ered Luin and the Shire are now connected. There's no longer a portal between them.

This has been my favourite MMO for around 9 years now. The Open World has got to be one of the most impressive I've played - the scale of it is very immersive.
Not only is Warden my favourite class of any MMO, but this game feels like the journey really matters. Instead of a theme park of generic fantasy creatures, I'm actually going through Middle Earth, helping characters and experiencing the events of the third age.
@@OfficialEpicPixel The only LoTR game I played was, well my memory is gone and all I remember is being able to play as the Orks on the ol PlayStation dookey to kill the main party. THAT was the ONLY and first time that happened until the nemesis system existed and other chances to play the bad guys. They weren't very good back then compared to games like Halo 2 and 3 or like Destroy all humans, it felt like they were trying to hard to be FFVII and not be similar the FF series. I have played The Legend of Dragoon on the PS1, that was sick and a little bit of actual FFVII on there too only like the first disk of two. Dragoon had four, all of them with the black laminated back. Good memories.
All that running your Hobbit family did can be done as part of an in-game event called the Chicken Run where you become a chicken and try to just run from one lore spot to another across regions where enemies can sense you from five miles away and kill you by making eye contact. It's great fun!
I haven't played in awhile, but my fondest MMO memories are with this game. People may call it a clone, but they have more original classes than any other MMO. Warden and Rune-Keeper especially are so fun and unique.
actually, Lotro and DDO, are both going strong, with frequent updates and expansions still being added. They might have small populations, but they have the MOST loyal players, and the devs are amazing and actually communicate with the players on a constant basis.
I've been playing lotro within the last few months and it's been a lot of fun, getting to see the world of middle earth has been really fun. Congratulations on 10 years and I'm glad to be part of the community you've created. Your content is amazing thank you for your work!!
Me: **here for the mayhem and chaos of your videos** Kev: **makes a wholesome intro** Me: **sobbing** You shall not have my tears! Okay, seriously, congratulations!
The epic this for me when i bought the the game in a box with cds back when it launced for a full price -I expected gametime at least but got nothing So that was Lotr for me - a dead game out of the box strait away -I never looked back after installing -I didnt play and the game died soon also as a paid game -Still havnt played the game even if its awsum
I can't express how right is this way to play this game lol, you're doing what's in very spirit of The Hobbit - exploring, enjoying, sightseeing and singing. What a respectable gameplay.
Really lovely to see bigger youtubers making a video about my favorite game! Loved watching you guys traversing all those high level areas, had me on the edge of my seat. Also did not know milestones could have level requirements XD And great to see you enjoyed the open world so much, it is very much worth exploring!
My dad and I play this game together and we absolutely love it. My dad has been playing almost since it came out and the amount of joy this game brings is amazing. Thanks for the great video!
Hey kevduit; You're a good guy. Anyone that entertains the masses and isn't an asshole, is good in my books. Thank you. Your work is not taken for granted.
Childhood flashbacks, I remember playing this with my oldest sister. I actually enjoyed it tbh and I'm not big on online games. But oh man congrats on tens years dude! That's a big milestone!
Found you through your ESO stuff ages ago, those insane builds. And seeing a new Kevduit video never fails to raise a smile. LOTRO was a game I loved for a good couple of years, and it was a nice nostalgia hit, especially when it's you and the gang having a jaunt around middle earth. Congratulations on 10 years of unique and amazing content.
ive played this game for 13 yrs now.. its a great game , true to the lore, the community in this game is amazing, as wellll the music community and the music fests that are held are only a few reasons why i STILL enjoy this game.. I had to add to my original comment , i lol'ed a lot watching your family's adventure!!😅 first time seeing a vid of yours.. you got a like and a subscribe for this .. thanks
I'm not even two minutes in to this video and you've brought tears to my eyes, you're amazing and I love your videos! I hope you don't forget all us little people who have been here maybe not since the beginning but long enough to watch you grow.
Hey, Kev, gotta say you've actively helped my mental state by being you for the last 2 years of my life. I love your content and your way of doing things. Your voice is amazing for this style of humor, and I love it
Kev, I’ve been a fan of yours since you started making ESO videos…I am so proud to be a support of this channel. You deserve all your success and more. Keep it up!!
theres 300+ hours of free content all the way to Helm's deep (for a completionnist run) before you even have to think about dropping a penny....unless you drop the penny earlier to unlock some conveniences (double speed craft, swift travels, 5 bags inventory instead of 3, stuff like that)
Dude it’s so cool, worth it even if you just want to explore. Little details like being able to find the slain Balrog on a mountainside in the misty mountains is sweet
I got everything for free until gundabad expansion with some event (sometimes they give away free code that unlocks all the expansions except the newest one)
Started watching you a few years ago during ESO, i think you had under 100k still. Youve been consistently giving us hilarious and top tier content for years, your success is so deserved. Thank you Kevduit
Sup dude, just been recently watching your content and it is so smooth, almost like an offline edited stream, your goofy jokes and direct research on the video subjects are awesome This game despite the fact it's been around since 2007, was one of the best MMORPG until THIS age, I could't get the free package they were giving around 2 years and but yeah without a good computer (which was a beast but I started at the bottom on 2011 with a basic setup) seeing the same game I played with 15 and 13 years it was probably the best years of my life, even though a lot of the gameplay has microtransactions it doesn't stop from being super solid with the classes and races from LOTR, congrats on 10 years in the plataform, continue being your genuine self and make our enjoyment daily as you always does dude 💌
As a side note: you actually can't walk to Mordor at that point. The road you took requires you to pass through Lothlorien, which you can't enter without having some reputation with them (you will be shot by hidden guards). The other way around, through Dunland, over the Isen, and then towards Minas Tirith locks you at the siege of Minas Tirith until you have played that, after which it will allow you to switch to the time when Aragorn marches against the Black Gates. Those, again, will only be blasted open after another set of quests though you could try to enter Mordor thorugh the Morgul Vale. Either way: good luck not getting oneshot on the road.
That intro, man I almost teared up haha! I absolutely love your content, I always look forward to your videos and it's been awesome! I've only been here for the last year or two, but I am thankful for your work on this, appreciate all your content!
You're the only TH-camr I subscribed to during ESO whose content I still watch. You've truly managed to transcend the game and just become a variety content creator. Even so, you'll always be the Valkyn Skoria set to me.
I only recently discovered your channel about a month ago, I really enjoy you're "PyschoPath" playthroughs. You make amazing stories by doing the absolute worse things, I love the narration as you do them. They must be a shit ton of work too. Keep it up man.
Kevduit you are hands down one of the best TH-camrs on the platform. Your content is amazing and I think it’s funny how I found your channel through your play through of golem 😭
Kudos on 10 years online mate, I only recently started watching your work but its been a real pleasure seeing you dive (pun intended) into these MMO's XD. Also no word of a lie, my wife & I are now seriously considering playing this game based on the video, so cheers for that!
Followed you since I first encountered you in ESO many years ago. You've always been one of my favorite TH-camrs! Congrats on the 10 years, time has flown by
Hey new subscriber but I'm pretty sure I've binged almost all your videos at this point. Felt the need to comment on this video to say thank you man, your videos have been a real highlight in a not great time in my life. Even tho life's been sucky your videos always bring a smile to my face. Keep up the good work dude.
Been under the weather the past week, binging your vids keeping me sane. More than earned a subscribe. I do protest that you gather some friends and complete this Mordor journey.
So glad I found your channel back when 76 came out, fell in love with your content since. It's great to see you try different things (looking back to your elder scrolls online guides, compared to the 76 builds). Here's to another 10 years Kev!
Hey Kev, I’ve been watching you just for a few Months now, but ive really consumed you’re Videos these few Months and no matter the Quality of the Games that you play your Style of Playing and your Humor just enhance it so much. You’re Awesome and keep doing such a great Job
he perfectly embodied the sillyness we almost all had back in 2007 when it launched :P i cant recal how many times we ended a raiding night with 3 hours of Bree roof jumping while just chatting casually about anything
YOU! My favorite YT game content creator. So funny and, best of all, CLEAN! VERY few do this. I can watch it with my kids. Bless you and your team for being different.
I loved this video! This is my favorit game of all time. :) The graphics and combat might not look as good any more, but I love this game way beyond any other. :D
Dude honestly the fact you dont have 101010 mil subs yet but keep a small number shows that you stayed yourself and true to who you are. You are doing exactly what you love and the people who appreciate it stay. I just discovered your channel and I love your content. You are not a sellout, don't force yourself to ride every trend wave, but you do what you love, and we love you for that!
First complement to the game “wow this musics actually good”… lotro has done a fantastic job at giving every area distinct combat and landscape music, just the music of Rivendell and the lone-lands gives intense nostalgia
I've seen some people try TH-cam for a few years then quit. It takes dedication to keep doing it. Even some of us started back when there was no money involved. As long as you have fun, it can be a rewarding platform. 🙂
It’s a little late but finding your channel has brought me happiness and it’s all worth it and all anyone could ask for as a viewer we truly appreciate and thank you. Honestly inspiring, believing I maybe wanna try creating my own content again, I used to be a streamer on a app called live me had almost got verified and was contacted, but I knew the app wasn’t the place to grow and its pay out isn’t exactly worth it so I slowly fell off the app.. but I am figuring of trying again and wanted to thank you along the many others for inspiring me.
Congrats on 10 years! Glad I found you when you were making ESO guides, they really helped me out back then. You're journey actually made me a little emotional because a lot of people try the same thing as soon as they start playing. I remember 15 years ago when the game was in open beta, level 15 was the highest you could go but I still took the treacherous road to Rivendell and saw a LOT of other people making the trip too. It's not often I can say I had an actual "adventure" in a video game, but that certainly was one.
First time watcher here and I have to say, that intro about your TH-cam journey was so down to earth and self reflective it kind of blew me away. So refreshing and I will be sticking around
Love this ahaha. I've been playing this game ever since my dad showed it to me over 10 years ago (I'm in college now lmao). Definitely dated, but the community is so wholesome. Thanks for the content :)
please Blizzard fanboys wouldnt have tried it regardless of what you said about it. You could call it the greatest MMO in planet earth and they would have denounced it with righteous fervor. all while claiming WoW beats it on all fronts, even of those claims were false.
I found you through the Sekiro video you made ages ago and have fell in love with your content you've made ever since. From your epic voice, to your comedy, and the way your videos are laid out, every video feels unique and fun to watch. Thanks for posting so much recently as well, it's clear that you've gone the extra mile to pump out content and it shows. You're truly talented and I can't wait to see you hit 1 million one day ♥
Amazing game by the way, in the shire you can turn yourself into a chicken, and that makes you 1hp but real fast - and if you know the route (you gotta avoid certain stealthed mobs) and have unlocked moria you can walk crazy far, as a humble chicken a lot of clans used to race like that, shire to moria or rivendell, back in the day you can also play the instruments manually using the number keys 1-8
I love your content and it makes me always want to watch another! I just discovered you a week ago and have inspired me in many ways. I congratulate you on the 10 years and hope to be like you one day. Thanks and Cograts!
You're truly one of the highlights of my daily trip down the TH-cam rabbit hole. Most channels on here are shallow, condescending towards their viewers or pushing some sort of product from a sponsor as the best thing ever and if you don't purchase it, you're a loser with no friends and shouldn't be allowed to watch any content unless you pay up. You genuinely seem to enjoy bringing laughter and happiness into your videos and can always make me laugh out loud even when I'm at one of the lowest points in my life. I know it's not easy coming up with something that you think your viewers will enjoy and the ridiculous TH-cam algorithm is a constant battle for content creators. I know how much hard work it takes to just put out a single video and you have no idea if all of your hard work is even going to be seen because every video uploaded is subject to being demonetized or completely hidden from your own subscribers by TH-cam. It's easy for us as viewers to critique, criticize, insult and mock content creators because we have nothing riding on the success/popularity of the content that you work so hard on, and we can do it from the safety barrier of our phone screens without the fear of any consequences from our words. Congratulations on 10 years of success in the insanely competitive world of TH-cam. You run one of the most entertaining and hilarious channels I've had the pleasure of enjoying and I look forward to seeing how great your channel will continue to be in the future.
that moment when a 15 year old game manages a huge open world without boundaries but elder scrolls online is still has loading screens between different parts of the world lmao
Congrats on your decadeversary dude! Came across your channel a few months back from your mass effect psychopath vids. Your sarcastic comedic timing is top notch!
Hey kevduit, I found your channel a couple months ago and I just wanna say, it’s been a game changer, whenever there’s nothing to watch, I just go to your channel and find something to watch, so congratulations on the 10 years and keep up the amazing work
Hey man, congrats on your 10th Anniversary on TH-cam. I'm really glad for you, and though I only started seeing your stuff a couple months back in 2021, I'm glad that you've been around for as long as you have and continue to make such wonderful and entertaining content, whilst always looking to improve. It takes a lot of patience and humility to do something like that, and I'm happy it paid off for you. God bless you, and may you have even greater years ahead!
I found your channel I think around the time your Route 96 video came out? My first introduction to you was your Mass Effect Psychopath playthrough, and I was rolling the entire time! Your brand of humor hits me in a way most other creators just don't. Love what you do, keep it up, can't wait to see what you do next!
You’ve popped up on my fyp and honestly you’ve grown on me and I be looking forward to more videos coming out from you so thank you for giving me enjoyment when TH-cam falls flat.
Honestly Kevduit you are my favorite TH-camr. I usually never comment but I feel like now is the perfect time to do so. I have been here for 4 years watching almost everyone of your videos. I can not count the number of times you made me laugh to the point I was crying. You are honestly THE funniest TH-camr I have ever watched. Your Content is amazing even when the game you play is not. You truely have made TH-cam better just with you being present. I thank you for every laugh and second of content you have given me. Happy 10 years man!!! You deserve nothing but the best!
ahhh this made me nostalgic. I have a lifetime founders account for this game. Me and my dad alpha and beta tested this game, being the insane lord of the rings fans we are, we knew the lifetime sub was going to be worth it. I gotta say just from the monthly sub it has been well worth the i think $350.00 we paid not to mention the allowance you receive of turbine points, the expansions are literally paid for by themselves. I hope this game never dies off, even though i dont get to visit as often as i would like. The players left are a strong and tight knit community who are always willing to help. Keep the lotro content coming, cause there is limitless fun to be had.
@kevduit Congrats!! You're one of my absolute go to TH-camrs. Anyone that criticizes your humor or voice is lame. You crack me up all the time. Keep up the good work Canuck!!
I appreciate the time you put into your videos and content. I am always super pumped to see a new video from you. Taking time out of your personal life to give us amazing content. Thank you so much for caring about your fans!
The story at the start to your video really made me respect you because 5 years 300 subs and you stuck it out man you earned your TH-cam page, you worked hard af to get there and it didn’t happen over night, that’s a real hard worker right there
Hey congrats Kev! Been on this ride for a while now and all I gotta say is I've really enjoyed your content ever since I joined you! And if I can say anything, you totally need to play the game you used the intro music. Outer Wilds is a phenomenal game with a great soundtrack and story. Play it on stream or on your own, it's great either way so I implore you to play it! Thanks again for so much great content, and here's to another 10 (or however long) years on TH-cam!
Love to see your channel develop over the years, love how your style has stayed the same while becoming more refined over time. Killing it Kev, keep it up
Just so you know the low player number count is only on steam. Most people play this game through their client. Believe it or not there is still a rich playerbase after about 17 years. I grew up on this game.
Been watching your vids for a while now not realising how long you'd been on youtube. So i went back and watched a vid from 9 years ago (yeti hunting in far cry 4) and whilst not quite as polished or "upbeat" it's still Kevduit energy and its slaps, congrats on 10 years and in my humble opinion you really should have way more subs.
I gotta say I've only found you recent but I love that you play old games that a small amount of people remember or games that were received poorly. Keep it up man.
20:48 LOTRO FORESAW RDR2 😂😂😂 Im so proud of it. 26:40 its amazing how EACH SINGLE PLAYER'S RITE OF PASSAGE is travelling from Bree to RIVENDELL on LOW LVL. And there is always someone WHO DIES IN THE WAY 😂😂😂😂 36:18 BEST WAY TO END YOUR FIRST CONCATCT WITH THE GANE 😅😅😅
Hey, thanks for 10 unbelievable years on TH-cam, what a time it is has been!
👍
Congratulations man!
Hell yeah brother!!! lets go!
Happy TH-cam birthday Kev
10 years of unbelievable random yet awesome and funny content. Youre just something special Kevduit.
Lets go rock some more in the online world :)

the Griswolds on a middle-earth vacation ^^
Been playing this game for 15 years, haven’t laughed this hard or felt this nostalgic in a long time. Thanks to all of you, and congrats on 10 years

You’re really awesome Kevduit. Basically one of the funniest game review channels on TH-cam
I've been playing lotro within the last few months and it's been a lot of fun, getting to see the world of middle earth has been really fun. Congratulations on 10 years and I'm glad to be part of the community you've created. Your content is amazing thank you for your work!!
I broke at "it's blibo". I REALLY felt like you were an insane family of tourists who don't know poop. Laughed so hard.
Forced to play LOTRO...Just threaten me with a good time then.
Me: **here for the mayhem and chaos of your videos**
Kev: **makes a wholesome intro**
Me: **sobbing** You shall not have my tears!
Okay, seriously, congratulations!
This game is totally awesome. Most reviewers sadly never leave the noob area, shame, the gameworld is beyond epic.
The epic this for me when i bought the the game in a box with cds back when it launced for a full price -I expected gametime at least but got nothing So that was Lotr for me - a dead game out of the box strait away -I never looked back after installing -I didnt play and the game died soon also as a paid game -Still havnt played the game even if its awsum
I can't express how right is this way to play this game lol, you're doing what's in very spirit of The Hobbit - exploring, enjoying, sightseeing and singing. What a respectable gameplay.
Really lovely to see bigger youtubers making a video about my favorite game! Loved watching you guys traversing all those high level areas, had me on the edge of my seat. Also did not know milestones could have level requirements XD
And great to see you enjoyed the open world so much, it is very much worth exploring!
My dad and I play this game together and we absolutely love it. My dad has been playing almost since it came out and the amount of joy this game brings is amazing. Thanks for the great video!
I love this game, lol. The story is a lot of fun to go through. Probably my favorite MMO honestly.
Happy 10 Years Kev! I've been here for just 1, but it's great to see you growing so much!
Hey kevduit;
You're a good guy. Anyone that entertains the masses and isn't an asshole, is good in my books.
Thank you. Your work is not taken for granted.
@@Finis.Terrae Key phrase "And isn't an asshole"
@@Finis.Terrae I'm confused what you mean
Childhood flashbacks, I remember playing this with my oldest sister. I actually enjoyed it tbh and I'm not big on online games. But oh man congrats on tens years dude! That's a big milestone!
Found you through your ESO stuff ages ago, those insane builds. And seeing a new Kevduit video never fails to raise a smile. LOTRO was a game I loved for a good couple of years, and it was a nice nostalgia hit, especially when it's you and the gang having a jaunt around middle earth.
Congratulations on 10 years of unique and amazing content.
I find comfort in knowing every now and again I get blessed with the comedy of a Kevduit video. Thank you for your work, keep going.
It was honestly delightful imagining a family of hobbits just going on a nice vacation to Minas Tirith
Happy 10 years Kev!! Your particular brand of humour and degeneracy is much needed and loved. Keep it coming buddy.
ive played this game for 13 yrs now.. its a great game , true to the lore, the community in this game is amazing, as wellll the music community and the music fests that are held are only a few reasons why i STILL enjoy this game.. I had to add to my original comment , i lol'ed a lot watching your family's adventure!!😅 first time seeing a vid of yours.. you got a like and a subscribe for this .. thanks
I'm not even two minutes in to this video and you've brought tears to my eyes, you're amazing and I love your videos! I hope you don't forget all us little people who have been here maybe not since the beginning but long enough to watch you grow.
You folks are the reason I had an opportunity to try, I could never forget
This was great! I legit played this game for a little while and never saw Elrond, especially not Minas Tirith. Well played!
Hey, Kev, gotta say you've actively helped my mental state by being you for the last 2 years of my life. I love your content and your way of doing things. Your voice is amazing for this style of humor, and I love it
Kev, I’ve been a fan of yours since you started making ESO videos…I am so proud to be a support of this channel. You deserve all your success and more. Keep it up!!
Honestly this game looks solid as hell, just being able to explore a large scale middle earth seems worth it to me
theres 300+ hours of free content all the way to Helm's deep (for a completionnist run) before you even have to think about dropping a penny....unless you drop the penny earlier to unlock some conveniences (double speed craft, swift travels, 5 bags inventory instead of 3, stuff like that)
Dude it’s so cool, worth it even if you just want to explore. Little details like being able to find the slain Balrog on a mountainside in the misty mountains is sweet
@@kokocaptainqc you can grind and unlock every zone for free
@@dylan__dog indeed
I got everything for free until gundabad expansion with some event (sometimes they give away free code that unlocks all the expansions except the newest one)
Started watching you a few years ago during ESO, i think you had under 100k still. Youve been consistently giving us hilarious and top tier content for years, your success is so deserved. Thank you Kevduit
Sup dude, just been recently watching your content and it is so smooth, almost like an offline edited stream, your goofy jokes and direct research on the video subjects are awesome
This game despite the fact it's been around since 2007, was one of the best MMORPG until THIS age, I could't get the free package they were giving around 2 years and but yeah without a good computer (which was a beast but I started at the bottom on 2011 with a basic setup) seeing the same game I played with 15 and 13 years it was probably the best years of my life, even though a lot of the gameplay has microtransactions it doesn't stop from being super solid with the classes and races from LOTR, congrats on 10 years in the plataform, continue being your genuine self and make our enjoyment daily as you always does dude 💌
LOTRO is the one game I return to every few years and it just feels like home.
As a side note: you actually can't walk to Mordor at that point. The road you took requires you to pass through Lothlorien, which you can't enter without having some reputation with them (you will be shot by hidden guards). The other way around, through Dunland, over the Isen, and then towards Minas Tirith locks you at the siege of Minas Tirith until you have played that, after which it will allow you to switch to the time when Aragorn marches against the Black Gates. Those, again, will only be blasted open after another set of quests though you could try to enter Mordor thorugh the Morgul Vale.
Either way: good luck not getting oneshot on the road.
@@Halbam They removed the aggressive guards in Lothlorien some years ago, just to note.
@@mornarmo5833 Oh, they did? Cool, that was a good change.
That intro, man I almost teared up haha! I absolutely love your content, I always look forward to your videos and it's been awesome! I've only been here for the last year or two, but I am thankful for your work on this, appreciate all your content!
You're the only TH-camr I subscribed to during ESO whose content I still watch. You've truly managed to transcend the game and just become a variety content creator. Even so, you'll always be the Valkyn Skoria set to me.
I kept the valkyn skoria helmet look to always remember the beginning of it all. I appreciate you being around here for the long run!
the intro is enough to make a grown man cry
Bro that 10 year speech made me tear up 😭😭 icl you one of my fav TH-camrs but idk your twitch scedule
I only recently discovered your channel about a month ago, I really enjoy you're "PyschoPath" playthroughs. You make amazing stories by doing the absolute worse things, I love the narration as you do them. They must be a shit ton of work too. Keep it up man.
Thank you Spongeman! I'm working on my next BIG psycho series, a 3 part for the Dragon Age franchise... it gets pretty out of control, haha
Kevduit you are hands down one of the best TH-camrs on the platform. Your content is amazing and I think it’s funny how I found your channel through your play through of golem 😭
Kudos on 10 years online mate, I only recently started watching your work but its been a real pleasure seeing you dive (pun intended) into these MMO's XD. Also no word of a lie, my wife & I are now seriously considering playing this game based on the video, so cheers for that!
Hey thank you so much! You absolutely should, it's a great time
Followed you since I first encountered you in ESO many years ago. You've always been one of my favorite TH-camrs! Congrats on the 10 years, time has flown by
Hey new subscriber but I'm pretty sure I've binged almost all your videos at this point. Felt the need to comment on this video to say thank you man, your videos have been a real highlight in a not great time in my life. Even tho life's been sucky your videos always bring a smile to my face. Keep up the good work dude.
Thank you so much Kaleb. Keep your head up man, and always look towards those pockets of joy! You got this
LOTRO might have one of the largest maps of all gaming history. I love this game and the nostalgia that comes with it
You're such a amazing dude, keep on growing and keep on having fun tormenting your friends dude! Your vids always make me laugh.
Been under the weather the past week, binging your vids keeping me sane. More than earned a subscribe. I do protest that you gather some friends and complete this Mordor journey.
I would rather be forced to play LOTRO every day 12 hours a day for the next 10 years than to have to watch one episode of the new LOTR Amazon series.
So glad I found your channel back when 76 came out, fell in love with your content since. It's great to see you try different things (looking back to your elder scrolls online guides, compared to the 76 builds). Here's to another 10 years Kev!
Hey Kev, I’ve been watching you just for a few Months now, but ive really consumed you’re Videos these few Months and no matter the Quality of the Games that you play your Style of Playing and your Humor just enhance it so much.
You’re Awesome and keep doing such a great Job
he perfectly embodied the sillyness we almost all had back in 2007 when it launched :P i cant recal how many times we ended a raiding night with 3 hours of Bree roof jumping while just chatting casually about anything
"Dangerous places? How dangerous can they be?"
*Cut*
"Run Run Run!!"
Congrats on the 10 years man, it’s inspiring to see you stick with it even though I’ve only been following you for about a year
YOU! My favorite YT game content creator. So funny and, best of all, CLEAN! VERY few do this. I can watch it with my kids. Bless you and your team for being different.
I loved this video! This is my favorit game of all time. :) The graphics and combat might not look as good any more, but I love this game way beyond any other. :D
Dude honestly the fact you dont have 101010 mil subs yet but keep a small number shows that you stayed yourself and true to who you are. You are doing exactly what you love and the people who appreciate it stay. I just discovered your channel and I love your content. You are not a sellout, don't force yourself to ride every trend wave, but you do what you love, and we love you for that!
How have I never found this channel before. You guys are so unbelievably funny
First complement to the game “wow this musics actually good”… lotro has done a fantastic job at giving every area distinct combat and landscape music, just the music of Rivendell and the lone-lands gives intense nostalgia
we need a part 2
I've seen some people try TH-cam for a few years then quit. It takes dedication to keep doing it. Even some of us started back when there was no money involved. As long as you have fun, it can be a rewarding platform. 🙂
Definitely the most immersive MMO I've ever played
It’s a little late but finding your channel has brought me happiness and it’s all worth it and all anyone could ask for as a viewer we truly appreciate and thank you. Honestly inspiring, believing I maybe wanna try creating my own content again, I used to be a streamer on a app called live me had almost got verified and was contacted, but I knew the app wasn’t the place to grow and its pay out isn’t exactly worth it so I slowly fell off the app.. but I am figuring of trying again and wanted to thank you along the many others for inspiring me.
One of the best games out there,props man
Congrats on 10 years! Glad I found you when you were making ESO guides, they really helped me out back then.
You're journey actually made me a little emotional because a lot of people try the same thing as soon as they start playing. I remember 15 years ago when the game was in open beta, level 15 was the highest you could go but I still took the treacherous road to Rivendell and saw a LOT of other people making the trip too. It's not often I can say I had an actual "adventure" in a video game, but that certainly was one.
it was an unbelievable journey for sure, and one that really felt perilous yet rewarding! I wish I had more time to sink into this game
You're doing great, Kevin.
It's been a joy watching you grow as a creator.
You're also kind of funny!
Thank you too for everything! I wish you all the best for the rest of your journey.
Never played this, but the open world actually looks pretty cool
First time watcher here and I have to say, that intro about your TH-cam journey was so down to earth and self reflective it kind of blew me away. So refreshing and I will be sticking around
10 years
And a LOTRO video?
Must be heaven, will we see a LOTRO series?
Did you watch the intro? He literally says none of them have an intention of returning
@@PS1HagridEnjoyer you got a timestamp for it?
@@Flippirino @2:49
@@PS1HagridEnjoyer for some reason with the delivery on that I completely missed that
Love this ahaha. I've been playing this game ever since my dad showed it to me over 10 years ago (I'm in college now lmao). Definitely dated, but the community is so wholesome. Thanks for the content :)
please Blizzard fanboys wouldnt have tried it regardless of what you said about it. You could call it the greatest MMO in planet earth and they would have denounced it with righteous fervor. all while claiming WoW beats it on all fronts, even of those claims were false.
I found you through the Sekiro video you made ages ago and have fell in love with your content you've made ever since. From your epic voice, to your comedy, and the way your videos are laid out, every video feels unique and fun to watch.
Thanks for posting so much recently as well, it's clear that you've gone the extra mile to pump out content and it shows.
You're truly talented and I can't wait to see you hit 1 million one day ♥
Day 2 of asking Kevduit to play Battleship
Amazing game
by the way, in the shire you can turn yourself into a chicken, and that makes you 1hp but real fast - and if you know the route (you gotta avoid certain stealthed mobs) and have unlocked moria you can walk crazy far, as a humble chicken
a lot of clans used to race like that, shire to moria or rivendell, back in the day
you can also play the instruments manually using the number keys 1-8
Congrats on having 10 years on TH-cam, you deserved it mate.
I love your content and it makes me always want to watch another! I just discovered you a week ago and have inspired me in many ways. I congratulate you on the 10 years and hope to be like you one day. Thanks and Cograts!
lotro is a fun game
You're truly one of the highlights of my daily trip down the TH-cam rabbit hole. Most channels on here are shallow, condescending towards their viewers or pushing some sort of product from a sponsor as the best thing ever and if you don't purchase it, you're a loser with no friends and shouldn't be allowed to watch any content unless you pay up. You genuinely seem to enjoy bringing laughter and happiness into your videos and can always make me laugh out loud even when I'm at one of the lowest points in my life. I know it's not easy coming up with something that you think your viewers will enjoy and the ridiculous TH-cam algorithm is a constant battle for content creators. I know how much hard work it takes to just put out a single video and you have no idea if all of your hard work is even going to be seen because every video uploaded is subject to being demonetized or completely hidden from your own subscribers by TH-cam. It's easy for us as viewers to critique, criticize, insult and mock content creators because we have nothing riding on the success/popularity of the content that you work so hard on, and we can do it from the safety barrier of our phone screens without the fear of any consequences from our words. Congratulations on 10 years of success in the insanely competitive world of TH-cam. You run one of the most entertaining and hilarious channels I've had the pleasure of enjoying and I look forward to seeing how great your channel will continue to be in the future.
that moment when a 15 year old game manages a huge open world without boundaries but elder scrolls online is still has loading screens between different parts of the world lmao
Congrats on your decadeversary dude! Came across your channel a few months back from your mass effect psychopath vids. Your sarcastic comedic timing is top notch!
thank you so much! I have BIG plans for more psycho runs, currently working on my next 3 part series of another huge rpg franchise!
Hey kevduit, I found your channel a couple months ago and I just wanna say, it’s been a game changer, whenever there’s nothing to watch, I just go to your channel and find something to watch, so congratulations on the 10 years and keep up the amazing work
Hey man, congrats on your 10th Anniversary on TH-cam. I'm really glad for you, and though I only started seeing your stuff a couple months back in 2021, I'm glad that you've been around for as long as you have and continue to make such wonderful and entertaining content, whilst always looking to improve. It takes a lot of patience and humility to do something like that, and I'm happy it paid off for you.
God bless you, and may you have even greater years ahead!
I found your channel I think around the time your Route 96 video came out? My first introduction to you was your Mass Effect Psychopath playthrough, and I was rolling the entire time! Your brand of humor hits me in a way most other creators just don't. Love what you do, keep it up, can't wait to see what you do next!
Found you a few years ago when I first got into Elder Scrolls Online. Been loving the content you make, congrats on ten years!
You’ve popped up on my fyp and honestly you’ve grown on me and I be looking forward to more videos coming out from you so thank you for giving me enjoyment when TH-cam falls flat.
Honestly Kevduit you are my favorite TH-camr. I usually never comment but I feel like now is the perfect time to do so. I have been here for 4 years watching almost everyone of your videos. I can not count the number of times you made me laugh to the point I was crying. You are honestly THE funniest TH-camr I have ever watched. Your Content is amazing even when the game you play is not. You truely have made TH-cam better just with you being present. I thank you for every laugh and second of content you have given me. Happy 10 years man!!! You deserve nothing but the best!
Thank you so much Ryan, I really appreciated all those kind words :)
ahhh this made me nostalgic. I have a lifetime founders account for this game. Me and my dad alpha and beta tested this game, being the insane lord of the rings fans we are, we knew the lifetime sub was going to be worth it. I gotta say just from the monthly sub it has been well worth the i think $350.00 we paid not to mention the allowance you receive of turbine points, the expansions are literally paid for by themselves. I hope this game never dies off, even though i dont get to visit as often as i would like. The players left are a strong and tight knit community who are always willing to help. Keep the lotro content coming, cause there is limitless fun to be had.
@kevduit Congrats!! You're one of my absolute go to TH-camrs. Anyone that criticizes your humor or voice is lame. You crack me up all the time. Keep up the good work Canuck!!
I appreciate the time you put into your videos and content. I am always super pumped to see a new video from you. Taking time out of your personal life to give us amazing content. Thank you so much for caring about your fans!
The story at the start to your video really made me respect you because 5 years 300 subs and you stuck it out man you earned your TH-cam page, you worked hard af to get there and it didn’t happen over night, that’s a real hard worker right there
Hey congrats Kev! Been on this ride for a while now and all I gotta say is I've really enjoyed your content ever since I joined you! And if I can say anything, you totally need to play the game you used the intro music. Outer Wilds is a phenomenal game with a great soundtrack and story. Play it on stream or on your own, it's great either way so I implore you to play it! Thanks again for so much great content, and here's to another 10 (or however long) years on TH-cam!
I must have more. The bras family must live on and make it to Mordor
with a solid escort its totally possible
Love to see your channel develop over the years, love how your style has stayed the same while becoming more refined over time. Killing it Kev, keep it up
I’ve been watching for almost 7 years . And you’re one of the TH-camrs that inspired me to make my own TH-cam . Keep it up we love ya
Just so you know the low player number count is only on steam. Most people play this game through their client. Believe it or not there is still a rich playerbase after about 17 years. I grew up on this game.
Been watching your vids for a while now not realising how long you'd been on youtube. So i went back and watched a vid from 9 years ago (yeti hunting in far cry 4) and whilst not quite as polished or "upbeat" it's still Kevduit energy and its slaps, congrats on 10 years and in my humble opinion you really should have way more subs.
ah yes, I remember that yeti hunting video well, haha. what a ride it has been since those days!
I gotta say I've only found you recent but I love that you play old games that a small amount of people remember or games that were received poorly. Keep it up man.
20:48 LOTRO FORESAW RDR2 😂😂😂 Im so proud of it.
26:40 its amazing how EACH SINGLE PLAYER'S RITE OF PASSAGE is travelling from Bree to RIVENDELL on LOW LVL. And there is always someone WHO DIES IN THE WAY 😂😂😂😂
36:18 BEST WAY TO END YOUR FIRST CONCATCT WITH THE GANE 😅😅😅
