here in Brazil They also talk about going to school from miles away and walking, they didn't have backpacks or decent shoes heheueheuheuehu our parents reached an agreement to tell us about it... hauaheuahueuehsua
That's alot of Lembas bread for this journey. Edit: Thank you for all the likes! Tea is at 4, there's plenty of it. You are welcome any time, don't bother knocking.
Kind of the equivoque that Tolkien enjoyed to do, similar to Glorfindel's prophecy about Witch King. One does not; but two, yet a little chance they have.
Such a massive, beautiful, lovingly constructed world, faithfully crafted to be as like Tolkien's work as possible. LOTRO was a fantastic artistic achievement, and the devs have every reason to be proud.
Wow a lot of time went into this video... As someone downloading LOTRO right now, I appreciate this as I am looking forward to visiting some of these places... It looks massive!!.
Some regions require purchase to go through the various quests in that area, and they didn’t show every region of Middle Earth. Nor did they show every area of every region, and each region is huge
it really is. and with all the expansions that have come out over the years if you are a casual player like myself you really dont ever catch up. right as you think you are done exploring all areas BOOM new area opens up.
@@ardascholar5289 I fully agree. I was a beta tester for the game, and have played off and on since launch, AND have the "Lifetime Membership". I have all the expansions, but due to being an altaholic, and a casual player, I've yet to reach the level cap or see everything in every region. The game is quite massive...
@@MrAlexman13p Yeah, I remember Fornost, a place filled with the dead. I had just gotten to Angmar, and stopped playing a few months after that. There was nowhere else to go back then, if I remember right.
This was like reliving my childhood again. My father and I used to spend countless hours roaming the landscape and searching for new places to explore. We once tried to walk into Rivendell at level 17, attempting to rush past everything and failing, only to be respawned at bree and trying again! Those were the days
Ah yes, I bought this game as a little kid, super excited to play it, I installed it, only to realise it was a MMORPG which needed a permanent internet connection... Twelve year old me: *:,
Brought back so much memories. Spent so much time playing this game with friends. Makes me want to play again after many years sidelined. Just don’t have the time anymore. Great video, thanks!
Middle-earth is HUGE! the westlands are technically as big as entire europe... LOTRO is so downscaled to the extreme, so far its as big as one of the smaller greek isles only... and it's still HUGE! 14 hours man! Great video! I's like to see one walking the entire stretch Frodo ( orvany of the other fellows) goes in the books one day! Therevand back again 😉
You are overexaggerating, its common knowledge that Tolkien took inspiration from the size of europe and applied it to his middle earth maps, shaving them to look different but the size is still comparable to europe.
@@yassirholeist4447 There was a book released in 1981 called The Atlas of Middle Earth. It is a peripheral book but it is published with permission from the Tolkien Trust. Middle Earth and Europe are overlayed and they are roughly the same size, though Middle Earth has more landmass. It is a great book if you like maps.
I stopped playing before Rohan came out but I think I would’ve started in Ered Luin(spelling?) and taken the loading zone into the Shire before heading to Moria and coming out at Lothlorein. This was probably more cinematic starting in Forechel(yeah I’m not even gonna try with spelling)
RIP Ered Luin, Moria, Mirkwood, Northdowns, Angmar, Misty Mountains :'( Im glad you included Forochel though. This was a nice walk through memory lane, as I played the game from launch to level 85. So many memories were triggered as I watched you walk through familiar places :)
You can come back. I did after a decade. Just took a short break again. I was from launch to 75 I think not sure what it was but I stopped at 66 but back now.
@@DennisHalifax yeah i left at level 60 right after Mirkwood and came back a couple years later. Played up through Rohan and all the way to Black gate. Left again for another couple years and now I have gone through Mordor, Dwarf-holds and headed to Mina Morgul soon
yeah there were a number of places that got left out. but it makes sense for him to do it the way he did. this way there was no doubling back on anything. everything was fresh and straight forward each time he went through it. i would have liked to see him walk moria though. i still have not found a straight way through it without going a long long way around.
And Blue Mountains, and literally everywhere besides the Westlands. Imagine walking through the Taurethim jungles or with the wine merchants of Dorwinion?
This brings back beautiful childhood memories when i still played this game, everytime i entered the town of bree, i would be greeted with all sorts of community activities ranging from a music band to just a bunch of drunkards having a good time, makes me wish i still have a computer to play this on again.
@@TSPMikey I tried playing it and it's like a slot machine. Just a fuckton of flashing lights, text and numbers attacking you every 0,5 seconds. Unplayable.
So I did the math and because this is sped up 40 times and it is 21 minutes long so 40×21=840 Minutes =14 hours, this dude walked across a video game map FOR 14 FREAKING HOURS
In nornal speed it would probably take half the time even though he didnt visit the whole map so the whole game should take about 15 hours to walk? Without any search on the areas though, just walk across every area
I may be biased, since it’s the only MMO I’ve ever seriously played, but I’ve loved this game since I was a kid and it is 100% worth playing, it’s great. Really nice community too
I can't imagine how much effort this would have taken to do. And the music is so wonderful. Thank you for this. With all the crazy in the world right now, something this peaceful and oddly soothing was nice to watch. Truly, thank you.
It never cease to amaze me just how much work and effort went into making the maps of vast mmo's. Most of these worlds, from a high point of view, are gorgeous.
And often unappreciated. My friend tried to get me into Lotro years ago but I'm not a big mmo guy and I felt like it took forever to get anywhere. Ironically thats the part I think is the most epic part of this game now is how big it is. It is very cool, just not my cup of tea.
Although the graphics are old (but they aged so well), something about the map in LOTRO feels grounded and real. The scale of the land is huge! I have major nostalgia from this game. It was the only game I played until I was 12. The other kids thought I was weird lol.
I remember when the game launched and the massive lagg it had with it. Me and some old neighbors from another lifetime had all gotten off school and we went to get this mmo. We all took a taxi from Bree and we all froze outside the city. It was soo bad that random low level players were question our low level ass with... HOW DO U GET A MOUNT... I then told my friends in party chat to play it cool like this is a thing and we got so many people who added us asking for help because they thought we were GM's. I miss those days like Sam, merry and pip walking away from the elf harbor/ Frodo's ship gone in the distance. Would i relive those days Hell yeaa I didn't get far with this game but loved every min of it! Especially when you and the squad play music! We learned how to do the star wars imperial trooper theme in game!
@@snens7179 its better than this now, they revamped it a year or two ago and now its not bad, still pretty old fighting mechanics but if you're looking for Middle Earth scenery then there's no better place
Love the vids! LOTRO is so much fun! So many great places from the series! I wrote a smutty sword and sorcery novel. Legends of the Brave Bard - Song of the Sacred Dove.
I was completely captivated by this. I've only played LOTRO for a couple of hours and never realized the scope of it. I don't know much else of this game, but I can tell that the world feels real. I've played a lot of World of Warcraft, and although I don't know how the total m2 adds up in comparison, I always felt that WoW regions/biomes were too small. Every region in WoW is completely unique in its color palette/flora/fauna and everything is crammed into a very small area; because of this, WoW's world feels more like walking through a theme park than an actual world. In the real world, not every corner has a beautiful view or a distinct landmark, a lot of it is just _empty_ . This is what leads us to appreciate the views and landmarks in the first place. From watching this, I think the creators of LOTRO understood this - Strange, that a world's _emptiness_ is what makes it feel alive.
18:22 It took me two seconds to process it and only after then I jumped in my seat realizing that tree just WALKED over the road. I know the LotR lore but seeing it implemented in the game was unexpected.
I used to do the Run from ascalon to LA in GW1, I miss the feel of playing GW1 In 2005 and later. Nothing has quite... Captured that for me ever again.
Glad to see this popped up in my feed. Havnt played in a long time but miss the world and relationships. This will always be one of the greatest games to me
Around 5:10 I thought "and now we'll get a nice view of Rivendell, he'll take Bilbo's path and than we're nearly there" - but I guess, going all the way through Gondor is legit as well :D I've done this as well, although on warsteed in the slower canter, so it didn't take nearly as long. I also did it in 2 parts, I think one time starting at Erebor riding to my gondor house, and the next day continuing from there to my dwarven house in Ered Luin. Middle-Earth is so beautiful, some people on Bele used to make a tour following the path of the fellowship as close as possible, completely with little breaks for book trivia about what happens at those places.
So many memories playing this game man. I used to complain about lotro a lot because i was an avid PVPer and balance was never the devs' main concern but damn, this game is a gem. How they constructed the world combined with the music and ambience really makes you feel like you are travelling middle earth. I wish to have a similar lotr gaming experience in the future, but topping lotro certainly is not going to be easy.
alors là chapeau pour la performance j'y joue depuis 8 ans et j'ai parcouru la terre du milieu mais jamais à pied je sais pas combien de temps il vous a fallu pour le faire mais je suis sous le charme c'est une sacré dose de courage de le faire !!! encore felicitation pour la performance !!!! respect !!!!!
I would have loved to see little slowmode view of prancing pony, weather top, isengard, helms deep and so on. And maybe even the path the fellowship took? Anyway great video!
There are so many people who have tried to do a fellowships rendition on the lotro map but due to the divergences of the fellowship a lot of people have abandoned it. Talking Tolkien, another TH-cam channel, started doing a walkthrough with exercepts from the books or Tolkien himself to follow along on the journey along with LOTRO Easter egg references to the fellowship's passage, but so far the channel has barely made it to the Lone Lands. Basically barely beginning
now i feel dizzy but also heavily nostalgic since this was my first mmo back in 2009-2012. it is so beautiful in terms of landscape, music and overall immersion. sadly the gameplay part was always kinda lacking if we are honest to ourselves. but lotro will always have a special place in my heart.
My mom drove and picked me up from school every single day. It was only like a 10 minute drive. But I'll still tell my kids this is how I went to school. It's tradition.
The scale of the game is brilliant. Not just map size, but the scale of the architecture and landscape/foliage is perfect. Exactly what you want in an MMO.
It's great how every area after the Shire feels more and more dangerous. Less fences and walls in between the Shire and Bree, looks less lived in and a bit more wild. Then the Lone Lands. Great atmosphere.
Great vid. Excellent choice of route. I did a north to south ride many years ago using Moria and Lothlorien as the bridge to Rohan. Now the map has grown I was thinking of doing another.
playing as a hobbit and venturing out of the Shire, everything feels so much bigger than you. It really gives you that sense of a world much larger than yourself
it’s still going! it doesn’t have the massive player base that WoW etc. have but its fans are very loyal. also one of the nicest MMO communities out there

Imagine if the 14 hour recording got corrupted before export 💀💀💀
I was expecting a relaxing walk across the beautiful landscapes that are Middle Earth, instead I got:
Sonic goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Her: Hey you should come over
Me: Yeah but you live so far away
Her: My parents are on vacation
Me:
Watched the whole video. Thank you for this masterpiece I enjoyed it to the fullest. ❤️
Looks so lonely when you walk like this
This brings back so many wonderful memories of this game.
I would have loved to see little slowmode view of prancing pony, weather top, isengard, helms deep and so on. And maybe even the path the fellowship took? Anyway great video!
werskantti hey! Are you enjoying lotro?
There are so many people who have tried to do a fellowships rendition on the lotro map but due to the divergences of the fellowship a lot of people have abandoned it. Talking Tolkien, another TH-cam channel, started doing a walkthrough with exercepts from the books or Tolkien himself to follow along on the journey along with LOTRO Easter egg references to the fellowship's passage, but so far the channel has barely made it to the Lone Lands. Basically barely beginning
it really makes you respect the music they created for each area
music is just on point
man do i love this game
Boromir:"one does not simply walk into Mordor..."
this guy:
But he didnt walked in mordor. He just walked near it
now i feel dizzy but also heavily nostalgic since this was my first mmo back in 2009-2012. it is so beautiful in terms of landscape, music and overall immersion. sadly the gameplay part was always kinda lacking if we are honest to ourselves. but lotro will always have a special place in my heart.
i sitll play ddo
Somehow i feel nostalgic evwn tho i dlnt know this game
Same lol
Glad this was recommended to me, hope amazons lotr mmo turns out to be just as fun as this was for me
Umm its a series not a game mate
1 4 H O U R S .
Thanks for the amazing video. Brings back many memories shame you did not visit the ettenmoors …home of the brave
Wow such a nice video. I am glad this is on TH-cam
“One does not simply walk into Mordor...” This applies here
This game is awesome 👌thanks for doing this I bet it took forever
Parents: “so your bicycle is stolen, walk your way to school then!”
Me:
Good job!
Please do a part II, walking through Ered Luin, North Downs, Angmar, Moria and Mordor
Kinda makes me wanna play this.
My mom drove and picked me up from school every single day. It was only like a 10 minute drive. But I'll still tell my kids this is how I went to school. It's tradition.
21:28 I'd say you were taking the long way round, You could go through the mines of Moria,
The scale of the game is brilliant. Not just map size, but the scale of the architecture and landscape/foliage is perfect. Exactly what you want in an MMO.
Dang!!! I love this video!
Why is this one of the best yt videos?
really woindering how the game will look after that graphical overhaul happening in 2022
Eh thats not the same game
They are remastering it?
@@iiliiliiliil3444 graphical overhaul is what they mentions but everyone else calls it a remaster
Yep, we got two more years to enjoy the game
@@jeffreypoernomo8771 yeah
It's great how every area after the Shire feels more and more dangerous. Less fences and walls in between the Shire and Bree, looks less lived in and a bit more wild. Then the Lone Lands. Great atmosphere.
This must have been painful to do
Hell has internet?
This must be one of the most absurd, but at the same time, enjoyable walkthrough of all time.👌🏻
There's no way I could have the patience to do this haha. How'd you do it?
With patience
He get paid for it you know
low social life
Download a robot
Wanted that true Tolkien experience.
Honestly have no idea why im watching this. I just cant stop
20:58 * he thinks. "Shit did I lock the front door of my hobbit cave?
Great vid. Excellent choice of route. I did a north to south ride many years ago using Moria and Lothlorien as the bridge to Rohan. Now the map has grown I was thinking of doing another.
Honey, I'll go get some beer 😂
playing as a hobbit and venturing out of the Shire, everything feels so much bigger than you. It really gives you that sense of a world much larger than yourself
When your dad leaves for milk and never comes back.
Lol, would be fun joke if it didnt happen to me
@@lysetsfyrste nah its a shit joke kid who made it has no personality
Your a legend for doing this.
This was such an underrated MMO. How this nvr became popular I’ll nvr know
it’s still going! it doesn’t have the massive player base that WoW etc. have but its fans are very loyal. also one of the nicest MMO communities out there
