RE: Lord Of The Rings Online Feels Like Home

Great! This video actually is playing.
I am sleepy. I had to resolve an issue last night with a crowbar that deprived me of sleep. Such are the responsibilities our duty to society demands of us. Today is a better day.
Edit: now that I can see the game, I am reminded of Evercrack back in the day, which I found very immersive despite it's sometimes puerile mechanics and primitive graphics attainable at that time.

Ever Crack indeed.
It's sad how they blurr the lines of reality and a fiction game world. More and more people are incentivised on these online games now to live in these game worlds, via in-game Fashion Wars, known as comsmetics (look at Guild Wars 2 end game), or survivalism (like Valheim, Minecraft type games), or Housing (LOTRO, Second Life).
These are basically precursors to NFTs in the centralized world of video gaming.
I don't spend much time on Online games, in fact these may probably be the last MMORPG videos i will do on LOTRO. Or any other for that matter. The digital video game landscape is filled with people who have no love for real life. They love their smart phones more (i bumped into a few people today walking, eyes clued to the smart phones every second of the way) and more. They walk around with Apple Airpods, blocking out the sounds of the natural world, even if their phone is out of sight.
Soon they will track people and further weaponize meta-data through these games. The loot-box addiction will be propelled by NFT technology...which means a huge gaming blockchain with AAA online MMO game titles built on it perhaps...and then it's game over...
