4thofelevenDecided to give Lord of the Rings Online’s Monster Play a go, created an orc character and set to work clearing the Ettenmoors of nasty, filthy hobbitses and elves.
I must admit, I was really impressed with how well my fellow players all managed to role-play being one of Tolkien’s orcs – crude, insulting, inarticulate, spoiling for a fight yet abandoning their comrades the moment the battle turned against them, and constantly squabbling over the spoils of war. I really felt like I was fighting alongside the degenerate hordes of Mordor!
