Last night I made level 60 with my Guardian. I mostly played this game solo. I have not enjoyed an MMORPG like this for while. I also bypassed crafting as I leveled to leave it as my end game content. As a reward for myself I purchased a player house outside of Thorin’s Gate in the local neighborhood and it is fully decorated. Hail!

Grats on level 60 ^_^

I'm slowly making my way onwards from level 16 with an Elf Hunter.

I've never played the game, but I feel congratulations are still in order.  Way to go!

Lotro has unfortunately 1 serious issue.

Now that you have gotten your lvl 60, whats next ? End game content is pretty miserable.

With a decent lvl 60 content, Lotro would be a great game.

End game content is the same for most MMORPG's that I know of. However the aspects of the game I have left for lvl 60 are the same for most MMORPG's such as PvP, Crafting, Reputation points for gear, and instances. Lothlorien and the "Mines of Moria" have areas for level 60. Mirkwood will be released this summer for level 60. And for a game 2 years old their first expansion "Mines of Moria" is pretty good.  I believe an expansion is coming this fall with a level increase.

What the above poster is far from true.
 

At the end game there are instances (all 58+)

  • Great Stairs
  • Skumfil
  • Sixteen Hall
  • Dark Delvings
  • Forges
  • Fil Gashan
  • Turtle Raid (single boss instance)
  • Watcher Raid (single boss instance)
  • new 12-man raid (7 raid bosses)
  • three 3 man instances
  • And Hall of Crafting

 

This makes 11 instances (all between 30 mins to 3-4 hours) First six instances drop tier 1 radiance gear + watcher. Turtle gives varius rare second or first age items, new 12 man raid +3 new 3 man dungeons give tier 2 radiance gear.

There is also plenty of solo-instances for lvl 60 characters. The "end-game" in LotrO is now pretty good actually and there is alot of stuff to do. Since release LotrO have always lacked content but with book 8 there is more than enough things to keep you occupied.

And grats to 60 :)

If WoW = The Beatles
and WAR = Led Zeppelin
Then LotrO = Pink Floyd

Gratz! I recommend looking around now for a nice friendly guild if you aren't in one so you can go on raids and stuff. It's also fun helping others now you're at the top!  LOTRO is the only game I've ever kept playing beyond the level cap.

true for most other MMO's not so for LOTRO - unless you love reading the same book twice or watch the same movie twice.

But End game in LOTRO is pretty simple...

 

wait for an expansion.

or

play another game.

Grats! I have to say I'm really impressed with the direction this game has gone and the amount of content they've added since launch.  Turbine has really done well with this game and I'm having a blast and so glad I decided to give this game another go after leaving not long after launch.

Hope you continue to enjoy your time running around Middle Earth as I am.
