I am also playing Lord of the Rings Online, though I have only just started and I am on Landroval server, the unofficial RP server. I have a level 16 Hobbit Minstrel named Landion. It is really quite a good representation of the Tolkien world described in the books, and those who have read the books will be constantly reminded of them while they are playing this game. I would say that Turbine has done a very good job, much better then I expected, of creating a virtual Middle Earth.
One of the coolest features is the music system. In the game you can purchase instruments and play your own music on them. All the notes are mapped to your keyboard and there have become some extremely talented musicians, of which I am not one! lol its quite hard to learn to play.
However even the more challenged players, like me, can play like a pro with .abc songs. You save .abc songs to the game directory and then in game type /play song name and you will play the song. However anyone can tell if you are playing for real or if you are playing an abc song. When playing notes stream off of the intrument into the air, it looks quite good, however the notes of a real player and the notes of an abc song player look different.
I have seen small groups of two or three in the Prancing Pony and they were really very good! They had my Hobbit dancing to their music!
