I am a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings. The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar launched in April 24, 2007 was also very popular. The latest installment Mines of Moria will include a higher class cap and much more quests and contests. The online virtual world includes avatars from both the books and the movies.
