The 5th aniversary video brings back many, many memories for me. This screenshot is from the day Moria launched and is of me discovering Eregion for the first time.
Happy 5th Anniversary! I love you, LotRO! I love you, Middle Earth!
This was the first occasion I played the game after i've got my new computer....
finally I could enjoy the beautiful scenery of the game in its true form!
Too bad.. I can only summit one picture, I have a tons more:) and all are beautiful:)

my favourite zone of lotro
Traveling through the shire during the RP event version of the pillgramage of the elves to the sea, not many people, although the route is beautiful

This beautifull screenshot was taken to show how quiet places can turn into big battles, how you have dark caves with enamies no matter where you are in the middle earth.
That is the beauty of Lotro..
I started in beta and I love the game, is one of those games that you want to play listening to good music , it is like reading a book

I've used LOTRO screenshots as my desktop for years now. I'm always looking for the off-the-beaten-path places for a change of scenery. Nen Harn is a place where you never really spend much time questing, but it's very stunning. Even on a bleak day, like this screenshot, it's beautiful.

Lovely! I love the art in LOTRO.
Partying in Moria with members of my guild
The scenery is so breath-taking and the creatures so well-designed in LOTRO so I take a lot of screenshots when I'm playing. It's only natural that I don't always look where I'm going for fear of missing a great shot. Perhaps I should look more often because I end up in situations such as this. I don't think I'll ever get the stench out.
Happy Birthday LOTRO! You have captivated us for 5 years!
Ah the day my mount kept vanishing as I rode through Bree, leaving my RK floating. Decided to sneak up and pretend a cow was my mount. It really amused me.
This is my runekeeper, it took a while before I got the right shot (if you know that skill has a pretty long cool-down) I really hope you guys like it
I made it my screensaver right away =D
It's taken in Gondamon and I thought It looked quite cool, hehe

I felt a little sad on that day. But LOTRO always amazes me with it´s beautifull scenery. Things like this always cheer me up
Enedwaith is and continues to be one of my favorite regions in the game. This was one of the first screenies I took:
Since I started playing LOTRO, I was always looking forward to wander around the outskirts of Isengard and challenge Saruman.
This beautiful picture is taken from the 3man instance Fangorn's Edge, while you could just sit and watch the beautiful scenery around Orthanc
One of the most beautifull places in Middle Earth.Forocel by night
One of the most beautiful places in middle Earth.Forocel by Night
One of the best places in Middle Earth...Forocel by Night
A peaceful place: the Shire
I hope everything is ok!)
My favourite memory so far is something very subtle as it's about the beautiful locations and the atmospheres of the Middle Earth.
After a long day of battle, traveling through rain and horrible places I've been able to take some rest. Maybe stop the fight for some hours, and work hard on my artisan crafts...
I first come back to Bree, and there was rain and greyness everywhere. Through my window, it was the winter. Every single tree was looking like dead, and the rain was so strong against the glass that the noise was covering the music.
Then I remember I had some quests to do in the Shire. And look: as soon as I pass through the Brandywine, the clouds disapear and everything was so bright! Even a rainbow crossed my way! With the happy sound of the distant birds it was very comforting. Then I take this screenshot to remember.

A simple rainy day in the Shire... I really like this photo
Not one of the best pictures I have, considering that I seem to have had my screenshot folder wiped. Made this one a few days ago while leveling my champion.
Why is this my favourite? Well, I had just finished Evendim. That means -- no more swimming!
Click to see the big version.
As a Lore-master, my search for knowledge has led me to many exotic and beautiful locations.
Celondim
The Elven town in Ered Luin overlooking the river Lhûn. We sometimes tend to forget how beautiful the starting area's can be if we don't stop to watch. Sometimes I go here just for some rest.
I navigated via my vague memories of the Fellowship's route in The Fellowship of the Ring, spent a lot of time trying to avoid or run like heck from much higher level mobs, and was incredibly proud of myself when I finally made it. Since this toon is my first ever to get further east than the Lonelands, it was a heart-stopping trip, but the beauty of Rivendell when I got there was totally worth it.
This is one of my earliest screenshot, from back pre-Moria when my first character, my burglar, reached North Downs. I loved how the aurochs look - so adorable! So good at stomping me into a pancake, too... Still love the aurochs, they're one of my favourite mobs to see roaming around.

Forochel has always been my favorite region especially with these amazing northern lights. I'm from Finland and since most of the names in Forochel are variations from the Finnish language I've definitely had some good laughs there. When I went there on my first character it was hilarious to see NPC's who share the same names with my real-life friends; by the time I had explored the whole region I had seen pretty much all of my friends' names there.
