Some you meet by accident, others you might have to do a quest for."What's more, you also get to visit all the areas of Middle-earth as the game unfolds. When it launches, LOTRO will contain the areas in the first book such as Hobbiton, Bree and Rivendell. Rather like World Of Warcraft, each race has its own starting area in the world, although at the moment, only the race of man is fully implemented.
