There's a one page preview of Middle Earth Online at ActionTrip, peppered with some screenshots. Here's a part of it:
Another interesting facet of the game is that, as you advance in experience, and complete quests, word of your exploits begins to spread, and your character can become a real hero. That doesn't mean you'll get to play as Aragorn, Boromir, or Frodo - I assume that all of you have already figured that one out, since this is a MMORPG and we can't have thousands of Frodos and Gandalfs running around the place. Instead the player creates a character, which then gets to travel to various lands, taking part in quests and enjoying your standard dose of MMORPG fare. Wait a sec… did I say "standard?" Scratch that. After all, this is the first time you'll finally be able to create your ideal avatar and explore the extensive realms of Middle-Earth. This won't be a usual MMO ride at all. The game has a unique choice of weapons and items that are going to be at your disposal; some of these will include rare relics, powerful scrolls, mountable trophies, exotic jewelry, helpful tools, precious gems, and so on. Another good point is that players can take the opportunity to craft their very own items by using some of the precious available metals, like gems and mithril. Later on, it will be possible to craft so-called "legendary items" that can match the power of Boromir's Horn of Gondor and Bilbo's magic sword Sting. This creates an excellent foundation for crafting unique items and it will surely be a crucial moment in the game. Additionally, players will have the option to purchase upgradeable dwellings, which will store all your items and valuables.
