'''''The Lord of the Rings Online''''' (aka ''LotRO'') is yet another MMO on the market. While nowhere near as popular as [[World of Warcraft]], it has a healthy player base that has grown since their recent expansion. Often compared against [[World of Warcraft]] (and which MMO isn't, these days) it holds up well enough. Its emphasis is less on [[Player Versus Player|PVP]] and Raiding and more on Roleplaying, Crafting, and Socializing (though [[Player Versus Player|PVP]] and Raid elements are present and Raiding is an important part of the game). With a low emphasis on [[Player Versus Player|PVP]] and a high emphasis on RP and social aspects, LotRO has managed to attract one of the nicer and more mature MMO communities around.

** [[Evil Dead|Quartermaster Ash]]: "Do you see this? [[This Is My Boomstick|This is my Orc-cleaver]]."

** There is one area in the game which goes by the name Dôl Dínen, [[Bilingual Bonus|which is Sindarin for]] [[Silent Hill]]. Given that the areas inhabitants are mostly orcs and trolls, this might be a coincidence.

** In a somewhat secluded corner of Enedwaith, there is a small [[Monty Python and the Holy Grail|cave with a lone bunny inhabiting it, surrounded by corpses]].

** One of the musical instruments available to Minstrels is the ''moor cowbell'', a nod to [[Christopher Walken|Christopher Walken's]] Saturday Night Live sketch with Blue Oyster Cult.
