The Lord of the Rings Online/Trivia


 * Development Hell: The game was in development for 9 years, starting work as a top-down 2D game in the style of Ultima Online in 1998 and eventually morphing into a post-World of Warcraft 3D game in 2007.
 * Fan Nickname: The region Evendim is often referred to as Everswim, due to the giant lake that takes up a big part of the region which players have to cross on multiple occasions. The amount of necessary swimming across the lake has been reduced with later revamps of the area, with more swift-travel options to get across it having been added, but there are still times when you will be forced to go for a swim to get to your destination.
