The Lord of the Rings Online

What is The Lord of the Rings Online?

The Lord of the Rings Online is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) for Microsoft Windows set in a fantasy universe based upon J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth writings. It takes place during the time period of The Lord of the Rings. The game's milieu is based on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

Overview

It adds registry entry for the current user which will allow the program to automatically start each time it is rebooted. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The primary executable is named lotroclient.exe. The setup package generally installs about 98 files and is usually about 1 GB (1,075,606,472 bytes). The software utilizes the Nokia Qt cross-platforms C++ framework.
