New player needing some guidance.

Good evening everyone

While I am waiting for the files to download, I am looking for a bit of help and direction.

I am currently taking a break from FFXI, a few things on there were getting to me a bit.

Saw Lotro in the shop, and being a fan of all things Lord Of The Rings, decided to give it a go.

Is there any tips you could give me, or directions to a basics guide?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance for your time and help in what is a fairly big jump for me.
