The basic download of LOTRO from Steam is 17.7 Gig-a-bytes. That download is 18+ months out of date. Since then there have been two Expansions (Riders of Rohan and Helm's Deep) plus numerous Patches, fixes, and additional modules -- nominally another 8 Gig-a-bytes.

How Big is the Download
Hi. Looking into this game for a few college friends to try out. I have search and looked at the Sidebar help, but cannot find out how big the initial download of LoTRO is. Thanks.
Update: Downloaded Dec 07, 2017.
- Installer is downloaded first and saved as .exe file. It is 50MB.
- The game download was 28GB. I selected the option to download High Res files.
- After the download, it took about 35 minutes to install the download and be ready for launching.
- I had to go into 'Options' to get my video resolution and settings correct. It appears to have launched with the default which was 1080 (I think).
