Only 4 races in LOTRO

So, I haven't made it as far as installation yet, because I've just opened the packaging and discovered that I only have the choice of four races in The Lord of the Rings Online: Man, Dwarf, Elf and Hobbit (to me always considered to be slightly akin to Luke Skywalker – essential to the plot, but ultimately more than a tad annoying).

This led me to start reading the manual. Normally, I'm a play the game and work out what on earth I'm doing later on, but I figure that if I'm going to chose a character that I'm going to play for hopefully a long time, I don't want to get it wrong now. Unfortunately, I normally favour magic user of some kind, but having read the manual, it appears that should I survive long enough, my Lore Master may get to cast the level 12 spell, Gust of Wind. I may have to rethink what class I choose, which may also lead me to stray from my normal elf persona.

I intend to watch the class videos carefully before making any choice. Hmm, Shadows of Angmar has already got me concerned and I haven't even put the DVD in the drive yet. I know it has received great reviews – our own PCGZine gave it a Gold Award – but come on, "Gust of breeze"?
