Update: Game is starting to feel like WoW's endgame to me, at least from the perspective of a solo player. I log on, do dailies, a skirm or two, and decide if I want to do some deed/rep grinding. I contemplate rolling an alt, but am filled with dread at the notion of grinding the same rep/deed stuff that I hated doing the first time.
I'm going to hold on until enough people are around to start running through instances. I think that might be entertaining enough to hold my interest until the next content update. Are there even enough people at or near endgame in the kin to give me hope that dungeon runs might take place?
If you grind deeds/traits on alts you are doing it wrong. Or you are Rein. I just rolled a new guard - we could be alt buddies! |
No Nerf, but I put a link to this very thread and I said that you all can guarantee for my purity. I even mentioned your case, and see if they can take a look at your lawn from a Michigan perspective.

Well I am active. I have finally figured out guardian and running GB is really fun. The minnie ran ga (at 31) for the first time and i found mysellf resting for a half an hour untill my pulse rate went down. Im runing guardian, warden (great solo), captian, Rune keeper and minnie with an out of guild champion which is supring fiun to play. All in all great game but figuring out how to hold aggro in group runs has made the whole exp much more fun.

I started with nothing, and I still have most of it
I'm not a complete idiot... Some parts are still on backorder.

Game shines with groups. GA is one of those instances designed to test you... there are a few like it. Champ is definitely fun - its all about whirling blades of DEATH. Glad you are enjoying yourself! |

Agree. Went into GA over the weekend and had lots of group fun. We wore GB out, the dungeon scaling is huge! Do whatever you can to get a group, lots of fun there.

Until we have more 65's logging on, that chest is my primary motivation to play daily.

Oh! I was wondering why people were always just hanging there. Time to login and check out the chest. :)

If you want them to come ( the 60 - 65) Please schedule an event and thread. Best way to herd casual cats IMO. I'm all for this kind of thing, just needs to be set up beforehand I think. Myself and the miss are good for most Wednesday nights, and week ends. ( As a bonus I can put it in the MOTD as well) |

If I knew when I could play more than 6h in advance, I would. I expect that's the case for many here. If we have a few people on, great. If not, I'll just log or do a skirm or something. |

Anyone else find this weird bug: ungrouped, if I tag a mob someone has already attacked or vice versa I no longer can use my hotbar. All my skills on that bar (in this case all melee skills) are frozen. I have to completely relog. This has happened a few times since F2P launched.

No sir. Will give it a try when I get a chance. |

I have to confess that I don't think I'd even use the skeleton horse if I got it. I like the 200 hp that my gray warden horse has.
This festival is eating up my wardrobe slots. I had to buy 10 from the TP vendor.

Even disregarding the crappier cosmetics, I'm looking at getting a few for permanent use. The falling leaf cloak is hot.

Yes. Yes, its is. I got the raven helm and cloak today for my Burglar to look 10 shades of burgling awesomeness. That leaf cloak is next along with a few other trinkets. Getting a little burned out on the haunted burrow though... well, the spiders that web you, at least. |

so going F2P and having more players in the game also seems to help the economy. Amazingly enough.
Im selling all my lowbie drops and lowbie crafted gear. Always.

Cosmetic items. o.O
On my hunter, I ran the horse races over the past few days, and acquired enough of the tokens you need to buy both of the Harvestmath horses.
Then I started exploring the haunted cellar. It took me less than a day to acquire enough tokens to buy the leaf and raven cloaks. With the apple-bob and the mystery wing treasure chests on one-hour timers, it feels like big rock candy mountain time.
I only actually finished one cellar quest.

If you like masks, don't forget to do the quests in the dwarf and elf starting areas as well. Elf mask is a bunny and the dwarf bucket head mask is pretty fun.
If you pick and choose the quests you like, check the chests behind the mystery door every hour, and bob for an apple on the hour, you'll have all the stuff from the festival in a few days. I think I've gotten 8 haunted trees as drops from the chests. Shame because it looks awful in my yard.

I see one of the regular LotRO contributors on Massively is joining the Community team. Not sure how I feel about this, inasmuch as I don't have huge expectations from advertising driven portals but it still feels like... collusion? self-promotion? Her posts were always pretty much cheerleading everything Turbine, which didn't help a year ago when we were all waiting on updates and fixes (like LM debuffs on boss mobs, etc.). |

I came across her blog a while ago, didn't know she wrote for Massively. Being a community rep doesn't seem to be what she wants to do though, judging from her output. I mean, she wrote a three part article series on how Mortal Online is a buggy piece of shit. Seriously, who does such a thing?
