What happens with the writ houses if you let the rent lapse? I assume your poo poo gets bundled into escrow like the normal ones but do you need to buy writs again to get it back?

I can't seem to find a definitive answer for this one. You do lose the house, and you do get some writs back, but some people said they got them all back, some people say they got a partial refund. So not sure on exact rules. I think it's something like 120 days from not giving rent that you lose the house, and you can pay way in advance. Not sure how much in advance, but some amount in advance.

The Travel to Premium House skill has a 1 minute cooldown and gives you quick access to a stablemaster with a lot of swift travel options, which can be nice. Also, when I let mine lapse I got back 5 writs out of the 6 that it cost. gnoma fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Nov 25, 2022 |

Still very good, but there are a few sections in the game where being able to jump back to long-range stables every few minutes is quite handy, especially during festivals involving the Party Tree.

For what it's worth, you also get a travel power to the kin hall and can get one to a kinmates primary residence. My buddy moved in down the street from me so I get two per hour to the shire and one to our kin hall. On top of being a warden...

Took an unexpected 4 year hiatus and I'm excited to finally get back into it. Between Rings of Power (I liked it so whatever), rereading the Silmarillion, Hobbit and now working on the trilogy, I wanna redo the epic book storyline from the beginning and get back into Middle earth. Bought the new expansions and stuff while they were on sale yesterday so I got a 130 and a 120 boost for some new guys that I can cap out pretty quick and then power through the epic book story. All my other chars are from the lvl 100 cap era so that will be fun trying to get them up to speed lol. Missions are pretty awesome for that though so it shouldn't be too much trouble. It was wild logging back in for the first time comparing my decked out 100 Guardian to a 140 Guardian with 10x the HP and stats like drat guys what is going on out there in Gundabad

Where do you buy premium housing writs? JFC they really need to overhaul their store(s). How the gently caress can it be this complicated to figure out how to give a mmo money?

make sure you're first logged into a character that can purchase a house (level 15+) before opening the store

Last night I couldn't look at anything housing related, including the sale, on the store. However, it worked just fine today. You can go straight to Writs if you click on a For Sale sign in front of whatever plot you want to buy if you click on the Writs button at the bottom of the info sign. Maybe that'll help if you can't see writs normally.

There's no way to hide or resize the questing box on the map screen without also hiding the quest markers right? I ask because them bumping the size to account for increase of tracked quests has made it cover even more of the map and it feels in the way.

All the various maps always have a different quadrant that's dead space where you can put it, which means constantly shuffling it here and there as you move around. Not the worst UI crime a 00's era MMO has committed, but still annoying.

I haven't played since Isengard. If I were to come back and pay for VIP, I'd still have to pay for the two latest expansions (Gundabad and Shadow), right?

Came back to the game after years and years away and found I had 12K lotro funbux in my account. I'm not sure where they came from cause I don't do large buy-ins, but I'm having a lot of fun with doing the Archet newbie story with a hobbit brawler now.

I'm also running a new Hobbit Brawler after they had the half-price sale on Brawlers. Since I already finished Before the Shadow on a new Captain character, I did the Archet stuff and, boy, the Brawler seems to hit ridiculously hard compared to other classes. Add in the ability to get your mount at level 1 (well, if you have a store-mount, at least), and can ride around the tutorial zone with it, I finished Archet in short-order, then went around the Shire just punching everything to collect Deeds.

I've finished the Epic Quests that were added when Mines of Moria were launched. I had good time overall and I think Moria is the best underground zone I've seen in the MMO. Although I have two complaints. The first was the required Skirmish instances on the Epic Quest line. I had ignored this feature and when I got to the first of the required three; I had to backtrack to a different outpost to run through the intro tutorial. It would have been better to make this mandatory at some point while questing through Bree or place a skirmish camp in the area where we are first sent to to do it in Moria. The second is the questing in the Lothlórien zone. The zone quests here felt really repetitive since it was much more notable that you're being sent back to the same four areas where the Orcs are.

Yeah it's pretty annoying. At least they made the session runs optional. I'm just now in the same spot you are, grinding epic and bingo quests. For what it's worth, they do kinda spam you with the skirmish intro quest in Bree when skirms become available, but they really should say the story quests require it, or like you said, make it easy to finish the intro quest elsewhere. I'm feeling lucky that I got enough levels from the seasonal and my moria runs that I don't feel obligated to do the non epics in lorien. It's a bit of a drag and I'm pretty scared for the Rohan push, but at least the class trait points aren't bound to those deeds anymore.

The skirmish stuff for the Moria epic quests came later after SoM was introduced (and with it the skirmish system). I forget what they were before being skirmishes though. Just a similar instance but more bare-bones?

Before they were made into skirmishes, they were pretty standard level 59 fellowship instances.

Since I do alot of walking when I read about an app that allows you to tally up your mileage against real world distances it caught my interest. For instance you can take a challenge to put in enough miles to walk the length of England. But then I saw that they had Lord of the Rings challenges, with the first beginning in the Shire so I decided I had to give it a go. My watch and phone already track my steps from walking and running but now they'll be transposed against Frodo's path starting at Bag End.

There’s a free app called Fantasy Hike that does the same thing, except for what’s probably IP reasons it doesn’t use the actual Tolkien names, so you have to walk from “Hillside End” to “Mount Fire”, and so on.

I remember downloading a Walk to Mordor iPhone app, but it's gone from the App Store. I assume it got hit with a DMCA notice. There's an two year old article about it on CNET.
