Oh dear, what the hell am I doing reinstalling this game? Haven't played since 2010ish I think.

Guess I have to start a new character since my old Silverlode characters can't be transferred off right now...

Oh dang natsuumi's back! Should we start taking bets on whether fran is next? :coal:

Aaaaah poo poo I've been trying to remember Fran's name forever

Well Nat's got her toes back in the waters, this time as a rune-keeper. If I gotta start over at least I can be something useful to a group. Not gonna use a level boost though, I wanna do it all over again (which I've already done too many times, having had every class maxed back when the level cap was 60).

Any way to know when they're gonna enable closed server character transfers? I'd rather not consider those characters lost.

What's a good jack of all trades class? Consensus seems to be minstrel or champion? I prefer healing in groups over dps or tanking and the instrument seems cool, but am I going to have any soloing problems since minstrel seems a bit more group focused than champ?

My runekeeper does very well. It can be your group healer and solos fine. Been able to do some small/full fellowship quests solo with RK as well too.

Does the barrow downs still have that one escort quest? You know the exact quest I'm talking about if you've ever run that god awful thing.

Oh yes. It's still there.

If they ever shut the game down they'll leave one machine in the dusty corner running where you can log in and do that escort.

And walk with Sara Oakheart.

Good stuff though, but I had to stop playing because lag issues got to me. But I heard in the recent dev q&a that they know what the lag problem is now, not easy or quick to fix though.

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?

Under Cosmetic -> Housing -> Writs, or just do 'writ' in the search box.

Is vip worth grabbing for the newest expansion? I haven't played much but the new starter zones look fun.

The new zones are very fun, good story (alternate epic books 1-3), and beautifully made, but isn't a part of vip. Still worth it though.

I'm now on the quest of Tomb of Elendil, which is apparently a total different instance than Ost Elendil. I don't see it listed there in the lists of instances on the instance finder, or am I just blind?

Tomb of Elendil is not in the instance finder. The instance is started from Calenglad at Tinnudir.

I seem to remember, years ago, some goon saying that there was a point to drop the Volume I epic quests and just go on to Moria. What point is that? I'm on book 7 right now and level 47, bopping back and forth between Forochel for general questing and Angmar for the epic.

I usually head to Eregion/Moria at 48, but 47 is probably ok too. Hit up an Eregion Explorer somewhere to get that breadcrumb quest. First thing to do is head to Echad Dúnann and talk to Ráthwald to get your legendary items first, then go back and do Eregion until complete and/or time to quest in Moria.

Of course you don't have to drop the earlier epic quests to do that. That's more the thing to do for speed leveling or someone on their nth alt.

My brawler only ever got the one or two you get from the class quests under 50. Somehow seemed like the brawler never needed to upgrade the gauntlets.

Looks like Amazon is trying to do the LotR MMO again. Since it's based on the literature same as this one, does that mean if it comes out they'll shutter the doors on this?

The last time Amazon tried, MEE said it wouldn't affect LotRO. I don't see that it would have reason to change. This looks like it would be a new license and not a revoking or transfer of license away from LotRO. It'll be probably years before Amazon would get anything out the door, so LotRO is quite safe for quite awhile.

The only reason I see that LotRO would shut down is if Amazon actually made a good game and the playerbase significantly dropped in LotRO moving over.

Which is why Sauron's fair form in Eregion is called Antheron instead of Annatar.

A note from Middle-earth Enterprises and Standing Stone Games to the LOTRO Community

Hello everyone,

During the past few days, we’ve received a number of notes from excited and concerned community members about a new MMO coming to the Tolkien-verse from Amazon Games.

Some folks have asked what this means for LOTRO. We wanted to give everyone in the community an update and assure you all that LOTRO is not going away!

Like you, we, and our partners at Middle-earth Enterprises are huge fans of LOTRO. It is beloved, it is sixteen, it is evergreen. LOTRO is like the long-lived Ents, Elves and Dwarves; and we mere mortals, are the stewards of LOTRO and its community. Standing Stone has every intention of growing and supporting this community. The road goes ever on...

I do wonder why weapons are still offered as quest rewards. I feel Legendary weapons make such rewards obsolete.

At least one reason is for off-hand weapons for dual-wielding classes/specs.

Once a page we should probably just remind everyone that a third party launcher called One Launcher exists and is superior to both the standalone launcher and Steam.

https://github.com/JuneStepp/OneLauncher

Is that launcher sanctioned by SSG? Or at least a "We don't care" stance?

If you have no trouble with the default launcher what benefit does this launcher bring?
