rangerlilyrose left a comment on last week’s LPN (give spoiler warning):

I’m very disappointed in how Halbarad’s sacrifice is being treated by many players.

HALBARAD IS TAUNTING GOTHMOG TO KEEP HIS ATTENTION FROM THE OTHERS.

He taunts Gothmog, makes him lose his composure, and sacrifices himself to allow his allies to strike. Specifically to keep him away from his King, Aragorn.

Seriously, how can it be that a basic game mechanic isn’t recognized when it applies to the story itself? *sigh*

Lights a candle for the noble and misunderstood Halbarad.

Emails

“LPN Crew,
Thanks so much for taking the time to read my email, particularly for reading it in Kermit’s voice. I really enjoyed the update talk. I haven’t really even gotten anywhere close to that so I am bound to forget anything I have heard that is a spoiler. However, I am continually impressed with the detail and care the devs. put into the game. I think with the quality of the game I think LOTRO will be around for many years and more adventures.

I also had another question for you. A little background information first, I have played from around to launch of Free-to-play but in those three years, (brace yourself and laugh a little because it’s silly). I have never made it any farther in the epic then Book 3 Vol. 1. (partially because of a nasty case of completionism) I am now starting to play a lot more. Do you have any recommendations of quest lines that are worth looking forward to or lines that are must do’s for you in a play through? I am going to do it all (or as much as possible) but I wanted something to motivate myself with more than the simple mystery of the unknown and a really compelling epic quest.

Thanks for the input!

I noticed that you were stumbling over my name. No hard feelings, it’s hard to pronounce but I do have some help for you. I think (according to Elf pronunciation websites) it is pronounced Uh-rad-Uh-tha-lion. Hope that helps. Thanks again!”

Question for Maven I’ve been meaning to ask for a while now. Does Buddha scream 24 seven? Or is the microphone button on your computer connected to an electrical charge on his perch? #HushBirdBrain! 😀. Cheers, Braag of Landroval

  Braag! You mean he doesn’t add extra color to the show? Laugh. The silly guy reacts to me talking….When I start talking, he apparently decides that he needs to be part of the conversation…he actually makes more noise than you hear. I mute my mic as much as possible!
  
  He’d be happy to be a guest on your podcast! I could teach him to say “Light the Beacons!”
