LOTRO Players News Episode 198: Living and Dying in Forochel

I got a Little Mumak Pet!!!! (And some pies :D)
Rode on the bottom of a river over some falls, died before even falling, and saw memories of Frodo and Sam in Ithilien.
Leveled my champion—realized, belatedly, that one of the reasons I was struggling with him was because all his gear (armor, weapons, jewelry, pocket) were 10-17 levels lower than him. Oops! New gear made a huge difference.

Maven

Accompanied Wigend and gang through the next portion of Bingo, would have gotten farther except we got stuck at Helm’s Deep with Corey looking at EVERYTHING
Glordriel did her first Towers of the Teeth resource fellowship instance, way better than Skoirunk!
Got reacquainted with my hobbit warden, finished off all the chores in Tur Morva and is ready to go talk to the chieftain (cue dangerous music)

Aerindys

Froze to death in Forochel for the first time and helped bring about a wedding
Finally found a decent rhythm/order for my skills on my champ
Went on the Academy Field Trip, where we created new characters, grouped in Celondim, and attempted an Epic Battle

Teriadwyn

Led the Grrlz of Middle-earth into Draigoch, then ended up being the last one to make it through the gauntlet on Saryssa.
Landroval!Teriadwyn made it to Aragorn’s camp near the Wastes sooner than intended, mocked Sanswinda from the top of a rock. 🙂
Ran all over North Ithilien still not picking flowers.

Pineleaf

During the field trip, we attempted the fellowship version of Pelargir while level 12.
When I ran the skirmish tutorial on a new character, I decided to see if it would allow me to run the second tutorial at Tier 2. Yes, you can do it.
Headed into South Ithilien to see if I could get some rep with the rangers.

I was listening to a recent episode of the MMOsketeers podcast, episode #194 “Inquest on Fire”. Starting at 1:02:36, they talk about the Cloudbleed bug which, to cut a long story short, can cause people’s passwords to be revealed. At 1:07:05:10 they say the Patreon was one of the sites affected by Cloudbleed and people should change their passwords. A Google search returned this blog post on the Patreon site “Change your passwords: Patreon on the #Cloudbleed list“.

I can’t remember you mentioning it on the LOTRO Players podcast or seen a post about it on your site, so if you haven’t then you might like to alert your Patreon supporters about this.

Vethlo, a hobbit of every server you care to mention
