Featured Comments
Branhild commented on last week’s show:
“Thank you for the episode. My coworkers must wonder why I laugh early in the week.”
Zyngor left a comment on The Family Line Part 24:
“Well, that was an ending! Great work on this series, sorry to see it go out with such a bang (or should I say *thwip*?). Time to bust out the alternate endings, like where he decides to visit Bree-land, goes on a journey with Lalia, and spends the next 50 parts trying to escort her just out the gates of Bree-town!
Got plans for another series?”

Thanks for listening!
It was interesting to read about the rep items changing. It certainly seemed to divide opinions on the official forums. I’ve used the rep items to gain TP on all my alts on my main server. Any I’d gain from instances eg. Moria, I would Passover to my alts and get kindred with them.
After a while though and never having played the alts much I just decided to spend a chunk of marks to tot rep for as many as possible, to gain a bit of TP. The idea being to make u14,15 etc as cheap or free as possible. It’s a F2P game after all and since instances have been put on the back burner, I’m less in love with the game.
I had never deleted any characters to repeat this though, just on 5 alts I was setting up as a Ex VIP in case I wanted to try some classes.
I think it’s a shame the community often turns on each other when it comes to F2P issues. It seems to me rep is an essential part of lotros F2P. But the beorning intro being soso short is causing a TP grinding problem.
I hope they come to a solution that is only of a limited annoyance or stigmatizing to premium or F2P players that didn’t “abuse” this.
