New Player Question
What does “bound” mean? Some new players mistakenly think that if something is “bound” to them, they are stuck with it forever.

After a second listen I have some feedback on the new skirmish format. A few times during the discussion, I was having a hard time following if you were on pro or con, movie, book etc. Maybe each host could prepare one or two bullet points on pro and con for each category. Then you could walk thru the three areas with everyone giving their highlight and low light. When this was finished, each host can give their favorite depiction, and whatever got the most votes is the best depiction.
I started playing lotro about 2 months ago and I remember the first time I entered moria. It was really cool to have a visual of moria to supplement what I’ve seen in the movie and what I’ve read in the books. I especially remember rushing to see the bridge of khazad dum with my girlfriend watching over my shoulder, and when we entered the second hall it was a moment of “woah…this is awesome”
Anyway, I’ve really enjoyed listening to lotro players news and lotro academy. Keep up the good work!
