Week In LOTRO
Andang

Karvett

- Ran with Big Miss in Lone Lands – the Pink Crusader and RK Verde
Teriadwyn
- Got to Rank 6 with Terifluffz the Warg!
- Ran around Lothlorien with my elven RK, Lashillien. She’s up to level 62 and back in Moria. /sigh
- Burglar Saryssa had so-so luck with the RNG: some sweet gear dropped in instances, but the treasure hunt has been unkind.
Pineleaf
- Arkenstone Beorning headed into Forochel with Teri and Drac.
- My ring bearer reached level 49 and started Eregion.
- On Windfola, I continued to run Thievery and Mischief.

“I chose other.
But it’s so simple. Andang has not run out of poll ideas, or this poll would not be here, so clearly I cannot choose the option in front of me.

“Hello Lotroplayers!
I have a question for the gang at LPN. I am always looking out for more good podcasts, which can be difficult to find. Seeing as we have a similar interest (Lotro) what non-Lotro related podcasts do you enjoy listening too? I am a regular listener to “the nerdist”, and “Henry and Heidi”.
Barnabras from the chat
P.S. I have been seeing Kaleigh Starshine out in the Moors this week! I mourn everytime she is defeated….Keep bringing the fight Starshine!!!!”

Thanks for listening!
Thank you for all your kind words regarding The House of Beorn story. I’ve been hearing some great feedback and I hope you continue to enjoy it!
Keep with the pee jokes and urine trouble.
I can’t believe I missed the live chat with a Pvmp topic! For me the Pvmp element of the game is a great change of pace to the Pve aspect of the game. How many time can you make a new character and run the same quests? Fighting against other players provides a new and unique challange. The key to monster play is being comfortable with dying. You will die a lot, but don’t worry it doesn’t hurt. I am already up to 1600 deaths, and I am only rank 11. I usually play when both raids are out, and it is adrenaline charged.
Thank you for the kind comment, Barnabras! And great show, everyone!
All I can say is, after listening to this episode, I will be running, hiding, fleeing, whatever I need to do to get away from any wargs I come across… 🙂
Did anyone else hear Pineleaf utter the phrase “whore licking good” or was it just me?!?!!
Hey! Thanks for the plug by the way!!!!
