Week In LOTRO

 

Arathaert

• Glummed my way around Ered Luin with my overadventurous granddaughter
• Also, farewell(ish)

 

Andang

• Checked on the old capital of Rohan for a guy who is going to be screaming death
• Resumed work on Episode 4 of M-eL

 

Maven

• Ran around with a depressed dwarf and his sad pooh
• Glordriel reached master angler stats, got the trout trophy, and is one fish away fromt the darter trophy
• Tested Tier 1 versus Tier 2 soloing Icy Crevasse on Meyvan the LM, decided to power run at Tier 1 because the medallions per minute rate is the same at Tier 2 (and I use lots more stuff to get through it)

 

Teriadwyn

• Hunter Alistriel got her port to Dol Amroth, did a walking tour of the city with Sanswinda.
• Other champion started volume 3 with a couple of companions: Morkali and Maizydae. Discovered Pineleaf is not the only squishy warden-player in the game.
• Wildermore questing on my Rune-keeper, keeping Sanswinda company as she goes through them for the first time.

 

Karvett

• Starting to love playing with floaty names turned off.  Frill and beast surprises galore!
• Went to LLG for the first time on level with a 3 man group. Solo’d some spiders and got wrek’t by trolls.

 

Pineleaf

• On Arkenstone, my Friday group dealt with some salamanders and went to Ost Forod. At one point, someone asked if I had a new mount (I was using the same mount as always). Later I reached kindred and purchased my rep mount.(nobody noticed).
• My Beorning started in Eastern Gondor.
• Returned to my Brandywine Warden to work on my skirmish encounter deeds.

“Tolkien: Let me recapitulate, this machine is a modern computer, LotRO is a computer game?

Guy: Yes sir, welcome!

Tolkien: So, this “LotRO” is based on my books? the “online” is there because we are on the internet, a machine for simulations as you say.

Guy: Yes… well, it is a game, there are real people with you right now.

Tolkien: What is a Hobbit Present? now i have some type of armor, i cannot understand the origin.

Guy: Is just a random gift, sir.

Tolkien: I think this is a dwarf with a long beard, let´s talk with him… hum, interesting, he repeats some lines and offers me a ring over his head? actually there are rings everywhere!

Guy: No.. i mean, yes, he and other characters have missions, the rings.

Tolkien: I need recover his shield from a group of goblins, hum, interesting, childish lines… hah!

Guy: Test my war steed.

Tolkien: Ah, you have a big horse and…. what type of horse is this? oh my god he is colliding with everything!

Guy: Calm down, click to stop sir.

Tolkien: So, when everything moves in a strange way, we are under some “lag”, a spell I supose?

Guy: No, this is part of Gondor and few places…

Tolkien: Lag? I never wroted a character or location called “lag”.

Guy: Ow..”
