New Player Question

Week In Gaming

Crister

  • Fun fun fun!
  • Path of Exile 2
  • Hell Divers 2

Cyndars

  • Played with the Academy folks on Arkenstone, and learned my poor burglar could not leave the Mines of Moria without assistance. No rep or other ports were available. 
  • Glitched out Dome of Stars during Friday Night Fights on the first boss, so we all ended up locked out after dying and it wouldn’t reset because my loremaster was in combat.
  • Have moved on to the 3rd location in the new area with Pineleaf and have learned about a new, sloshier, very lethal goo… 

Pineleaf

  • My mariner quested in Iridir.
  • My warden continued in The Song of Waves and Wind.
  • Tried out a game called Dawnmaker.

Fin on Landroval

I would wish for the Minstrel to be the top healer in the game like it used to be.  I love the DPS that my Mini does now, but I made him all those years ago to be a healer. Also I would wish for peace on earth and good will towards all!  Thanks, as always for the work you all do for the show and keeping us entertained all these years!

Salutations and Seasons Greetings to you one and all.

So many things I would like for yuletide but I will limit my list to 3 things as even though I have been a good boy I can’t say I have been a VERY good boy….

01  Inventory/vault space!  Thank you Standing Stones for a new coffer, and the Rohirrim outfit is nice, but how about some space so I can keep the items!

02  A Random button.  I would love to click a button and get a random mount, or a button for a pet, or even an emote.  Random baby, surprise me!

03  Time, so much content and so little time to play.  I keep hoping somebody will pay me to play but nope, so off to work I go when I could be in Middle Earth doing important stuff!

~sigh~  I would be happy with any one of the above.  Players Alliance, MAKE IT HAPPEN 🙂

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.
