- Sanswinda – A- (minus from the deadly vegetation & spiders)
- Teriadwyn – A (a nice break from the War of Three Peaks)
- Celebathien – A (finally able to do a new zone at release)
- Gwearendes – A (loved that there’s an option that doesn’t involve travel between Angmar and Forochel)
- Pineleaf – A (nice area to quest and a place for new characters to quest at that level on the new servers)

Week In Gaming

Celebathien

LOTRO: Exactly how am I dousing burning bushes without a bucket? Just call me Smokey cause only I can prevent forest fires.
LOTRO: Only 27 more scrolls left to get now. No, I’m not getting the Herbalist horse. Right now.
SWTOR: Finally! Malavai Quinn is mine! Now, if only I could get him to say those three little words…

Gwaerendes

In Middle-earth: I’m ready for the Festival of the White Lady! But I need to do more festivalling for more instruments.
ESO: My Khajiit took a dark turn. Trying to decide if the Nightblade was as bad.
ESO: Companions are interesting. Although I discovered something about my Stamplar this week.

Crister

We have been doing the new raid and have been successful, fighting (and eating) balrogs does a body good!
Latest Graphical Nonsense

Sanswinda

Ran some festival quests and enjoyed the ambience of Minas Tirith in Midsummer.
Did some questing around Azanulbazar and got my guide.
In ESO I discovered the joy of siege weapons.

Teriadwyn

Teri did some more touristing around Azanulbazar and helping dwarves. Was going to try some festival stuff, but the game crashed when I tried switching alts. Also caught Cordovan’s stream on Friday.
In SWTOR my jedi consular made it off of Coruscant, alongside Celebathien’s jedi knight. Also our Sith characters started their Chapter 2 storylines and poked around on Taris and Quesh. Hoth is up next…
Also SWTOR, I got my bounty hunter caught up to where Celebathien’s agent is in the story, finishing up Nar Shaddaa.
Still mildly obsessed with digging out all of the things on Craft the World since the most recent update. Now in the underground world phase, for once not having trouble with the underground goblins.

Pineleaf

My Anor warden helped some faint-hearted Gondorian soldiers and hunted a warg.
In Minecraft, I created a new world to conquer a mansion. My plan was to capture the mansion and then create some birthday cakes to celebrate Minecraft’s 10th Anniversary. Unfortunately, after only a few days into the world, the mansion burned to the ground because it was generated next to a lava stream.
In ESO, I completed the Rivenspire quest line. I also created my first crafted set.
