Week In Gaming

 

Celebathien

  • LOTRO: So much festivaling when I could do it. Then I thought I had two more days and I didn’t. 🙁 Sadz. Morchandir’s Rohan house is a little less hospitable now and Gammer is a bit displeased at the Wicked Cage hanging a bit away from her.
  • LOTRO: Grrlz scampered around punching things. Gleefully.
  • LOTRO: We also punched things with impunity on the Academy. So much punching this past week! GLORIOUS PUNCHING AND MUGGING!

 

Crister

  • Stairway to More Stairs!  We are running stairs over and over again as we wait for the big Gundabad release!
  • Captains are amazing!  FYI
  • Battle and salvage in the Inner Sphere.
  • WINTER FESTIVAL – I’m pretty sure I’m right.
  • Bingo Boffin as Boba Fett?  Book of Bingo Boffin Boba Fett?

 

Gwaerendes

  • The Odd Couple are working on their Lothlorien rep.
  • The Captain and the Hunter are finally pressing on in the past. I just got to see Thorin become “Oakenshield”.
  • On Grrlz, I pulled out a storage minstrel to help heal baby brawlers on Grrlz. Because my Hobbit Grrl is punching at level 23.
  • In ESO, I am at 879, thanks to doing Master Writs during the Witches Festival.

 

Sanswinda

  • Ran around punching things with the Grrlz. I was very healthy!
  • Knucklesanswhich made it to the Field Trip just in time to kill goblins and Spiders.
  • Gave my nephew a brief introduction to LIs and a short tour of Rohan. He is enjoying riding his warsteed almost as much as I enjoy warsteeding.
  • Ran some flashpoints in SWTOR and started my final round of clothing research in ESO.

 

Teriadwyn

  • Tuesday gaming did not happen because it was Beer Club week, but I made up for it by running with the Academy to finish out some Shire questing.
  • SWTOR duo with Celebathien finished up Voss and started Corellia. Will likely finish up those class stories this weekend.
  • Deleted my entire Add Ons folder for ESO because I was tired of everything having errors even after it was supposedly updated. Redownloaded add-ons with Minion, and then logged in to no more errors, yay! Also, the mails with ingredients continue to make me giggle.

 

Pineleaf

  • My Landroval brawler unlocked several skirmishes, looked at a mirror, and participated in the Friday Night Fights
  • My Crickhollow brawler reached Evendim and tested the power of a 30s brawler
  • My Anor warden searched Agarnaith for plague samples
