Why LOTRO Still Needs Ember Changes
In less than 48 hours, Standing Stone Games made a 180 on their proposed Ember changes. I talk about changes SSG should make, what Pay-to-Win actually means in a never-ending MMO, and how SSG should proceed to fix this PR situation.
I really tried to see both sides of this situation and explain it as well as I could, while giving my own thoughts as well. Below I leave you with my reaction to the initial announcement.
The Party Tree – Lore in LOTRO
After two years of hiatus, I am finally back on YouTube, and back with some lore!
In Hobbiton, there is an old oak tree decorated to celebrate a famous hobbit’s birthday. Bilbo Baggins’ birthday party had fireworks from Gandalf, and gifts from Erebor. As the party came to its end though, Bilbo gave a strange speech and disappeared. This scared many hobbits who demanded answers explaining what happened. Little did the guests know how strange their peaceful lives would become…
I always learn something when making these videos. In the Scouring, The Party Tree kind of feels like a footnote. I was glad I could make a video that helped me realize the importance of this old tree.
Thank you all for the support over the years. I really couldn’t do this series without you.
