Title: Lotro
Post by: tarascon on January 19, 2013, 08:06:48 PM: Are there any Lord of the Rings Online players here?
Myself and one other person on these fora (possibly two) play Lotro.
We are on the Landroval server.

Post by: tarascon on January 20, 2013, 07:41:05 AM: Bea is one and aelthric finally has a new machine and installed the game. 8ully tried the game, I think, but didn't care for it.

Post by: dweez on January 20, 2013, 10:57:11 AM: Ah. Yeah, 8ully plays a lot of Star Trek Online. Have friends that play it but all my time is occupied already.

Gotta go check this pizza... I love the game, graphically and otherwise.

Thoroughly enjoy playing with my friends, such as tarascon and Mirika, my friend from the Netherlands.

Admiral Freeby and the USS protege think your horse is cute.

I'm loving Skyrim. So much to do and such little time.

I'm currently a thief, half member of the imperial guards and the same for a Stormcloaks (I'm holding out before I commit fully), assassin, werewolf, mage and a lot of other things I can't remember. Joining these groups has no affect on your character as far as the storyline goes, so you don't have to pick a personality and stick with it.

I did have to rough some people up once while working for a protection racket, and now I find that store owners ask me to leave - but not before I've traded.

They're probably scared.

Post by: dweez on March 13, 2013, 12:26:41 PM: I burnt myself out on Skyrim and cheated on the crafting skill (used cheat codes to get more resources) so haven't played it in a couple years.

Post by: 8ullfrog on March 16, 2013, 10:02:30 PM: Apparently my screenshot gave an incorrect scale, apologies. Below is a screenshot of my runabout, the USS Black, on a landing pad at DS9 (The space station behind the USS Protege.)
The USS Black is about the size of a Winnebago, and can man a crew of five. The USS Protege is an advanced escort, and has a crew of around 100.
I'd do a side by side comparison, but I'd need someone to hop in a runabout.

Post by: Beatrix on July 09, 2013, 06:11:10 PM: Ah.

I have that problem with old pc games. I can never get them to play.

Post by: tarascon on January 12, 2014, 08:18:00 AM: Kinda miss the world but it ate up a lot of my time.
I'd recommend it for anyone who's never played any MMO's; it was my first.

Post by: tarascon on January 22, 2014, 06:32:39 AM: I loved Lotro.
My main problem with Lotro was that, once you get to the highest level (at that time it was 85), there's not much to do until a new area (expansion) opened up. And it costs money... and after a while, everything to improve your character cost cash. In a year I spent about $200 and I suspect that sum is a relatively low average. I wish Lotro would stop trying to pitch DLC to old-time players. The only solution (which I did 2x) is to create a new avvy and basically start from the beginning.
