Lord of the Rings Online

I feel this awesome game deserves a topic. Maybe two.

Riders of Rohan just came out, woo.

Obligatory fangirling and expansion music:

How much GB does it take to download?

Lots.
And it takes a looooooooong time.

Dangit, I've got like... 10% of GB left.

How is the game, incidentally? Is it worth it at all?

No
Depends on whether or not you 1) like MMOs 2) have time to play them often.

SD and I both love the game, and we play it fairly often, but it just depends on the person really. Some people like that style of gaming, some don't.

And yes, RoR did just come out. So far I'm loving the new changes, but did you notice the memory leakage SD?

Everyone's friend list got wiped. x(

I actually haven't had a whole ton of memory leaks, tons of crashes though. Every time I switch chars. Is that cause and effect?

People said if you get memory leaks/crashes, switch to DX9, 10 and 11 seems to be causing the problem.

Also, I added Hammy, Manstrel and (I think) Trackerr to my friendlist again. I've been on all my toons since ROR came out (in fact I spent a few hours juggling all the scrollcases and crafting mats via my house storage... never doing that again, even to save on postage). If you need a list, I can give ya one.

Hey, that was a fun game! I used to play it a couple years back. What level are you guys? I got to thirty before I quit because the grinding was too much.

My Warden is 71, my RK is 54, my Champ is 38, my Mini is 37 and my Guard is 25.

EDIT: My guard is actually level 28.

I remember when you were lvl 10

You mean when my Cappy who I deleted about 9 months ago was level 10?

Yes. And now I don't think I have you on meh FL. But I'm having troubles wiht LOTRO. The it won't download. At first it would just repeat the some odd 13000 files. Now it just gets stuck on Game Update and won't budge.

That's too bad.

There's a fix for that somewhere, I think they linked to it in the patch notes for the last hotfix. Also, I can write up a character list.
Elpike - 71 Warden
Bervellaen - 54 RK
Sturfi - 39 Champ
Mirnil - 37 Mini
Orpike - 28 Guard

Yeah, it's a bug. Supposedly was fixed in the latest patch but you should check the notes for more info.

Here are my characters:

Andared ~ 74 Champion

Hameric ~ 51 Burglar

Eadorn ~ 48 Warden

Trackerr ~ 42 Hunter

Anedor ~ 35 Runekeeper

Manstrel ~ 26 Minstrel

Plus a few creeps, and 3 other freeps on different servers.

You should play on Arkenstone. It's way better than Dwarrowdwelf. How's your hobbit working out? Didn't you have a hobbit something or other? Yeah I had Andared and I think one other. And I think I had two of SD's toons as well. I heard that when Rohan went live a lot people got their FL wiped out. And me not being to log in I wasn't sure if mine had been wiped or not.

Edit: I tried repairing the launcher after it's update. Now it just repeatedly downloads the 14000 something files.

I've got a hobbit on Arkenstone, Hameroc (Level 20 guardian). I don't play him much, but I might get around to it some time. xD

I have a... level 15 (I think) hunter on Arkenstone, Bervellaen. Yes, I like to re-use names.

EDIT: I also only have FEMALE Elves. I don't like the way male Elves look, stand, sound or walk/run- it's too girly. IMO, the female elves sound manlier than the male elves.

One of these days I'll make a female character from the race of Man...

Elves are awesome! A majority of my toons are elves.

Elves /are/ pretty awesome. I just wish what race you were had more of an effect on your class in the later levels, like in The Elder Scrolls.

Yeah the only real difference is the race bonus skill, I think it's a skill, you get in your 30s.

The racial weapon bonus traits are pretty useful. Unless you're a RK, then they're COMPLETELY useless.

RK are AWESOME!!! My favorite class. My second favorite being the Champion. By the way LOTRO is now working!!!! WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!

OWWWCH!

All the screaming hurtz mah ears!
