Official LOTRO thread

  • 4 weeks later...

I finally got the Special Edition in the mail today. Which I paid $14.99 for it because of a deal they had.

Some pretty cool extra stuff they give ya with this. Can't wait to start playing the game more now! Might post some video content later on.

So I take it StoneGaijin is max level then? How busy is Gladden normally?

I'd really like to get a Neowin fellowship started, we talked about it months ago but nothing ever came about.

Yeah I made a thread about it a while back but it flopped big time with a whole 0 replies :p

any place i can download a free trial run ? i need a game to play wow is getting stale

http://www.lotro.com/trial ;)

So after trying the trial a second time (I tried it a while back, but never got into it) I have officially dropped my WoW sub and have signed up for this. I got bored of the story and everything in WoW and I wanted something new, and it looks like LOTRO is the one for me. We'll see how long I stay, but I'm liking it a lot so far.

I'm currently a founder and have a lifetime subscription. I have been in the game since pre-beta2. I have two toons a lvl 50 LM and a 44 Hunter. If you have any questions feel free to ask I will answer them to the best of my ability. Also I'm on the Windfola server if anyone cares to join me, its a great server.

Is the lifetime account option still available? What will happen with the release of the first expansion? Will it cover it as well, or you're bound to purchased it aside?

Googling it, it seems that the character development is pretty much linear (you have to purchase skills but you can use them all), and there's some boosters called traits that you can customize at will, but are limited to slot space/level. Correct?

From Wikipedia:

In North America, players who pre-ordered the game were offered a special founder's offer, a lifetime subscription for $199 or reduced cost of $9.99 per month. Standard month fee is $14.99 with three, six and twelve month discounts available. European players had a similar program from Codemasters.

The special edition, which costs $10 more than the regular edition, includes a full-color manual, an item called "Glass of Aglaral", a cloak of regeneration, which is visually different from the one in the regular edition, a "Making of" DVD, soundtrack, and a free 10-day buddy key.

(~_~)

This is bull****. And since I'm at work, I can't investigate this further.

First, I signed to beta test it.

I downloaded the client during the night and installed it in the morning. I couldn't log in. So, I checked my email and the website... to find out that the test was closed.

200 dollars (or < euros) are a lot of bling for a ?400-a-month guy, and I really wonder if in 30 years the game would still be online. (Better question: would humans still be alive in 30 years?).

Yea, that is what I got, but paid normal price for it, 2 sweet!

Lifetime sub is sitll available for a one-time fee of $299 for non-founders.

PvMP in LOTRO is quite fun and I fancy it quite often. It is a zone that you must be lvl 40 before you can go in to the zone to fight. On the monster side you play a creep that is lvl 50 and gain abilities by gaining ranks and completing quests, I personally have not done much on the creep side, but the freep side is a blast.

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
