hey bman, can u tell me anything about LOTRO pvp, or theres not much of pvp? i read somewhere its alot about quests mainly

PvP in LOTRO is an isolated entity. there are currently 2 zones in which you can PvP. The way it works isnt complicated, but different from other PvP systems. It's not a system when you create a typical character and can go to the prescribed zones and beat on other characters. The people you would be fighting are what are referred to as "creeps" (player made mobs). Players can create mobs from the login screen that allow you to fight against the regular players (freeps) in the PvP zones. Much like a regular toon, creeps can be created as a specific class with specific abilities, which can be advanced over time. As a creep, within the PvP zones, you can quest, kill free people (normal PC toons), and take part in siege battles. There are also some number of keeps and hotpoints that creeps and freeps fight over.

There're lots of specifics to it that would be too in depth to get into, but to summarize, it's an isolated PvP where you create an evil character that you can customize/advance as you achieve certain goals and kill regular players. It's interesting and can be fun.

oh well thats not a game for me then I guess, I need alot of PVP in a game :x

The pvp in this game is horrible. Hours just shooting arrows at creeps, who run away after you hit them 3 times, then come back healed. Repeat. There you have the PVP mechanics.

As some know I started playing again.

I never got into finding/buying clothing to make my character look cool, but now he looks really stupid. Where are the best places to get sweet clothing, and merchandise and stuff like that? Or do you really have to be a high level to do that, level 12 at the moment.

      It saddens me when cars are such dull colours now. Mine is bright metallic blue and I absolutely adore it for standing out in contrast to that depressing backdrop of traffic.

      I really don't like these rounded corners and huge borders in the viewport. They just waste space without anything in return.
