Yea that is awesome, too bad I am still way behind in the story lol

[+longgonebn Subscriber²]

Just paid for the Lifetime Membership, wooo! Now I can play LOTRO & AOC.

I just wish more people from here would play this game.

[spaceelf]

So did I actually! What server are you on? My main guy is staying on the server he's at no doubt but I can add another char!

[+longgonebn Subscriber²]

I am on Firefoot, Bearagon.

[spaceelf]

Sweet. I'll probably be on Wednesday

[+longgonebn Subscriber²]

I should be on sometime after 5PM EST on Wednesday, got an operation ohhhhh lol

[spaceelf]

Rock on I will try to be there. I don't know what I'll name the character honestly, but we shall see!

I do my MMOing from a LAN center now as it's a pain in the arse to do on dialup.

[+longgonebn Subscriber²]

Either way, when you do get on, just add as friend 'Bearagon' and I will get it when I come online.

[Dijital]

I still play this quite often and am on the Windfola server if anyone cares to venture with me. In fact I just started my 4th toon a Captain - and loving it! If you come to my server you can catch me as Makali, Emeryl, Celess, or Allegretto. Can't wait to see more neowinians.

I won't be starting another character very soon, but when I do I will check you up.

I am actually doing a Man Captain right now on the Firefoot server!

[spaceelf]

Man things have been wierd here. I should be in today though. (Wednesday.)

Hope to see you there! I'll try to get in earlier today since I saw you'd been in before me last time.

Plus, I see Turbine is testing a .net 2.0 launcher. Nice.

Where did you read that they are testing a new launcher?

[+longgonebn Subscriber²]

If they are that would be awesome.

what is your characters name on firefoot, i have been inactive on there for about a month but i am going to try to start playing again with my measily lvl 26 elf champion

[+longgonebn Subscriber²]

Feorn is his name, i have stopped playing for a month as well, working on AOC, and since I don't pay for LOTRO anymore I can do that.

Let me know when your play and we can quest and all that together.

[+longgonebn Subscriber²]

Sorry, i mean my chars name is Bearagon.

[spaceelf]

Where did you read that they are testing a new launcher?

It's on the official forums, Turbine Download Manager, apparently will cover both LOTRO and DDO, and should be a lot faster.

They're using it for the test server right now, but no idea when it'll go live on the main servers.

I noticed that bman, I hope we can get some gaming in sometime. I don't keep the client on my home machine anymore as it became pretty hopeless.

[+longgonebn Subscriber²]

I just noticed, next month is my first non-paid month, first month as a lifetime member! WooT!

[spaceelf]

Same here heh heh.

Kinda sad considering I don't really have the money, but it just means in two years I'll either have that much more money or that much more time into LOTRO...either way works for me.

[spaceelf]

So bman! You haven't logged in for quite some time it seems!

I have two characters having a go at that server now.

The launcher might already be live with book 14, but I can't tell. There's little direct info on that so it seems unlikely. All I could find was that the trial downloader uses it...

[+longgonebn Subscriber²]

Yea I haven't been logged in for awhile, been working on AoC and a few other games, and waiting for my Lifetime Membership to start next month, then I will be back at it like normal. So hold your horses lol, I will be able to quest and **** with ya soon!

[Hupp]

is there any kind of application addon for lotro like cosmos for wow?

and my character is veymaethlas on firefoot.

[+longgonebn Subscriber²]

There are no addon's for LOTRO, one thing I dont like about it, but meh.

[Xeta]

No addons is not all bad. Think of the addons that are borderline cheating. Pre BC in WoW there was one that would use your anti-fear trinket for you whenever you got feared. Decursive gave healers near invulnerability to DoTs. Don't get me wrong, I like the addons I have. But I was reaching for a positive side of things.

I haven't touched LotRO since I was in the beta. Is there anywhere I can get a summary of info regarding what's changed since then? My biggest issue with the game was the fact that it felt like just another fantasy MMO. You start the game killing bears and giant spiders... oh boy. Where's the feel of Middle Earth in that?
