Middle earth feel is farther into the game, sorta. Yes some addon's are basically cheating but some are really good to have for any game, like LOTRO it's hard to find where you are going so there are many addons from WOW that would be useful. But yes I see your point.

http://www.lotro.com/ is where you can read everything about it, and changes.

all i was hoping for mainly was a better in game coordinate system. Lately i have been using lotro.mmodb.com and the mehq interactive maps.

Yea that is what I would love to get for LOTRO. I use those sites as well, but sometimes they don't help.

So it's been a busy few months, in terms of work and many new games. I am hoping to be finished (as much as you can with MMO's) with AoC & War soon, at least at endgame stuff. So that I can get back into LOTRO, since I don't pay monthly anymore, I can take the time I need hehe

bman are you a founder by any chance? If so, I may need to ask you to send me a referral after I finish my 14 day trial; the $9.99 monthly fee is very appealing :)

No I am not. Wish I was, I just payed the lifetime membership and love the game.

I'll be ordering it digitally direct from Turbine so I don't know if they have a preorder option that way or not but whatever works.

Hopefully this winter my friend Derek will want to go in on it together...I should try it on my PC again. I keep wondering if low system resources were causing more issues than my modem was, so I might try it with lower resolution and detail and whatnot.

I noticed that website under games does not show LOTRO, whats with that? I have another question as well, never really bothered to ask before, is there Powerleveling in LOTRO, I can't seem to remember if its possible. And does your kin do anything like that? Cause I am only level 21, no alt. I would love to level to 50, and get more of the chapters done so that I can actually play MoM.

Well sad to say I had to go back to my original server. My level 29 char there is too far along and I haven't even seen all there is to see with that character.

I would love to play with you all someday though, so we'll see what happens!

At least it works from my home machine again :)

I think when MoM gets released, I may finally get a game card to play again.

I just wish I had someone to play with, soloing can get pretty boring as I'm sure most of you know. I also wish Turbine would have like a bonus XP weekend or something (something similar to what Sony did for EQ2 a week or so ago) so I might be able to level up to a decent level and see some of the higher game content.

Bonus XP is going on until MoM is released actually.

    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.

      It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
    • USB Port Optimization for best locations for devices

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      I have a partial answer, when I used a multi-port usb hub I had degraded speed performance with 3 large external hard drives connected (all having their own power supply). I managed to snag a nice (yet older) USB3 based wavelink docking station cheap / used that has x6 usb 3 ports and almost doubled the speed of the external hard drives transfer rate. This looks to be a slightly upgraded model -https://ebay.io/m/LZtjTy
