Official LOTRO thread


Recommended Posts

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'm still playing everytime I get the chance. Usually Sat and Sun mornings till about mid afternoon. I have a great Kin that really helps out when they can. If you want to meet up or are looking for a kin that is laid back then let me know.

Server: Firefoot

Main: Dalandow

See you around...

what kin are you in cracktek? i have been looking for a kin on firefoot for awhile

Hey, I am on Firefoot, dont have a kin, we should start one or something. Once MoM and out and my payment goes through for the Lifetime Membership (ordered awhile ago but my 3 months was still going on) I will be playing more again.

Hi Hupp. My kin is The Crescent Order. Check us out at: www.thecrescentorder.com Hope to see you in game. Maybe later on today, if I get a chance.

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.

Edited by bman

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.

Yeah, I checked it out heh. It's ok, I just readded a debit card since I am still able to use tha 3 month for $29.99 holiday special thingie. Don't matter if there is bonus XP or not, now I just need to be in a kinship or find someone to play with lol

I'm reinstalling it now and downloading the newest book patch :)

    • Finally we can whole-heartedly recommend the AMD 9070 GRE thanks to this discount by Sayan Sen Earlier this month at Computex 2026 AMD released the Radeon RX 9070 GRE for a global audience. We reviewed the GPU and it scored 8 out of 10 for gaming and 7.5 out of 10 for productivity including things like AI performance. The card launched for $550 which we thought was a bit on the higher side, though currently you are getting the chance to get the Gigabyte Gaming variant of the GPU for just $500 thanks to this discount (purchase link under the specs table down below). As such we can finally whole-heartedly recommend this GPU. The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specs of the Gigabyte Gaming RX 9070 GRE OC is given in the table below: Specification Value Boost Clock Up to 2920 MHz Game Clock Up to 2340 MHz Stream Processors 3072 Memory Clock 18 Gbps Memory Size 12 GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 192-bit Memory Bandwidth 432 GB/s Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Max Resolution 7680 × 4320 Max Displays (Multi-view) 4 Card Dimensions 288 × 132 × 50 mm (L × W × H) Recommended Power Supply 700 W Power Connectors 2 × 8-pin Display Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Gaming Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB GDDR6 GPU (GV-R907GREGAMING OC-12GD): $549.99 + $50 discount with promo code in mail => $499.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
