Played now for a few (reached level seven) before the server shutdown for maintenance and so far, the game doesn't really makes me want to play it that much. But still too early to complain. And, it was free, so nothing really to complain about too.

Will play a bit more when the servers going to return and see how it goes.

uninstall the media booster thing after the install is complete, which will also allow you to remove the download files from your desktop. i'm not sure if the media boost bandwidth use gets reduced for lotro or not, but i did notice lag in other games during the time i had it installed after downloading and installing lotro. it runs hidden at start up but it can be found in programs and features.

Stopped playing this at the end of '09 - got rid of all my chars (had 3 level 65s) and a fair few alts. Tempting to start up again. How many EU players are there here? :) I used to be on Snowbourn when i played and it was a very populated server.

I tried playing this game, but the human starting area was so... boring that i quit after a few minutes. I have a feeling i would enjoy this game but i just can't stand the UI/action bar, and it seems no one has made huge mods to said bar even with LUA being released.

They reworked the intro and yeah, it just seems worse. The actual starting area is alright.

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.

      I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies

      Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area
