This game has the best emotes ever. Look at his face! That wasn't just a lucky shot either... he was contorting his face for the /mood emotes. Think we both literally ROFL'd when we saw these. Also... just like in WoW and FFXI... damn chars always blink at the wrong time.

SOLD! This will give me something to do while waiting for the cataclysm crazies to die out. I wasn't planning on getting that expansion right away.

Same. I'll probably play a little bit while waiting for the chaos surrounding Cataclysm to settle. Gotta download and update again though...

LotRO is now Free to Play. If you have the client, it will install the visual basic update you need automatically. It doesn't do this from disc for some reason but you can download it from their website next week. If you have a paying account right now, you are credited for however many months you have leftover (in my case, two) from the last billing statement and you become a "VIP" which basically is the game exactly as you have been playing it, with a few glitches. You may not have immediate access to all your characters, bags, items, and equipment, but this is a known issue, and will be patched in the future. Here's some info about it www.lotro.com/free.phpLooks like you can't download the client yet.

I am Dejibo on Brandywine. I had to wait to get on the server, but it didnt take too long. I am elf/hunter. it was one of the easy jobs to start off as, so I chose it. I have bashed those in the palace and just watched Silvertongue die. Will jump on later to look.
Can you use a game controller with this or is it keyboard only?

Not sure, maybe Caller knows.
I will be an elf minstrel named Cureinda, but I need to double check where she's supposed to be from before I settle on a character.

I've never tried to use a controller but I'm pretty sure you can. It would be in the options menu but take some time to familiarize with the UI and options menus because they're convoluted as all get out. <.<

OK my new comp has finished installing LotRO, I've downloaded DirectX 11, I've updated my drivers, and I've killed the McAffee demon. I'm almost ready to restart my journies in Middle Earth. I see a new Hunter, and it's my understanding there will be a Minstrel. With that in mind, I will bring my Hobbit Guardian to Elf-ville and have him wait there for you guys. He's Lv8 and as far as I know he hasn't done any Elf quests so he can help with any of them. I can't recreate my current Elves because I have their crafts pretty far developed. Or, if you guys want to play til Lv13, I have an Elf Champion at that level, pretty much a Warrior.
I don't know what free players can do compared to my VIP status so it's best if you guys learn the ropes on your own and just let me know when you're up to 8. But keep in mind with my grandmother situation it's not likely I'll be able to play this week. Just a head's up.
There's a new system called "Skirmishes" that are pretty similar to WoW's dungeon finder, but I don't know if free players can use it. You can do Skirmishes at Lv5. Let me know if you guys are allowed to do that.

I've been looking for you Dej, but haven't seen you online yet. Is there a specific time that you play?

Been playing this a lot on the side of WoW. I'm sorta bored with WoW because all I'm doing is grinding heroics, and it's a whole lot like work. I got my Minstrel to level 14, and then tried Hunter, and fell in love with Hunter. Fun class, and it's so powerful! I got my hunter to level 16 so far. I'm trying to get that title for not dying, and so far I haven't died yet. I've come close, but no cigar. The free version has a lot of restrictions. 2 of my bags are closed off until I buy them with turbine points, and I can't even post auctions until I buy the right to do so with points. Sucks, but hey, what do I expect, it's free. Still enjoying the game though. My characters are Cureinda and Yvondith.
