Thurs 1-28-10 - The Great Barrows

[Rakul]

I'd love to, believe me, Ariesel! But, I'm trying to NOT play MMOs. They're so much fun that they make me lose training time!

Great pictures!

So much fun again last night that I woke up this morning and finished some quests in the lone lands and Paradis dinged 23. I enjoy the Hunter. It has a good combination of skills, and unlike some other games, this ranged combatant has good group utility (speed, porting, poison cure, tracking...). It's just about right for a player like me.

LOTRO runs great on this new machine and looks absolutely fantastic. I am enjoying it so much that I'm seriously thinking about rolling another character or two to see if another class catches my fancy as an alt.

The main thing I'm puzzled by is gathering. I suppose I've missed something there. Seems like I never have the right tool for the job or something like that...does one really have to switch out picks, shovels, and axes over and over to be an explorer?

P.S. - If someone would roll a hobbit burglar and show up even once in a while, we could practice those fellowship wheels. ;D

That was AWSOME! Like I said last night, that is the first time in 2+ years I have been playing the game that I have completed that dungeon.

It was tough but we handled everything without any problems.

I'd say we had a harder time with Weathertop than we did with the Great Barrows. Noone even died!

Still, it was fantastic to get all the way through the dungeon - I hadn't done it myself, either. Great screenshots, Morr! Did you happen to nab the one of us gathered around our pocket forges?

Ask and ye shall receive!

Here's a couple others:

good shot of Ardalion's teddy bear at the forges too

Great shot! He looks like our slave-master bear.
