Baron and I just went back to Pilum. I invited 3 guys to a fellowship (they were in the area) and they pretty much blew me off. I wasn't planning on getting on their ventrillo server anyway, and their kinship chat sessions were getting on my nerves. Anyway, I probably didn't give them a fair shake, but I liked our cozy kinship so I'm "home". Of course, we'll still fellowship with all our FBGers, no matter what kinship they are in.Shawn, can you promote me back to officer in Pilum in case I run into someone who wants to join?
I'm going to do better than that.
I might just jump back to OOTP too then. I briefly joined Remnants of Doriath and they are small, but very willing to help each other advance. Alros and Fathom are 2, along with a girl from Germany named Lucine, but I have always thought that if we stay in Pilum, I would return without exception.I have almost reached a point where the advancement is painfully slow (200K between levels) and so am ALWAYS willing to help you guys through.I am also about to start up my captain - Minsc - and would enjoy help/friends if anyone else wants to roll a new one.
Awesome - I will be on from about 8:30 MST to whenever I pass out. Wife and kids went to her sisters to do geocaching and stuff with the kids.I may actually be able to play tonight.
Don't tease me. I renamed all my pets HorribleJoe in honor of your absence.I may actually be able to play tonight.
I will eventually get into monster play, but I still have a ways to go in the "regular" game.
Never mind. My system doesn't meet the required specs for the beta.
I blame Mad Cow.
Jeeebus, what are they? What is that site where you can check game specs against your computer automatically. Also, you have a link for the beta?Never mind. My system doesn't meet the required specs for the beta.
I was playing last night.... Where were you???Don't tease me. I renamed all my pets HorribleJoe in honor of your absence.I may actually be able to play tonight.
Good to hear from you, you're in my friends list so I'll give you a yell when online. Kewleo is the ingame name.
Very good to hear! Once I get leveled up closer to where you all are, I am sure we'll be able to hook up on a somewhat regular basis. On a different LOTRO thread, have any of you been doing any of the summer solstace events they are putting on? I haven't really had a chance to check them out and I'm just wondering if there are any that are enjoyable/worthwhile/fun, etc.
I got my drink on in the pub crawl, but nothing else.
This game is not for fun, it is a second job.Thanks for the rings by the way, very nice. I see the ancient jewelers tools are bumping up your crit rate.
Halfway to 49 here. Too much raiding, not enough leveling for me. Too bad I spent all those hours on Assalamu, I'd have been 50 for a weeks now.Here we are fighting (overstatement) Thorog last night.OK, let's set a date for a level up event. I come down to wherever you guys are and we crack through a bunch of quests for ya.
Should be level 50 within the week. Hit 49 last night. About 200K XP to 50.
I hear he is bugged pretty bad. Chatting with Caeden last night said they got him down a bit, and it bugged out. Don't know if that was the same time as you were there.I have been farming the Nan Gurth instance with a group of guys like Caeden, Malcore, Fenore, Stonegaijin, Alros, Fathom, Spaz, Ferth, Drunkshiplantersn and such. All good guys, all from different kinships. We all love da loot.Halfway to 49 here. Too much raiding, not enough leveling for me.

Thorog
Not the lack of progress on killing him.
This guy does about 3K per breath if you are in the line of sight.
He also causes a fear that if not removed in 10 seconds causes you to basically explode and kill anyone nearby. You have to have Cornhuith pots ready to fight this guy.
Sure are. Those tools are not only a single use recipe that requires a difficult to get unique item, but they were a crit themselves so there isn't a single Jeweller tool in the game than that. I got very lucky that our main armorer critted those for me.The only better rings in the game are critted versions of the single use etched beryl ring recipe. Unfortunately, they require Gnashmaw which is a pain to farm.
Yes, was with Caeden last night. We were going to be the first on Gladden to kill him. Thorog isn't bugged, our final strategy bugged him out. Basically we all hid out of LOS and once our tank died, and Thorog had aggro on us but couldn't see us, he flew away and we couldn't get him back down. Finally, we did, but after we gave up and the raid disbanded. I just don't see how any one kills him. He deals far too much damage far too quickly for minstrels to handle. However, a group on Windfola beat him, so it can be done. In this case, it's purely about the right strategy. Brute force can't beat him.I hear he is bugged pretty bad.

It is a lot less cartoony, and the people playing tend to be much more mature both in attitude and age. I have grouped with a lot of guys aged 25-40 or so and all are fun guys to talk to.Did I post somewhere in this thread and ask about the game compared to World of Warcraft?Too many pages and I can't find it.
Thank you for the answer.I played WoW for 29 days and canceled my account and sold it on ebay for $80. had 2 level 20 characters.I played Dungeons and Dragon online and canceled my account 25 days in because I didn't like it.I played Ultima Online on and off for 7 years and haven't played in a couple years.I don't know if I have the will or the time to put towards a MMOPRG.It is a lot less cartoony, and the people playing tend to be much more mature both in attitude and age.

I played WoW very sparingly, but really like this for the community, at least on our server, and the story.Never played the other ones.Thank you for the answer.I played WoW for 29 days and canceled my account and sold it on ebay for $80. had 2 level 20 characters.I played Dungeons and Dragon online and canceled my account 25 days in because I didn't like it.I played Ultima Online on and off for 7 years and haven't played in a couple years.I don't know if I have the will or the time to put towards a MMOPRG. :(It is a lot less cartoony, and the people playing tend to be much more mature both in attitude and age.

310,000 Hit Points?????
Deeds are why it is taking me so long to level up...
I have all of the Ered Luin deeds done and all of the Breeland deeds except for two in the Old Forest 
(kill trees and find all of the flowers)
LOL. Determination. I did the exact same thing, except it was with Bone Man.
Well, deeds give you exp and so does killing the mobs to get there, especially if you do it when the deed opens up. No shame in that.Deeds are why it is taking me so long to level up...I have all of the Ered Luin deeds done and all of the Breeland deeds except for two in the Old Forest
If I get a deed to kill 120 spiders then I will spend time and walk through the area and kill spiders as I go to make sure that I get the deed done.
I know I could concentrate on more on leveling and should have deleted some of my old quests that got me only 33 exp to complete but I can't make myself delete quests
To me deleting quests is leaving some of the game unfinished
I think it was Fenore, but regardless, that dude is a tool. He's a knowledgeable tool, mind you, but a tool nonetheless. He affectionately refers to Pork Johnson as "the #### archer" and Baron as "duck".
You're right, Fenore.
Throw in to the mix the fact you you can't be killed essentially and it's fun. Can't be killed of course because of the change to DF making it instant. Most monsters don't have a chance of killing a level 50 freep solo and even with two. I have about two dozen solo kills in Hoarhollow killing new monster players who attract aggro from some of the signatures or elite NPCs there and I run in and join the fight while they try to flee. ####, if I had a bow I could own that way.My statsPlayed PvMP for about 2 hours last night. Got in a little raid action with about 16-20 freeps vs about the same creeps. Had some huge battles. Got my first rank of Footman and current record is 289-3. Lots of fun and very different.
Best part of the night was when we had condenses down to 4 freeps in 1 fellow and I was just wandering solo. Ended up in the Isen mines and saw a creep. Attacked but all of a sudden started getting hit from behind by another creep (both were orcs - Problemchild and Ultramax). Fired a few back and they retreated out of the cave to regroup. Laid a multi-trap at the entrance and hid. Heard the trap spring, started laying into him, the other creep advanced thinking he would take me and boom, other trap got him. Between the third trap and my rooting Rain of Thorns, I solo'd the both of them.
I could get into this.
Anybody??Who is Agrajag that was on TS last night??
