Postcards From Middle-Earth

LotRO is eating my brain. But in a good way. :) I've really been enjoying my lil' hobbitey warden Maedhroc, seen here dancing to the the rhythms of the Hobbiton Philharmonic.



(Note the messages in the text window. Even undead sorcerer-kings can't get a good hobbit down!)

Maedhroc has helped the Bounders (basically the Shire militia-cum-police-force) so much that he's been appointed an Honorary Shirriff, an achievement he takes to heart. Unfortunately, he has been so helpful to them that there's little left for him to do in Shire except run pies for the local grandmas. What's more, the Wardens have summoned him to Bree to aid in confronting brigands who threaten the Greenway, meaning that very soon he will have to leave his beloved home and venture into the wider world, something he is not entirely keen to do.

He'll miss the Shire!

Well, sort of. There's a "monster play" zone in the Ettenmoors, where you can play a goblin, uruk, warg, or spider. High-level players venture into this area for various deeds and rewards, and you can perform raids on player-held areas there. But it's only in that one zone, and there's no regular PvP.

Good, cause I, for one, don't care much for PvP. I'm trying to personally play a game here. Leave me alone to do that, thankyouverymuch. -Frisk <- who isn't playing anything right now, but feels rather strongly about that one aspect
