E3 Interview on PC Gamer
Today there was more news of the Isengard expansion, and I am getting really excited! It was a preview released on PC Gamer by a guy called Josh Augustine. I would like to add my comments to a few selected sentences.
1. “Let’s get my personal favorite news out of the way first: with Rise of Isengard, Monster Play will finally be free-to-play for everyone, instead of reserved exclusviely [sic] for subscribers.”
I’m glad that this is going to happen, as it might revitalize PvMP, and with all of the changes in PvMP, we might actually have a flourishing community in the Moors! Read more…
Isengard Pre-order comparison and comments
So the new expansion has an official release date: September 27th, 2011!
This is smack dab in the middle of a testing time for most semesters, so we will see how much my grades suffer…*cough* I mean, there is unfortunately a chance I may not be able to partake in the fun…or I might have a sudden onset of MacGregor’s Syndrome, but it will luckily be only in Phase 1, which I hear is curable with an antidote created by Victor Fries, M.D. Unfortunately, it will probably take, oh, at least two weeks for it to ship from Amazon. That should be sufficient for me to get my hunter and warden to 75…
Anyway, there is a set of three pre-orders available for purchase. They all grant access to the expansion, of course, but there are special goodies available immediately that are worth looking at. I still regret not pre-ordering Mirkwood, as I could’ve saved myself a lot of Turbine Points that I spent on extra character slots so I can have 9 characters. The following is a rundown on the pre-orders and my suggestions: Read more…
Icy Crevasse – Tips and Tricks
I was very excited when I saw there would be a Forochel skirmish. First off, I was thrilled that I finally had another way to earn reputation with the Lossoth, which have an incredibly long grind. Secondly, I just love Forochel. It is one of the most beautiful and deadly places in Middle-Earth.
I tried it out on Bullroarer with my level 65 Hunter, Geldarion, first. I have since tried it with most of my characters that are the appropriate level. I usually run with an on-level soldier, and I would highly recommend that, because this is undoubtedly the hardest skirmish there is.
I would like to give a few tips on completing this skirmish, since it is so difficult. This is not too detailed, and I am sure that Pineleaf Needles at Casual Stroll to Mordor will have a complete guide eventually, but this is to tide people over for the time being. You should definitely check out his posts, as they are the best I’ve ever seen on skirmishes.
Here is how to win (or in this case, not die)! Read more…
The journey begins…
Greetings my friends!
I am looking forward to blogging about the things in life that are important to me, and hopefully, you will enjoy the writing I do.
I anticipate three categories.
My first category will be Lord of the Rings Online, a free-to-play MMORPG. I have always had a passion for J. R. R. Tolkien’s works, and this game is epic. I will post guides, posts in character, screenshots, etc. This category will make up most of the blog. I may use Elvish terms, in a bit of roleplay fun, so expect to see words that are unusual. I will put a “Language note” at the bottom of each post if I do use a different language in the post. Read more…
Decisions
This post is in the character of my warden, Khelernil. It was recently featured on Casual Stroll to Mordor’s Lost Texts
When I first ventured into Forochel, I had only heard stories. My people are the silvan elves of Mirkwood, but during the late Third Age, nomads from the south had come to us with tales of a cold, frigid land with Men there that had an even more frigid demeanor. The Lossoth. They were said to grow horns from their head and have skins like animals. Their language was similar to that of other tribes of men in places like Angmar and Enedwaith, but they seldom spoke Westron to an outsider. And most travelers to them are outsiders. Read more…
