Me I miss the old days when you had to work for anything worthwhile in MMOs. Ez-mode features and dumbed down content doesn't do a thing to get me interested in playing a new game but they do a great job of convincing me to quit games I used to like.MoxNixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407914481361718041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-64275252569608882092013-12-19T14:22:17.030-06:002013-12-19T14:22:17.030-06:00Ancient Gaming Noob got me to finally try LOTRO as...Ancient Gaming Noob got me to finally try LOTRO as well :) Thus far, I'm liking it. <br /><br />Rather than buying Turbine Points to get elevated to Premium status, though, I think it would have been far better to take advantage of their 14-day VIP trial offer. You get fully unlocked characters, and regardless whether or not you cancel before the trial period is up or actually do pay for the subscription (I'd recommend the 1-month or 3-month), all characters that log on while you're at VIP status get the good perks unlocked (gold cap, increased storage bags, etc) even when you drop back to Premium.Heretic Caldarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03015635188565858672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-57023422237360729082013-12-19T13:26:53.769-06:002013-12-19T13:26:53.769-06:00Shared storage makes mailing things back and forth...Shared storage makes mailing things back and forth between alts obsolete. Invest in that and laugh at how much easier it is.<br /><br />What server are you on? My mains are on Nimrodel, but I also have some on Brandywhine (yew i spelled it that way on purpose), Elendilmir and Imladris and woudl be happy to create a character on any other server if you want someone who has been around since the game launched to give you a helping hand.Darth Skorpiushttp://www.twitter.com/DarthSkorpiusnoreply@blogger.com
