Made that a few days ago. Erebor with a view on the Dale-lands. You can see the Dale tower in the distance. Quite a nice wallpaper material I think ;)

Regarding Inevitable Return and An Appropriate Progression within the Secondary World by Limbaireidhel High Queen of Noldor Spirit of Fire

A very long post ahead --

Greetings/Vedui Mellyn,

I wish to express my personal belief and opinion regarding usefulness of slow levelling and steady progression: Tis but a personal preference. A longer read ahead - You may find a few tips and advice for newer players as well. I also added few more tips that could be potentially of use.

I have Recently reactivated my VIP {Subscription} after months of absence. I decided to remain loyal to Shadows of Angmar as much as High-Elvishly and Humanly possible therefore I have set certain rules for myself: - No horse Until Level 35. Progression through Epic Volume I And zones in following fashion: The Ered Luin - Bree-Land -Shire- Lone Lands - North Downs and so on...

Read every quest you stumble across ,even the most mundane and insignificant ones. Get most of the each zone without rushing like a Ram from the Iron-Hills. Twas always about adventure. Shun away the grind and urge for mindless monotonic instance or "end-game" torment.

- Now, one must wonder, what are the benefits of all? More than you can possibly imagine, Firstly traversing without the horse gives a new player at least a bit of taste on how natural general progression felt in ages past when Store did not existed nor was possible to buy a mount before level 35.

- Naturally one's journey feels longer and more complete. Strange things , bizarre gloomy yet creatures, awe-inspiring locations, quests or players discovered/met along the way.

- Maximum content for value. To get most of your VIP and zone I believe every player should attempt to explore and finish off and clear deeds. I wish to express the "clearing" which is not about smashing, cleaving or pummelling armies of foes and monsters ,but taking your time to sight-see , Absorb and learn about highly intriguing lore and complete Exploration deeds. In case you have not payed attention so far if you scroll over certain Deed long under your Deeds and there is usually an explanation in each section be that Race&Social, Class, Slayer-deed etc. Setting a plan and progressing more deeply and in depth will reward thee with a greater experience, knowledge of game and in particular lore granting a sense of self satisfaction ultimately.

- Fun? Impossible to answer and I can not be. A relative subject, Sometimes "a little can go very long way" Player A sees a fun contrasting to a Player B Role-player or K PVP-er or someone mainly focused on clearing off group instances. Tis pointless to discuss a concept of fun.

- Lord of the Rings Online was never nor should be aimed primarily on hitting the max level. The Nature of MMO is always flowing it virtually never ends yet First time journey is priceless nor can be ever be repeated thus I want to express importance and how to make it more suitable.

- Tis a shame to skip any Epic story {Volume or Black book or any other Main quest} or region quest-line arc. There exist a gigantic amount of well written ,funny ,somewhat odd and extremely informative amount of information related to the in-game lore connected solely to LOTRO created to expand mystery and additional tales which is unrelated to the official Legendarium.

- Little bit extra - but not a necessity. World chat can be extremely distracting, increasingly annoying on occasion and even toxic or calamitous {Depending on server of Topic involved} ,while helpful you are using it at your risk. Easily addictive as well - Do not fall in trap - Mayhaps you will spend hours chatting instead of playing which ironically becomes a reality for certain individuals.

- I believe coming now as 14 year old player that LOTRO's true qualities lie {and they always did } in extraordinary power of visualising landscapes in particular Audio and Visual score and very impressive for 2004 Engine? Nonetheless the game captures Arda {A Quenya word for World} exceptionally well. Other core strengths are Quality of Story and massive amount of lore that did not disappointed ever since The Launch day. Writing in general ,very evidently seen in older zones is coherent, detailed. You can notice passion that was put in. Once a wise man said LOTRO has a "soul" It might be interpreted in a different way, yet I m convinced it does not a further explanation for those who played LOTRO long enough.

- A team-work I suggest sooner or later. I can perfectly comprehend a desire to progress alone ,but these days mostly everyone wants to do everything by themselves, understandably but quite miss-leading breaking the logic and central aspect of MMO in a first place. You cannot do everything and your tales will be lonely without companions. Surely you can if you wish to put in way you want to, but grouping was always a heart of any Multi-player game ,be that LOTRO or nay. You are missing a lot. Tolkien called his world a "Secondary World" The world he created. Your journey will be forged and decided by decisions and course you take before you even set a foot or create a character. Details do matter, otherwise I would not write it at all. I am largely putting my experience in words and telling how to proceed to have best possible experience there is.

Tis ultimately your world and freedom. Yes, yours we all perceive and progress Your concept of beauty and ugliness - Your concept of good and Evil. Do not make it an ideal world - What is the meaning of these words? Ideal in way of potency or simplicity . A challenging more immersive or complex approach is always more rewarding ,fulfilling even so in our {yours} virtual imaginary world of LOTRO or real life, at least coming from my own outlook and way of seeing things. The Post perhaps will be expanded in near Future or I may re-visit it should I think of something else.

For the end I wish to emphasise that your goal should not be the power, domination as all men are easily seduced by it. What I am going to stress in current sentence may or may not be easy to understand or someone will not take it seriously , because they do not take gaming seriously? However when I say power in a sense in takes away other beautiful features game can offer , I mean to say the end game content, grinding and way to obliterate someone or something is not everything LOTRO has to offer. Its in our nature to progress , Power is attractive and wealth too , authority as well, yet small kind deeds keep forces of darkness at bay.

Thank you kindly for reading and May thy Path be Star-Lit and Golden,

Sincerely

Duje Belak/Limbairedihel
