| Treebark server has been great! Posted: 02 Jul 2021 07:22 AM PDT So far I have been really enjoying the difficulty along with the xp rate and community as well (haven't played since moria). Hope to see this server flourish. For a quick minute that square AoE pissed me off but it is actually kind of cool. Anyone else vibing like me? [link] [comments] | ||
| Staying power of the new servers? Posted: 02 Jul 2021 11:11 PM PDT Hey all, been having a bunch of fun with my buddy on Treebeard. Just got to Tom's house in the main story quests. I've been seeing that world chat is pretty active, but when I open the social panel I'm seeing what looks like only about 3-400 people online. Is it maybe not showing some people to me, or is that about how many are playing? I know it'll be a while before the next expansion comes along on this server, and I assume people will play for a bit, quit, and then come back when that new content eventually releases. But, if there's a goal to do whatever endgame stuff there is in this classic era of the game, will there be enough people to support that do you think? My buddy and I are playing hunter and RK and enjoying it so far, though! Thanks for all the suggestions in my last thread! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 02 Jul 2021 08:54 PM PDT My first kinship has already disbanded, and I don't want to play in a kin whose only merit is that it spams World. +6 Burg who would like to do raids (having been a raider on Anor and Landroval in the past). [link] [comments] | ||
| New player questions: Mounts/Riding Skill Posted: 02 Jul 2021 09:50 PM PDT Do the Legendary servers currently only have access to the basic "Riding Skill"? As a new player what's the best way to go about getting a mount early on? I think I saw someone mention something about a wedding in Minas Tirith, but not sure if that is recommended for new players. Thanks. [link] [comments] | ||
| Playing on Treebeard, torn on difficulty Posted: 02 Jul 2021 12:18 PM PDT Longtime WoW player, new to LotRO and loving it. I started a couple weeks ago and my only complaint was that I wished landscape difficulty was harder and progression was slower and lo and behold almost immediately they announce the new servers. I've been so pumped about it and now that I'm on Treebeard I love the game even more. That being said, I have one issue: I'm a textbook over thinker and can't for the life of me decide on a difficulty level. Initially I went with Deadly 6 for solo which, as you can imagine, was a lot, and have been ricocheting between the other difficulties and still can't pick. This is my first character so on the one hand I want to be able to enjoy the content with ease for the first time and raise the difficulty on subsequent playthroughs, so I thought of starting on normal and then doing the next one on hard then dangerous etc but I'm not sure I want more than four characters total so I am at a loss. Anyone from Treebeard here, what difficulty are you doing? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 02 Jul 2021 02:05 PM PDT I'm just coming back after a while away but I've bounced off Lotro a few times before. The furthest I've ever gotten is Mirkwood. I am looking to join a friendly kin this time instead of rolling solo or with my partner. I'm just torn between enjoying the slow roll with treebeard or just going quick and fast with Shadowfax. I do love the lore but I'm not a huge fan of voice chat so I'm thinking that while the general approach of Treebeard is up my alley, if I'm stuck at endgame having to run raids or dungeons for months requiring voice I'm just going to bounce off it. Any thoughts based on the first few days? [link] [comments] | ||
| Looking for Kinship on Brandywine Posted: 02 Jul 2021 09:14 AM PDT I'm currently looking for a kin that is active in old content (leveling/crafting/raiding). I am about to reach level 50. Any recommendations would be appreciated, thank you. Edit: I do plan on doing end game content, I would just like to get the most out of the expansions being that I stopped playing right before Moria and have just got back into it.

| Shadowfax for Epic Story only? Posted: 02 Jul 2021 04:43 AM PDT Greetings all, me and my partner love LotR. We played a long time ago, when parts of Gondor were released. When I started playing again 2 years ago, my partner told me "it would be great to relive the story in LotRO again, but only for the main story. Not with all the grinding we once did". And now, there is the new Shadowfax server. Sounds like the right place to experience the epic story once again. Right? Do you think its a good idea to go to the Shadowfax server for exactly those reasons? I am wondering if 2 month for the main story only isn't too long. For Shadows of Angmar, it may very well suffice. The base game is huge. But for the rest I am not so sure. Back then, we bought everything in chunks (we bought every single region that came out) instead of just subbing to get access to those regions. So, VIP is not really something we need unless we want to play on Shadowfax. Do you think it would also be possible to level with main story only on one of the existing servers? What would you recommend? Shadowfax or the regular servers? On a side note: I wonder what other reasons people have to join the Shadowfax server. If you are among those who chose this server, would you mind telling me why you did so? Thanks for taking your time to read through these lines! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 02 Jul 2021 07:33 AM PDT Can I get in trouble for playing LotRO with a VPN service? Nothing sketchy, just to improve my connection to the server. Recently, I've been considering testing and probably playing with a VPN service to try to improve connection speed and reliance. I'm from Brazil, my Ping ranges from 175ms to 250ms, and my Package Loss normally is around 2-5%. Nothing too bad but at bussy days it can get up to 400ms and it would be great to play at a lower ping with classes like the Warden and use Static abilities and not receive the message that I cannot use certain ability while moving.

There's always going to be ways to cheese, and we don't want to play whack-a-mole in perpetuity for players who are only spoiling their own fun" - Astonishing the new producer is incredible. I shall refrain from any other words , but he confirmed and marked his words that one can and will avoid combat together one of the many absurdness of "cheesing" deliberately allowing players to find a way to get XP not matter what. Beyond belief pathetic -- A lame defender appears -- "It's specifically the farming profession not "crafting" being the way to cheat. Ill-gotten titles and frames denigrate the well won accomplishments of others - players being cheated and beyond your colleagues caring, I'm inferring" "Ill-gotten"? They are spending the time, and money, to level through something a lot of players find mind-numbingly boring and couldn't handle doing. And your "well won" accomplishments are no more and no less "well won" than theirs, you just went about it differently; you both put in the time, effort, money, whatever to level how you wanted to in a manner which the game allows" Blinded by obvious in his/her opinion basically it does not matter , so the "time, effort, money will equate the title is worthy and you can hit it without touching your foe. When reading these comments some of these people are so lame and game all- together has fallen so low that I would not mind right now it closes , WELL NEARLY! There is more on officialame forums should you wish to be annoyed more. Thy call. You may hate me as much you want so shall it be so. There are hundreds of foolish points I can pin point that would take me eons of completing the thread, however I will make it more simplistic which is obviously the way considering how community is a lazy-folk mode of un-acknowledgement. Standing Stone Games has finally put a final slap and laugh gutting all what was once holly and original -- creating an unending chaos or Abnormality , changes that should not have been implemented. From milking the cash, luring with VIP only and " Handkerchief " item from illogical XP halve and ability TO STILL USE XP BOOSTS, TOMES OF 200% XP boost, DP boost, Perks and Certain pocket items or jewels to furthermore speed up the experience. - From loopholes of BYPASSING to quests with Mithril making Deadly6+ easy walk to avoiding areas with teleportation with mithril again. - TAGGING IS easy , anyone can follow group and get credit by simply leeching off other players thus rendering any challenge and making it easy once more. Another thing that should have been disabled. - THERE ARE ALREADY LEVEL 50'S as we speak. Yes there are THE -60XP is an illusion because there are so many waves of players to improvise and get their experience making it rather funny and neglected. - Of Difficulty - A complete ruination and forcefulness of kitting, RNG per luck of not getting shot ,random avoidance and careful and lucky pulling which is NOT BASED ON -Skill but patience and being focused yet again hanging on the very balance using either melee extended skill range or kitting with your ranged classes making fights longer than necessary and strictly limited. - As I have said in previous threads there ais chaos of having ability and way too much freedom with Store, buffts, boosts and shortcuts. Grouping in Deadly 6+ is not hard but stupidly cheap and tremendously non balanced with blurry Eye of Sauron buffs with SAME ENEMIES, SAME landscape , same revamped content, These Elites or group foes have same approach which in end only depends on tank not getting 1 slaughtered and careful pulling. The foes will burned down fast , imagine your typical Tier III-V instance run but on Landscape , a non creative bumping up with horror of some boar or elk having insane non curable de-buffs and so on.. -The grand miss-lead of slower re-opening of additional content ,the Ithil had Moria after 4 months on Treebeard twas stated about 5-6 months thus making it non effective for it had died after several weeks and enormous influx of players have lost interest and bailed off. -The combat and challenge and sense of progression is gone. It all depends about speed and how fast you can kill your foe and if you will be able to survive first attack. Certain mobs will shot fire balls such are Drakes or hurl rocks, Critical damage will slay you instantly , no armour or mitigation shall help you , no amount of skill nor speed nor your mastery or greatness will prevent RNG cheap death, That is not proper gameplay , that is a broken gameplay ,Randir. There will be instances like that and maybe not even heals will aid thee, even fi they do such approach is wrong and it was nowhere near that extreme in original game. I could talk until Morgoth breaks the doors of Night but futile attempt Twill for some players are blinded fans and hate me or hate anything even if its fact or truth stated here, they wont and they shall always refuse it. Everything that was sacred ,beautiful and original, unique and revolutionary was destroyed for greed and allure. These implementations and combat is a disgrace. It slammed game-play and that's not combat or thrill there it is dancing around your enemies keeping distance and trying to kill them off fast praying you don't get 1-2 hit with at Deadly 6+ mitigation, virtues and pretty everything except resistance and avoidance won't do nothing. An extremely chaotic put with such foolishness never seen before already players bragging they accomplished hitting 50 in few days having everything available from start. There is no proper classic progression and limitations There are many ways to solo way in avoiding ranged foes , picking up exact quests, sticking to skirmish grind or choosing wisely where to quest what to collect and what class to choose. There are ways to speed it up and hit 50 so easily that will make you head spin That title you will have means nothing at all. Content is the same. XP disabler can be disabled on Regular servers. The illusion of difficulty and slower release of older content once more spoiled you. The Treebeard will die off so fast, everyone will get fed of of getting 1 shooted or being obliterated by RNG or accidentally pulling off more than 2 enemies in the same time causing frustration , anger and disappointment but then its too late since they already wasted their nerves and VIP account purchase. You cannot ever visualise nor comprehend the true ardours tales of 2007/08 Alas Hast thou ever wondered or dreamed or cried out loud or regretted , or maybe even hated that thou didns't experience Shadows of Angmar? I do believe many souls have did now eternally confused and baffled ,circled around in webs of deceit and black holes a hole that only will suck upon an devour even more light and ultimately both of these "scam and utter catastrophe" of servers and game will finally be extinguished and flame will died out forever. Didnae? Yea or Nay. Nay. Classic never happen thus you have an abhorrent creation of ultimate shadow. A shadow has engulfed a game and it ends. Stunned therefore I am thereto truly on how people are easily convinced. You are seeing bunch of deluded players who are playing totally different version of LOTRO believing difficulty or new server is legendary and a fresh start which is not at all. There was clear difference of in depth and classic gameplay that had perfect balance not to current abomination of artificial mess causing some tasks not possible at all or ridiculously easy to bypass. The beauty and splendour of old game has but completely died out there are fragments left and it made me extremely sad to witness a total evisceration and changes beyond any repair. Sometimes I wish LOTRO has just ended , to be crushed to oblivion to such extent I can but turn my back away same as Christopher Tolkien did with shunning society and modern world, movies and media, I have had a privilege to play when it was meant to be and I still do but I had to say what they did and have annihilated last trace of what game was. Coming from a soul that was there since day I actually smiled right now and I feel pity truly pity for these beings what they do and where they have stumbled into world of madness and maelstrom of changes and ruination. May thy path ever be star-lit and may Wisdom prevails in thee not insanity as they have done with a new devilry which prevailed, but I must say tis pity -- CHAOS WRAPPED THEE AND THINE SOUL. The game has crumbled, decayed and disintegrated if I had to choose right now of two things -- a Classic the intact of version of certain code/patch from 2007 and 2008 and be able to play for a year and current mess for next 10 I would have picked the quite obvious Evidently. A complete and unimaginable shame and beyond bottomless pit. I shall say no more thus -- feeling pity for thee my dear Modern generation of a random player I do sincerely. Limbairedhiel, Spirit of Fire, Limbformstariel/Formennya Landroval US In priceless memory and defence of original I stand alone against many and firmly. I am the Grandmaster I am the High Queen of the Noldor Duje Belak *Signature* [link] [comments] | ||
