I took this picture quite some time ago, and I have had it as my computer background for just as long. I absolutely love the way it came out

Those dyes are spensive!

Has anyone else's graphics got weird, lost a lot of detail? it's only in like certain swaths of a large area and other large areas look normal.

I started when moria came out and have had many long breaks, 9 years at one point, I've upgraded and replaced my pc and gaming laptop multiple times. And whome ot the best i can play most gmaes on ultra or around that area.

And still the old forest murders Performance.

I started playing a little bit a couple of years ago but my free time has significantly decreased.

Do you think it's still worth playing if I only get an hour or 2 a day to play?

Never been a big MMO guy but I absolutely love LOTR and Middle Earth. I definitely enjoyed it when I played last but I would play for 5 hours at a time.

Coming back to Peregrin after some time away and I'm thinking about RPing as a Dourhand Dwarf who is disillusioned with his people, and seeks to rid them of the yoke of Angmar. That's the rough idea, anyways.

I'm curious how you lovely and creative folks would go about such a RP. What class you would play, how you would interact with the world, aesthetic, etc.

I was just wondering if there is a best time of year to buy expansions on sale with my lotro points? Is there a best time of year or is it all just random?

What is the highest % off you could expect to get on sale for big events like black friday?

How many lotro points would you need if you bought all expansions on sale?

Are quest packs included with expansions?

What is the likelyhood that they give a huge coupon code again that gives you content for free?

Thank you for any info.

Basically, I have an armor design of my own (the sketch above) that I wanna recreate in LOTRO, and so far the closest I got with my search was the helmet but even then, it has antlers instead of dragon horns.

Regarding the colour scheme, the armor/metallic parts are supposed charcoal black (aka unpolished armor - she can't afford the luxury of the shiny silver look lol) but given my limited choices I'm willing to settle for the "normal" metallic colours too. Pants were meant to be navy blue but at this point, any type of black or grey can do, IT JUST HAS TO BE BAGGY. The undershirt, it can be any type of cold or neutral dark colour, since it is not very visible anyway.

I have been trying to sort through the database myself for some time, alas it seems I have to request the aid of the community now.

Hey everyone! I know the community wiki technically has a new player guide but I have always felt it was lacking as it doesn't really cover many core gameplay elements like virtues, trait trees, or stuff like that. I would like to remedy that by making a comprehensive ultimate new player guide for the game. Some planned sections of my guide will include:

"Virtuosity: VXP, Virtues, and How to Become the Hero Middle-Earth Needs You to Be"
"Trait Trees and How to Use Them"
"Dude, Where's My Stuff? Item Bags and Inventory Management"
"Stats and Tacts and Mits Oh My!"
"Legen - hope you're not allergic to milk because the next word is -dary. Legendary Items and You."

I want it to be as comprehensive as possible. As of now I'm not sure if it'll go beyond level 50, but if it does well there is potential for possible guides for each expansion.

With all that being said, what are some absolutely need to know tips or tricks for newbies? It can be anything from common questions in chat or even simply resources floating around on the interwebs!

I'm getting into raids a little more casually and looking for plugins to help me track what I need to, playing a support class and trying to keep track of which of my debuffs and buffs are currently active and need refreshing or applying stacks with other classes, is there a plugin to help with this?

Any kins on Meriadoc willing to take in a relative newbie? Reached level 23 this evening and would love a place to hang/make friends!
