We're Still Kickin

Sorry about the lack of updates. I've been extremely busy with work which hasn't left me much time to log in. We're still alive. We're raiding Rift more often on weekends. Some of our members are getting more active in PVP. Others are still having fun completing the books or tradeskilling. That's really about it. Hopefully I'll have some time in the future to do an update full of little witty remarks and whatnot as well as some screenshots.

Barz dead...super secret strat!

So we're finally starting to run some instance raids in LOTR. We took a few runs at Barz, and we finally worked out the strat. So now that Barz is dead, next we're gonna be working on Zurm

We also managed to discover a super secret exploit for the Barz encounter! If you wanna know what it is, keep on reading!

So I've been boring lately

So sue me. The problem is just that LOTRO is just such an easy game. I know, some people are better than others, but over all it's very easy. It's extremely hard to screw up without blatant stupidity. Everyone ends up with very similar gear, and the virtues have fairly small effects when all is said and done, and everyone eventually will get the same class traits.

So that means you all see the same things and you all fight the same things, so what's the point of going out of my way to put up screenshots?

So instead, I'll link to some information on how experience works.

So here.

Now have some Pie.

Mob Violence Rocks Middle Earth

Tensions reached a boiling point today between farmers and goblin slayers when the goblin slayer union reached an agreement with the weaponsmith community to sell only vastly inferior farming tools to the pipeweed union. Previously, pipeweed tools were capable of extracting multiple seeds from seed quality plants; the agreement stipulates that in the future only one seed may be extracted while the rest of the plant is mangled. Outraged pipeweed crossbreeders rallied in Staddle and Hobbiton with chants of "Pipe-weed for life" and "Cross-breed or NO WEED".

The Hobbiton rally resulted in only minor property damage and seed strewn tables and ground, but the Staddle rally turned ugly. Sparked by an unknown raven, the mob turned on Ponto Underhill, venting their fury onto the local vendor.

A farmer, who we have agreed not to identify for fear of reprisals, said he saw the local constables drag Ponto away amid shouts and fireballs. Ponto is reported to be in critical conditions in a local healer's hut. No arrests were made.
