Dunland – Oh, Guto. When Will You Learn?

Once I left the Grey Company back in Enedwaith I was free to move forward into Dunland.  I headed back to the first settlement I had stumbled upon, having had the foresight to grab the stable master location while I was there. [caption id="attachment_134210" align="aligncenter" width="600"] My first look at Dunland[/caption] That is Lhan Tarren, which I think is Dunlandish for Tarren Mill.  Or maybe that is just what I want to believe.  But it is the home of the Stag Clan in Dunland.  […]

Lag and Loathing in Lothlorien

Lt. Colonel Giles Vandeleur: Joe? Joe, how the hell do they expect us to keep schedule on a road like this? Lt. Colonel J.O.E. Vandeleur: You don't know the worst. This bit we're on now? Lt. Colonel Giles Vandeleur: Yes? Lt. Colonel J.O.E. Vandeleur: It's the wide part. -A Bridge Too Far (film), 1977 I don't know if it is the zone, that more people have piled into the Glamdring server, if housing having been opened up to the masses caused a change, or if something else is going on, but […]

Out the Far Side of Moria and into Lothlorien

I played a lot of LOTRO over the weekend.  It was that or finish our taxes, and who wants to do that?  So even as I wrapped up the last post about getting to the Twenty-First Hall, I went back and pressed forward towards the first hall and the light at the end of the tunnel.  Or mines.  Or whatever.

Moria, The Twenty-First Hall, and My First Reforge

As noted last time around, I had lingered to the end in Eregion, running out of quests.  It was then time, about half way into level 53, to head into Moria. [caption id="attachment_133872" align="aligncenter" width="600"] The doors are open, darkness awaits[/caption] Moria is an odd mix for me.  I have been into it enough times that I remember quite clearly some of it.  I know that at least six characters of mine have arrived through the Hollin Gate, even it only three have ever […]

LOTRO 64-Bit Server Transfers and My Character Inventory

Transfers are currently available from our 32-bit game worlds to Peregrin and Meriadoc. Additionally, free transfers are now available from Orcrist to Meriadoc. All transfers to Glamdring and Orcrist are temporarily unavailable. Housing remains unavailable to purchase, and we will announce when housing opens. -LOTRO Discord, Friday March 21, 2025 The wheel of server transfer time continues to weave an erratic and hapless pattern as SSG continues to try to work their way through this mess […]

The First Stop on the Way to Mordor… The Bank

Didn't I have a post last week that I opened up with something about not declaring goals for my play time?  And yet, here I am declaring an ambitious goal.  Swept up as I have been with the excitement of the new LOTRO 64-bit servers and their promise of better game performance, I am setting my sights on Mordor. [caption id="attachment_59293" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Mordor, we have an eye on you![/caption] My sweeping goal is to get to Mordor by the most expeditious route... […]
