Angrenel goes runing…

Posted by MueR as Lord of the Rings Online

This post was written by Raedwulf, a raid leader of the Raids’R'Us group.

Yes, Runing; not running! Given what I’m like as a Loremaster, every cat that expressed an opinion reckoned I’d be going for a Runekeeper. Who am I to disappoint, eh? I took Angrenar for a run on the afternoon of the first day & got him more or less to the end of the Intro & L5; then as others came on in the evening, starting their Wardens & Keepers, out he came for some more practice, this time in fellowship. Most of the time, we had 2 Wardens (Rhyaewald & Tierlo), & 2 Keepers (Feylanna (Sil) & myself), briefly adding a 3rd Warden who happened to be in the vicinity. By the end of the night, we were all level 12, I think, so these comments should reflect a nice mix of the early stages of the new stuff.

The Warden – First Impressions

Posted by MueR as Lord of the Rings Online

With the release of Lord of the Rings Online: The Mines of Moria, we have seen the addition of the Warden class. After the short introduction to the class earlier, I’ve been able to play a Warden last night. My first impression: it’s good!.

Support has returned!

Posted by MueR as Lord of the Rings Online

As you might have read, I have not been overly happy with the level of customer support provided by Codemasters in the Lord of the Rings Online. Leaving people waiting for several hours before even answering bad, making them wait 2 months for an issue to be solved (and still not solving it) is worse. Read the rest of this entry »

Server status XML feed

Posted by MueR as Lord of the Rings Online

The Lord of the Rings is hot these days. First there were the amazing movies by Peter Jackson, now there is the MMORPG ‘The Shadows of Angmar’. Thousands of players are enjoying the great interpretation of Turbine to the world of Tolkien. Eriador was never as crowded. CodeMasters is the european operator of the game, Turbine handles the US players. For the first time in my life, I feel unlucky not to live in the USA.

Rise of a Blackarrow

Posted by MueR as Lord of the Rings Online, Monster Play

Free Peoples beware! Vanuit de diepe krochten van Snowbourn is een nieuw gevaar de Ettenmoors binnengeslopen. Angmar riep om versterkingen in Laurelin’s Ettenmoors, deze roep is beantwoord. Read the rest of this entry »

Een nieuwe start…

Posted by MueR as Lord of the Rings Online

Het is even geleden dat er weer een deel van mijn dagboek is geplaatst, maar ik heb het dan ook druk gehad.

Zo ben je namelijk nog een sterke hunter, een DPS machine waar Guardians moeite mee hebben. Het volgende moment betreed je een andere wereld en mag je weer opnieuw beginnen. Read the rest of this entry »

Glinghant Corrupted

Posted by MueR as Lord of the Rings Online, Raids / Instances

“Glinghant, the gardens of Annuminas — once a place of great beauty, now overgrown and fallen into ruin. The stagnant of waters of the gardens have become corrupted by the fell spirits of Angmar, and evil Men do their bidding. . . .”

Glinghant is een mooie instance, die erg uitdagend is. Vol met Darkwaters en Angarim is het een afwisselende en lastige plek. Een volledige fellowship is hier toch echt wel nodig. Met mijn kinship heb ik deze nu 2 keer geprobeerd, echter niet gehinderd door enige kennis over de instance ging dit redelijk fout. Read the rest of this entry »
