The announcement of fresh content for Lords of the Rings Online has lifted my spirits at the end of the dark winter grind inside Moria. Volume 2 Book 7 will greatly expand Lorien and provide well awaited sunshine filled exploration in what is probably the largest wood-based environment since I was a noob in The Old Forest which sits on The Shires' borders.
It was just a fling, you must believe me my Sweet!
I've actually squeezed some fun out of LOTRO recently. A lunch time run through one of Eregions instances that only took an hour and also managing to complete Book 4 with a pickup group. Another tussle with The Watcher (in the water) no less. I've no doubt I havent seen the last of him. I still find Moria tiresome though. Last night I was trudging through the initially impressive Waterworks - a huge sewer network deep under the mountain. But it does not really do it for me, slowly swimming around killing countless toads and lizards. Poor blighters, what did they ever do to Dwarves?
I don't bother with crafting either. Except just to level my proficiency when the mood takes me, I've only just acquired Artisan Weaponsmith status. In fact for my questing troubles I was awarded a handful of Teal Critical scrolls, forget the proper name. I took two seconds to greedily decide I would rather have the cash and was pleasantly surprised to get 2.5 Gold from the auction!Still, the plan is to get Books five and six done and then I can stagger out through the other side blinded by the sunshine of The Wilderness east of the Misty Mountains.
I love the Spring.
