Re: Lord of the Rings Online going Free to Play!
Is it realistic to stick to 30 minute sessions? The reason I don't game is that I find it hard to self-limit on absorbing activities. But if the group sets the time limit, that might work for me.
Also, my Win10 laptop is a 5yo, cheap model, and runs on firewood. Is it even worth trying?

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

I'd say yes, it's still going to be better than the XP laptops that came out 15 years ago which ran the game...Frelga wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 7:17 pm Is it realistic to stick to 30 minute sessions?

The dumbest thing I've ever bought
was a 2020 planner.
"Does anyone ever think about Denethor, the guy driven to madness by staying up late into the night alone in the dark staring at a flickering device he believed revealed unvarnished truth about the outside word, but which in fact showed mostly manipulated media created by a hostile power committed to portraying nothing but bad news framed in the worst possible way in order to sap hope, courage, and the will to go on? Seems like he's someone we should think about." - Dave_LF

Re: Lord of the Rings Online going Free to Play!
I agree with elengil - that’s what I used to play on. You can just set the graphic resolution to less.
And yes, we (R and I) stopped playing for the same reason. I was pretty sure I would not make tenure if I Continued. . But with us limiting time, it could work.
It doesn’t *have* to be 30 mins. That was just a number I threw out for some level of minimal play.

I'm still downloading it - 64% done.
I wonder if my internet is too slow to play it?

Maybe they beefed it up since to take advantage of new hardware?

Nah, I'm still on crappy internet. I mean, there's some lag, but it's not insurmountable.

After all that downloading, I get an error when I try to open it. Sigh.

Yeah, it doesn't really like windows 10, depending on the error there are various fixes, but sometimes just some restarts is enough.

What does it like? Because I love you, guys, but I am not paying Apple prices just to play a game. pets old trusty laptop that was $250 in 2016 and also has touch screen

Re: Lord of the Rings Online going Free to Play!
What I meant was it has some problems with 10 initially but they're all resolvable. I use Windows 10 to play, don't worry, it just might throw some errors at first (as has happened to myself, Inanna, and now Jude.)
It more has a little tantrum than refuses to work.
