So I am a Lore-Master, Level 16 on the Riddermark server.
This is the character I am focusing on. I started one more (an Elf) when the Riddermark server was down on Meneldor, I think. But I am quite excited about how my Lore-master is progressing.
I can now call on a Bear as my ally.
You must be so advanced, I doubt we can be in a fellowship toegther....

I started in Bree area, yes. Archet, to be precise.
Not very far long in the epic chain. I've done the Amdir bit in that. Vol.1, I forget which chapter.
I've been focusing on increasing my levels, doing tasks etc. I want to buy a horse, but 4 Golds! Jeez.

Re: (For) Random Thoughts and Observations
I had been playing it pretty regularly up till this year. I technically still have a paid account, I absolutely would start up again with a partner in adventuring
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: (For) Random Thoughts and Observations
I got a lifetime sub so technically I can play anytime but in a particularly thematic fashion Mordor sucked all the joy out of the game for me. I still haven't made it to Erebor cause I can't face finishing the drudgery of Mordor

My highest character only just made it out of Rohan. lol I guess leveling wasn't ever my strong suit
I'll have to double check when I get home, I think it's still Landroval?
