I didn't realise we already had a champion class.  So if DuggyDarko wants to stay as a champion, I'm happy to take on a class that we don't already have?

Hi

 

New burglar on snowbourne = Kodachi – it means short sword in japanese in case anyone is interested!

 

I have a low 20s LM so may pick that character back up when we all get to that level.

mikeydredlox – dredorin, human guardian

altered_ego – deanen, human hunter

cagedthunder – mavine, human  champion

craigieh – minstrel ?

mixindave – roychubbybrown, captain

ancient gamer – kodachi, burglar

duggydarko – ? champion

 

there are 7 of us and 7 classes (excluding the 2 premium classes) – the only class we dont have is the loremaster which is a caster/pet class

however AG has one at lev20, one possibility would be either duggy or caged rolls a burglar and AG switches to loremaster later on – having said that though 2 champs would be absolutely fine, and bear in mind maximum group size is 6 so if we are all online together we will have to split up in any case

just some tips I thought of whilst playing this morning, mainly for those new to the game

 

tab
- use tab key to select nearest enemy, and use tab to toggle through all enemies nearby

num lock
- press numlock to toggle run on/off

follow
-right click on another player and select follow to stick to that player, useful when going afk

repair
-dont forget to repair your items at vendors, make sure you are only repairing equipped items (option for this in settings)

autoloot
- in settings choose always autoloot, makes it much quicker to pick up dropped loot

food
- can be useful for getting stat bonuses, drag to quickslots and use before a battle

destiny points
- make sure the option to show destiny points window is ticked, spend points for nice stat and xp bonuses

bind
- dont forget to bind your character to binding stone in the middle of town

Mixindave – If you see Kodachi on give me a shout and I'll help you out with that quest (i'll log on Tamriel my 53 hunter).

 

It is the only one that I had difficulty soloing.  Because it isn't an instance they don't give you the superbuff that you get for the other quests.  It's a right bugger for a hunter because of the adds etc.

OK so I've got my new guardian to the end of the epic prologue – I am now at lev 12. It gets a bit tricky towards the end so if any other human characters need a hand give me a shout – otherwise I will hang on until the rest of you catch up

So with today being Monday I think it would be great if we could all get online this evening for the first of our official Middle Earth Mondays

 

For those seeing this thread for the first time or who havent looked at the forum for a couple of days we have switched servers to:

 

EN-Snowbourne

 

the idea is to get to the end of the epic prologue quests solo, but if you need help please shout

there may be some of you who have yet to re-roll, and I dont want those of us who have finished the EP to get too far ahead of you, so tonight should be about helping out where necessary, possibly rolling alts to bolster our character numbers, and if we have enough – to get Helms Deep up and running

 

confirmed character names so far are 

dredorin

mavine

 roychubbybrown

 kodachi

davegar

tamriel

 

please add to friends list – I will be on tonight from about 8.30, see you all in Middle Earth

I've just been online with Mavine, and a foxy looking chick she is too smile

It seems that the free trial does not allow you to progress onto Book1 of the epic quest line, which I guess makes sense

It's only 4 days though until the f2p starts (if we can get onto the server then) – in any case there my be other players who still need to catch up

Depending on who is around tonight we could venture into the old forest to do some of the side quests in there – will need to remind myself where to pick the quests up from

to answer my own question – old forest quests start at:

buckland
southern bree fields
adso's camp
and the old forest itself

aye top fun tonight, and a fine ass Mavine has too – although there is definitely some competition there with Kodachi Smile

can I politely request there is not too much beefing up outside of Mondays sessions, maybe 1-2 sessions max so that we dont get to far apart levelwise – I've got other games to play and other stuff to do and I'd rather keep with Mondays as my main lotro day – just keep an eye on friends tab to make sure noone is being left behind

one option is if people want to play more often they use alts and keep one for the MLG sessions – sorry to be a bit of a bore about this but I've seen too many really fun solid groups break up when level gaps get too wide, plus I want to enjoy it and not get burnt out from putting too many hours in and it becoming a chore

top fun again – hopefully the servers wont be too rammed when f2p goes live
