what lvl is everyone and did anyone send me mail cant get it as i dont have the full game

here's the latest update on f2p from codemasters:

Dear players,

We wanted to give you an update as to the status of Free to Play
launching in Europe. Unfortunately there is no concrete news other than
to say we are working hard with Turbine to get the new LOTRO Free to
Play game code to you as quickly as we are able to. We are still
tracking end of the month for launch but will update you should this
alter in any way.

As we updated previously, things are looking good from an infrastructure
point of view here. There are other challenges we are facing but hope
these will be resolved soon.

As some of you have noticed we have enabled a bonus 5% XP event and free
travel as well as opening all LOTRO accounts that had lapsed. For those
of you that are new to LOTRO, you can start playing for free with our
trial which is available from: http://www.lotro-europe.com/trial.

As always, thanks for your patience and good humour during this period of waiting.

Guys,

i'll be on tonight from around 8pm if anyone is up forgoing Helms Deep.

hello guys some bad news. yesterday my 8800gt bit the dust. started getting green dots on my screen and several blue screen of deaths. i tried everything,tried in another pc too. ive put in an old 8500gt and that works fine but its crap at gaming.   bit gutted as i pre ordered f1 2010 from steam too, but at least they  give refunds on pre orders. im gonna give lotro a try but i cant imagine it running too well. probably will have to cancel  for a while. 

have fun with the game guys, i will be back very soooon.

aye it sucks, i just tried with the 8500 and its medium low.  it doesnt feel right lol.    i will take a look at that card. im kinda gonna look for something thats not too expensive.  whats todays equivilent to an 8800gt?  ive had it 2 years i think…?

i dont know how new your pc, is but you will need a pci-e slot on your mobo and a psu with 2 pci-e power cables to run a card like that

yes dave the card should be fine with that psu, the only other thing to check is that you have enough room under the card eg there isnt a sound card directly under it as it takes up 2 spaces with the big heatsink and fan

you didnt miss much guys – me and mavine took a trip to the north downs and then ran into some major lag before being booted off the server

we can pick up where we left off another time

civ5 demo is calling in any case

things seem to have gone a bit quiet of late – I guess the lack of free to play news has knocked the stuffing out of the nice momentmum that we had building up

given the problems we had on tuesday is anyone up for a meet up on sunday, or has everyone decided to play halo instead?
