    Oh well, good to see they are giving quite a bit to the premium and F2P members in this update.

    You were saying? This is why I look at official info from the main source, not some article or news release.

    Yeah, been catching up on the info.

    Right now, I am in the Misty Mountains doing my Chapter quests and farming ore.

    I have been informed that if you have low level characters, wait to play them. After the update on Monday, it will be easier to level.

    Dont forget to sell you seeds now before the patch. After the patch, the value of them in the AH will drop quite a bit.

    Woohoo for fast travel and rep mounts!!! I wonder if Mathom Society will get one.

    Kyrow, rearrange the games in your list to where the initials read LARP (live action roleplay). I miss Amtgard... and for those who are wondering... yes, its the game they played in Role Models.

    Monster play is getting a huge update with the Q1 update and that will bring Monster play to the free players. Alls I gotta say is stay tuned! Its getting better and better.

    Cyber changed up the sig for ya bud.

    @DarkSpine: I believe SilverLode for Onrpger's..I'm on Arkenstone, I may reroll on Silverlode eventually.

    I'm playing on Brandywine, though a few members here seem to play on Silverlode.

    And a nice little update here. I've seen a few parts of this update discussed, but it's good to see all the specifics. Cheers kyrow~ :3

    Actually, they are gonna be changing PvMP to where anyone can participate. I dont know when though.

    If you want to check out anything that they are testing for future updates, I suggest downloading the Beta test client for Bullroarer. It where they test the future updates.

    My friend had similar space issues. Heres what I did. I put the installed files onto a flash drive. If you must do it in parts. Transfer info from flash drive to your comp. Good luck!

    Yes it will be. There will be more F2P content coming in the beginning of the year. Don't really know when.

    Looking forward to the Winter Holm event in December.

    Access Moria, Mirkwood, Lothlórien, and Enedwaith regions
    Note: You will still need to purchase the appropriate quest packs or expansion packs to access other content (quests, deeds, instances, classes, etc) in these areas.

    So they're letting people run around in the areas, but they can't do anything there unless they buy it. GENIUS.

    Pointless update on that end.

    Looking forward to it too.

    Thinking of subbing a month so I can make some characters that get the sub bonus after the sub is gone.

    Full bags
    No gold limit
    Free swift travel

    What I think is good is you get access to the Legendary Gear without needing the expansion purchase.

    Did you make sure you downloaded the US version? When you sign up on lotro.com, there's a few flags in the top right, make sure the US flag is highlighted.

    Well, I'll start back up and make an elven loremaster after this update. Hated that old starting zone, can't wait to see the new one. So... majority is Silverlode or Brandywine? Should simply ask where the OnRPG focused guild is rather than sparse members.
