Hi again.

I think that some of your responses to this thread I feel have mis-interpreted my true feelings that I was trying to put over to you all. I cant understand why in some cases I am being told to go play some where else, that in itself is not appropriate thing to do in this case.

I was pointing out all the mundane task that should not be a part of this game or in fact most MMO's. At Helms Deep when you are finally getting to the best part of this section, you have to pick up a barrel of stuff and run 700m to the fortress???? This is endemic in most of the game, also very much endemic throughout all the game is the running about I.E. speak to Legolas the speak to Gimli then speak to who ever. Running players all over the place to earn what?

I have taken every bodies views on board and hope Lotro have as well. I have 8 characters and everyone of them I am proud of there progress and what and who they are. But think of this: My favourite Character is a Female Warden now level 94. I am proficient in everything from traits to crafting, when I first go to a village,town or city were I might meet a King or a Thane or even a shop keeper they all need my help. I am a Hero of the game. To be told to pick up sheep s**t is not what I expect the way to be treated..

Perhaps the writers will take this on board, I do not know but if I was ask to make something for that King or who ever according to my trade I would be delighted to do that. Organise the defences of that place or use the riding skills a bit more. What I am really saying is that I do not want to earn xp by doing pointless menial task. When you have maxed out one character you want to feel and want to develop your next character and not dread doing parts of it.

As I have said in a previous post this is just a game and the storyline is just a guide, even if the want to go beyond the storyline as it stands and come up with another adventure to add on, I will support that. But I hear you say a big fat NO, I would like them to develop new stuff based on good characters and the finest writers to date. I.E. Terry Goodkind and the Sword of Truth Series, David Eddings and any of his series will make a good game. But that is for the future and now we can crisis's what we have and hope to make it better and that is possible.
