Really? With the exception of this year, I've always seen my kin numbers swell in the summers, largely because the young folk are out of school, people are taking more time off of work to engage in...

I like it. Helps mitigate the cost of moving characters, and leaves the decision in the hands of the players regarding whether they want to move or not.

Interesting preview, one of multiple recent articles they've done on LOTRO developments. It's nice to see fan sites keeping up with the latest happenings.

Not sure where you got any sense of drama. I am not offended in the slightest. I simply think it is inappropriate to imply that there is something wrong with expressing an opinion, positive or...

I thought the community was supposed to be more open and welcoming than criticizing someone for having a different idea of what is or isn't interesting in a video game. For that's what LOTRO is,...

When I realized that the area seemed to be a cross between the old RoI 'tracking an old goat' mechanic and the RoR Eaves of Fangorn huorn-following mechanic, I bailed. Both mechanics (having to get...

You really should be clear that you're talking about what's important 'for you', not what is important for me, or other players. For me, this is nothing more or less than a video game, and for me,...

Yeah I've had some icky pug experiences too. They really can be awful. I guess I was super lucky when I started the game, because in about 5 minutes I ended up in a sweet, noob-friendly,...

This snip (sorry if I cut out context) highlights my main question about that 'less than 10%' number. If the Vile Maw has been done by nearly everyone, then nearly everyone has done a raid, and...

Ah, I see. That makes way more sense than how it seemed to be written. I don't see people doing that much though--I see people saying what they personally like or not, not what others should like or...

LOL, what else would a forum exist for? You tell me how you feel about the game, where you struggle, ask for help or advice, share your guidance about what's worked for you, and I do the same. Why...

I don't see anything wrong with describing our personal experiences and what we choose to do or not, as long as nobody is saying it's wrong to do one or the other. And Turbine has said quite clearly...

That really is mind-blowing, isn't it? Especially considering that group content used to be required to finish the epics, so it's fascinating to think about how many players back in those days must...

So what if forum users aren't the majority? That does not mean at all that non-forum users aren't interested in the issues we discuss here. I used to be friends with many players who posted here,...

A number means nothing if we do not know how it was defined and measured. There are all kinds of possibilities here for that percentage:

--% of characters played in the last 30 days who have...

Here's one more thing that I would like to see: the ability for people interested in group content to openly express our concerns and disappointment on the forums about the decision to no longer...

Covering isn't 'bare-chested' by definition. There is no sort-of-covered equivalent of 'bare'. If you're asking for a shirt that shows more skin than existing ones do, that's a very different thing...

How exactly would a bare-chested female be 'modest'? It's either bare or it's covered, no? And how would topless females be appropriate in a Tolkien-oriented setting, where such garb isn't ever...

Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm really just looking for clarification, not expressing any opinion. The threads in the raids forum on this topic are mostly closed, one with a reminder about...

Wow, what a great point. I never would have thought of that! I wonder how this gets considered in the calculation of raiding numbers?

:)

I play the same way you do, which prompted my question. I RP, craft, do 3/6/12 instances, skirmish, solo/duo/trio quest and deed content. I love festivals and music and events and cosmetics...

Sapience, since you mentioned the use of data in making the decision about future raid development, I'm curious about the use of data in deciding which new systems to develop that players haven't...

Wait, you're saying LOTRO bored you to tears?

I sympathize--I only ran hunters for the longest time, and there were certain light armour barter pieces that I really really wished I could get. When the trait trees came out and I didn't want to...

I think that's a very interesting idea. Especially having a centralized system for finding kinships that are recruiting. As a new player, how fun and immersive would it be, instead of wandering...
