Who would you rather hang out with, Shadowfax or Treebeard, and why?

I'd hang out with Treebeard obviously. I don't know how to communicate with horses as I wasn't raised by Elves. I don't care if it takes Treebeard a morning to describe said morning (and I want to see him beat Saruman)!

**jademarie3** · Jul 02 2021, 06:20 PM

I would rather be with Treebeard. Too much of my life is spent in a rush. He would be good in slowing things down so I can appreciate daily life. I like his viewpoint on many things and could learn a lot from horses. Shadowfax would be great in getting me to work all the time but unless I start speaking horse, I would be having conversations with myself, which probably wouldn't appear sane.

**Starliteyes** · Jul 02 2021, 06:36 PM

Shadowfax. Horse. Nuff said.

**bto** · Jul 02 2021, 06:40 PM

Definitely Treebeard. I'm sure he raps better than any horse.

**MacApple** · Jul 02 2021, 07:15 PM

With Treebeard . . . because in fact he might be slower, but has many epic stories, poems, jokes etc. in store — and he's extraordinary strong and tall so that you can always enjoy a wonderful distant view from his shoulders and so on.

**Ruisert** · Jul 02 2021, 07:23 PM

Yeah, gonna go with Treebeard too. Even very special horses aren't very good conversationalists, unless they can talk...

**Drahxor** · Jul 02 2021, 08:11 PM

Shadowfax for sure

**Raven_Shadow** · Jul 02 2021, 10:07 PM

I'd rather hangout with Shadowfax because I love animals, we could quickly travel the world together & I don't think I have the attention span to listen to Treebeard tell his stories super slowly unfortunately

**flyingty1** · Jul 02 2021, 10:32 PM

Treebeard, maybe he knows the answer to what the heck is up with Tom Bombadil!

**Stacht** · Jul 02 2021, 11:32 PM

Treebeard so we can talk about old times

**LadyLuin** · Jul 03 2021, 02:12 AM

I pick Treebeard; it's not every day that one is able to hold a conversation with a tree!

**Iulius_42** · Jul 03 2021, 03:22 AM

Treebeard, because.... wisdom!

**Helmyt** · Jul 03 2021, 05:35 AM

Better with Shadowfax. He will always listen. He will always understand. He won't argue. It will not delay the conversation for the whole day.

**Wilibrad** · Jul 03 2021, 06:08 AM

Treebeard. He one of oldest person in Middle earth and must know many interesting.

**Galadi** · Jul 03 2021, 06:19 AM

It's a hard question! I love animals but I think I would choose Treebeard this time. Maybe I couldn't get an immediate answer but at least we would have loooooooong chats

**Laubgaenger** · Jul 03 2021, 06:28 AM

Who would you rather hang out with, Shadowfax or Treebeard, and why?:

I played on Anor, i like the old Raid and Instances. So Treebeard would stay longer in the nicer Level Areas.
As i played the Story in Anor i feel sorry, that we skip the Level 65 Area so fast, as we had BG and OD (that is badly Scaled) to play for a short time.
I Love in addition the Tower of Orthanc and here we get a bit more time so enjoy the or one of the greatest Raid.

So the Level Cap Space is slower on Treebeard i would go to this Server.

ohhh there is a "with" and not an "on", but i think i will stay with Treebeard, as he has a lot to talk about. I hope i have enough patience to wait for his answers :-)

**ForthDauntless** · Jul 03 2021, 07:20 AM

I'd rather chill with Treebeard. He's got stories and plenty of time to tell them. I wouldn't mind having access to those Ent draughts, either.

**PieRat** · Jul 03 2021, 07:33 AM

Neither. Horses and trees aren't allowed in pubs.

If the NPCs with Shadowfax because he can be really fast when needed but he can also stop & smell the roses when is worthy. On the other hand Treebeard will make me get late to all appointments; only way to make him be hasty is if you tell him you saw the entwives where you are going.

**shoreless** · Jul 03 2021, 12:27 PM

At first I was going to say Treebeard, because who wants to talk with a horse? Then I thought about *going fast*! So I say Shadowfax.

**xTURIONx** · Jul 03 2021, 12:45 PM

For sure Treebeard, because Shadowfax is too hasty!

**ElfRanger** · Jul 03 2021, 02:22 PM

Shadowfax because Treebeard is too slow. Nothing against it in general, but not a good match for me.

**can0peas** · Jul 03 2021, 07:56 PM

Treebeard, as he reminds me of my first boss. Every word . . . was . . . measured . . . weighed . . . and calibrated . . . to be . . . the . . . exact . . . word . . . he . . . wanted . . . to use. Of course, he was an engineer...

On another topic, so the Beacon will be returning on June 23rd... perhaps Treebeard can assist with some editing, you hasty fellow!

**auximenes** · Jul 03 2021, 11:16 PM

Shadowfax would be fun for his lifespan, but if you're in it for a long-term friend then Treebeard is the way to go. Imagine all of the conversations you could have with him.
