[Clover]

Within the depths of Othrongroth, the Great Barrow in the Barrow-downs of Cardolan, dwells a Gaunt-man of terrible power.

Sheesh. You'd think if he was all that, he'd get some better clothes.

Let's see, he's that dead guy in the Great Barrow, right?

Oh wait, they're all dead guys in the Great Barrow.

Kinda hard to get into the details of that place -- too much noise and fight and lowbies learning how to play to really sit back and take in the story.

Really? A Great Barrows sub boss? Really?

How about some Moria goodness? How about some Lorien teasers? Even an in-depth lore article about the Rift or Annuminas or Forochel or Goblin-town would be awesome.

But Great Barrow? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I thought it was an interesting read, thanks Clover!

Come now... Not everyone is in Moria, and I for one found it an interesting read (if a bit short). I'd actually like to see more of the stories behind the lower-level instances. Like Gneech said, most of the lower instances are a bit too hectic to figure everything out as you go, especially with folks still not fully proficient in their classes. For that matter, the higher-end instances are a bit hectic, too :P

I don't know about you, but I've heard Glath do her speech outside the balrog room so many times it's burned into my brain now.

Nice to see a bit of the background touched on here. I think the lore is an area that can be greatly expanded and visited more often in daily announcements. Need more writers Turbine?

I've done the Barrows numerous times and I had no idea who he was until you mentioned the part about the key. Then I said, "Oh yeah, him." Sambrog is memorable, this guy not so much.

This topic is so random and unexpected...

[Ragnvald]

I think what most people remember about this guys is that his scripting has a bug in it right now, where he disappears when his adds come out. (instead of walking back to his spot) Some of the low levels in my kin were doing this the other day and they thought he was re-setting, and gave up.


And he drops that awesome braclet, Armband of Balance!

These posts about the lower level bosses is like a stroll down memory lane.
The GB was my old kins first big kin night event. It was a blast. We got 2 full groups, all kinnies, to go through and clear the instance.

Fun times.

It seems a lot of new people have come to the game since MoM was released. Personally i've never seen the lonelands as busy as it has been recently, there are adventurers everywhere. In light of this i think it's totally a relevant topic to talk about Thadur and his ravagings. Nice work.

I think he is the hardest in the barrow but plz dont nerf him its fun as a challenge i liked reading about his past

[dandaron]

I think if the barrow downs /GB were a bit later in the game and they made it a bit harder a lot more players would feel up too doing it, ya i get plenty of LFF's asking to do it when i cruise through Bree (many of them tells asking a lvl 60 such as myself to give a hand) but i know quite a few people that skip though areas like that entirely because its too annoying to get a consistent group sometimes, still i went in at lvl 16 while on my trial (yes its crazy) and got beaten so hard that all my armor fell off because I couldn't go repair it, it was ugly and scary but I finished it darn it and that halberd on a lvl 16 capt was SO freaken sweet
