I hadn't reinstalled LOTRO since redoing my notebook a few weeks ago. Warcraft has been dominating my gaming efforts, so I didn't feel a need. So this morning during WoW's regular weekly maintenance and restarts, I installed LOTRO, then copied the backup files I burned to DVD before wiping the previous installation.
I found my level 24 Guardian, Flughorin, sitting at the southern edge of the Fields of Fornost. A great area for my level, with several mining nodes and level 25-27 mobs all within close range of vendor NPC, making grinding/selling/repairing very convenient. Half an hour of grinding Barghests and some Oath Breakers got me to level 25, and my total coin up to just over 900 silver. I'll be donating my coin and bank to the kinship here soon, as the upcoming Housing feature will be expensive.
Although lacking much of the fantasy and magic aspects I enjoy in Warcraft, LOTRO is always a relaxing, enjoyable experience for me. My Kinship, Kindred Spirits is a great bunch of people to game with, on both the LOTRO and WOW fronts. These folks help me keep what's left of my sanity while out on the road :-)
Well, back to WOW. Gotta check up on those 85 auctions I posted last night...
