So I finally decided to do something with my my.lotro page since it seems I am going to be around for a good long time and just in case I finally get a job soon and don’t have time to do this page.

I also just joined a completely awesome Kin, Bounders of the Shire, and that has inspired me to get my images and character biographies posted.

Rolled a new dwarf yesterday.  Though I think Hobbits are much more fun to play, Dwarves are my favorite race in Middle Earth and in the game.  (Thorin was my hero when I read the Hobbit for the first time.  He’s probably still my favorite character as well.)  I’m really enjoying going through the dwarf starter area with the aid of the quest assistant.  I usually ended up running my dwarves through the Shire when I was trying out classes because I just couldn’t find anything and now I get to do the actual dwarf quests and see new things.  I am also enjoying being a Champion.  Wow… I melee A LOT in this game.  I think that’s interesting because I am almost exclusively a ranged-DPS player in every single other MMO I have ever played.

Tanked for a group against elites yesterday with my Hobbit guardian and I don’t think it did too badly.  Privately, I am going to continue refering to myself as ‘Fail Tank’ for a few more weeks, however.

Waiting for the servers to come back up so I can take screenshots.
