[CopperSol]

so I just downloaded the game 2 days ago ... hoping to catch some of online to play together

No tailors? Im gonna be sending mails soon

[Revalis]

I'm a tailor (revalis)... just hate the fact I have to rely on a Forester for leather. >_<

But if you're a forester, can I send you all my hide to convert?

[Amarantus]

I am also a weaponsmith. Level 20 and master journeyman. However I won't be back in town until the 20th.

[Paitryn]

I think I'll pass this time. everytime i get into something we end up dropping it a few weeks later. maybe this time it'll have staying power cuz im not in there lol.

Tolacar is a Historian profession.  Which means I'm Scholar, Weaponsmith and Farmer.  Arguably one of the least profitable.  But, I have them all top tier, and I'm in the Scholar Guild (which may or may not mean a lot to you all right now).

While I know Ex probably has enough to cover pretty much anything anyone would need, I'm around if you need anything too.  I'm quite happy to give out mats (if I have them) and help with some quests if need be.  I am lvl 65 so I guess only ask for help if you want to breeze through it.  That being said, they've made all the Epic Quests possible to complete solo.

Also, I'm happy to just give advice on things, or where to find bits and bobs.  While I haven't rolled alts and played it through like Ex, I have been around since it launched, and know most of the places like the back of my hand. Except, Moria...I hated Moria...

Just add Tolacar, or find me on Steam, and yell.

[Arawn]

Revalis im a forester... So send me the mats and ill convert and send em back. Im gonna be sending mails now to free my inv/vault! Check your inbox ;P

[Tbone]

How come we don't have a guild bank in this game??

[JazzyC]

The best form of Guild bank they have comes in the form of Housing.

You can purchase individual houses (one per account) and a Kinship House. Kinship Housing has three chests to store loot, et al.  And also allows you to show off your prowess with decorations and ornaments.

It isn't great, and has always been in need of some care and attention since the release. However, I guess it is such a low priority that nothing has ever been done.

The Kinship House should allow ample storage for mats, rep items and other crafted goods.  However, the fact you have to travel there and then back to where you were (both travel skills being on a 1 hour cooldown) it isn't great for just popping in and out.

[Arawn]

Need to find a cooking and metalsmith to finally clean my vault... lulz

[Revalis]

I just hit expert cooking and farming. And thanks to all the leather you sent, tailoring.

[Keeloth]

I have to admit, i tried to get into this, but I just couldn't.  I've never been the biggest LotR fan to begin with, and the graphics and lack of PvP just kill it for me.

[Maglorius]

I tried to get into LoTRO but it just didn't grab my attention.

What is everyone else honest opinion of the game?

[Ketamininja]

I tried it a while back and couldn't get into it either.
That said, there was no excellent faction present.

After overcoming hte IE8 issues for the LOTRO website, I managed to download the installed, but am getting the installer error now.... I don't think it wants me to play this.
