Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
[LOTRO] I got your "mounted combat" RIGHT HERE. Riders of Rohan out now.

They should be in Enedwaith. The Grey company camp at those ruins in the middle of the region.
Enjoy RIFT. Ya prick.
What was also nice was being able to get rid of a bunch of item XP tomes that had been clogging my inventory, especially one that I'd been carrying around since I deconned a max or near max-leveled lvl 60 halberd after getting a good lvl 65. Adding the 900,000 or so ixp to a level 53 sword brought that one to about level 63; deconned it and walked away with a nice big pile of relics, and an ixp rune that I applied to my lvl 65 (thanks to the new rules) for roughly 15 levels of item xp. Not a bad night, even after recalibrating my army of alts!
If it makes you feel better, I'd be willing to bet that it was Rift pushing my system a bit too much that caused my computer to die in the first place (lotro was giving it issues towards the end as well). Doesn't change the fact that it was a fun game or that I'm sad that I'm missing out on everything right now because of it.
You should come back; one of the new instances has a boss fight where you literally have to slap hobbits.
Also the spring festival starts today.
Motherfuckers.
Yes they did. Volume 2 is Soloable.
Fuck Yes!
I completed 2.5.5 last night all by myself.
Well my Skirmish Soldier was there too, I suppose.
Just 2.5.5, as it now *is* a skirmish. Or...a series of skirmishes.
Firing up Crysis 2 now. Probably log into LOTRO later this evening.
let me know if it's any good, was kind of let down by Crysis 1.
It looks incredible, but it's got all the same bugs and issues the first one had and more. I was worried that all the flickering would give me a seizure
So...I guess it'll be an awesome game a few patches from now? *shrug*
I think I've got a level 30 or so Burglar on Landroval, so if I come back, I'll definitely join the PA guild! That is, if you'll have me.
Also, VC, we'd be happy to add a new face to TBS. Just drop us a line in-game by joining the PA chat channel (type "/joinchannel PennyArcade wang" without quotes.)
Ahhh. That explains all the trouble I was having with it the other night.
It's not fun to run around there wondering how to make things go while nothing is happening.
Edit: I'm almost done with 2.6 and that will get me LoM capstone. After that I plan to Farm for the Cloak of Shadow and Flame.
I also ended up making a decent LI from all the over level 30 weapons I had to Decon for the scrolls.
Update 2 has been nice to me.
Was out in the moors the last two nights with a friend of mine, and we had a small burg death squad going. Ridiculous. Running full speed in stealth and spamming Feint Attack + Surprise Strike every 15s is AWESOME. Huge DPS and creeps are in despair. I love it.
Edit: Safe Fall? Holy crap-- nothing more satisfying than assassinating a creep on stab, popping Safe Fall, and jumping to safety.
On top of running GS I also picked up the Cloak of Shadow and Flame, got My LoM Capstone and found I had enough moria tokens to get the 3 Piece Mora set of armor which will hold me over until I can farm out the Superior third marks to finish off my Hele set.
Most fun I've had in awhile.
Edit: Meh. Taking the night off, I think.
In-laws dropped in.

T1 is a great way to learn the instance. Especially the 2nd boss requires practise, because that's where you gotta score HM in T2.

Honestly, skirmishing frequently is pretty much it as far as powerlevelling goes. There's no trick or special method that I'm aware of that will get you to cap faster. At the upper levels (ie. 45+) you'll need to do both skirmishes and equal level or greater quests to average about a level per day, maybe 2 levels per day if you're particularly zealous about it. Mind you, with the recent changes to quests in Moria and Evendim that might have changed a bit since they altered the level ranges on certain quests.
Wow, what zone is that?
