Whirly: good to go

It’s been a week and a half since our last LotRO outing, I missed playing with the boys. I’ve been soloing quite a bit, it’s not as fun. We started in North Downs. Our first quest of the evening was to scout some camps without being seen. We had no idea how to pull that off. Wandering around the camps didn’t work for us as we were eventually spotted - failing the quest. We killed everybody in the camp as revenge. Morally it was probably wrong. Oh well.

At 23, we tried the quest “The Black Fire.” We killed a lot of mobs looking for one of the fires, but were stopped by two elite 27s we couldn’t get past. We ran into trouble following a group of higher level players when we couldn’t keep up with the elite re-spawn (the mobs popped faster than we could kill them). We were eventually overwhelmed and died. North Downs wasn’t working for us, time to move on.

We returned to Lone Lands and ran “Weavers Beneath the Ruines.” I correctly guessed the locations of the needed spiders who died at our pleasure. It wasn’t all easy though. Our excitement for the evening was when Mark lagged-out at just the wrong place. We had to fight a group of the spiders on his return. Odd that our biggest fun was caused by a network glich.

It wasn’t a very successful evening. LotRO is starting to wear on me. We are fighters not wander-around-ers. We need epic stuff to work on and I’m not feeling that in LotRO. I’ve talked to Mark about returning to WoW and it’s instances, but haven’t worked up the nerve to mention it to Mike. I’m always the one dragging us from game to game. I’m not proud of it. I see the games Pirates of the Burning Sea and Tabula Rasa on the horizon. I’d like to try them both, but most people like to settle into one game and play for a long time.
