Lord of the Rings Online

I bought LOTRO in May and played it for ..... hmmm .... about 4 or 5 months total on and off.

After a while, I got a bit bored of it and quit... I had nothing else to do so I kicked up my WoW subscription after a long time, enjoyed for a few days and got bored to death for the very reason I quit WoW in the first place.

Ok so now, whenever I see my LOTRO game box I just feel so tempted to play it, and every time I look at some videos or screen shots I keep coming closer and closer to being a player once again.

Eeek, I think im having withdrawal symptoms!

I never got past level 20, and am a really big fan of PvP. I really liked the PvMP idea and always thought it was cool and enjoyed it.

One of the reasons I quit was that I could almost never get a group, and level from over 20 just got boring (Just one bloody zone... or thats what I thought atleast)

But now im thinking of coming back, with so many small additions and an upcoming expansion, im so hyped about LOTRO again.

Any advice?

P.S. I was on Landroval

I feel exactly the same. I played beta, bought the game... played for a few months then quit. Everytime I look at this game box or read a story about it, I'm pulled towards it. It's IMO the most incredibly crafted MMO out there... I just don't know anyone, almost the same problem you're having..

Transfer your char, or start over on Elendilmir.  This is the international-oceanic server so there are always ppl online here at all hrs.  I'm also here and would be willing to help you when I'm online and not entirely busy!

Yeah, the main reason I even considered resubbing to WoW was because I know like 50% of my side very well and about 10% of the horde side etc...

Whats fun is being in a guild that does a lot of events and what not, I actually formed a guild and we did like 4 events, but not being independent and having my mom interrupt me etc .... it got hard to manage the kinship.

BUT when we DID have events etc, it was one hell of a good time... the Kinship disbanded after like 3 weeks though because me and my second in command were both busy with school and not active so people just left...

Also, what server were you in? I hear Elendilmir and Brandywine are well populated servers... I myself am in Landroval, which is pretty populated but last time I checked it was a bit deserted at times.

Is it possible to transfer? If so what does it cost?

Anywho, thanks for the advice... I might resubscribe and either Re-Roll or Transfer to Elendilmir or Brandywine...

And ill keep that in mind thanks

Brandywine is populated but mostly by guilds and high levels. I hit 22 today but have yet to meet anyone really, only grouped with high levels that were bored. I'm tired of WoW myself and would probably go more hardcore into LoTRO if I knew people who played. I think thats what the game comes down to.

Hmm yeah, I remember during my second month LOTRO was one hell of a fun time, I had a fun kinship with around 10 active players...

But when it disbanded and those guys either quit or rerolled or w/e... it kinda got boring.

dethgar and WootNation, u really should give Elendilmir a go then.  It doesn't matter when I'm on there are always tons of ppl running around, throughout all lvl ranges.  Being lvl 50 and well I don't like PvP or raids, that leaves me with doing deeds, I've been helping lowbies run through books and elite quests for something to do when I need a break from those.

Come on over, my char name is Janika ~ 50 Minstrel and I have all books complete so I can help with any part of the storyline quests to a point...eventually I need more lvl 50s, but I try!

Oh yeah transfering is like $25 I think, but since ur still pretty low level, its be so much easier to just start over!

Hmm you have convinced me...

Gonna wait till tomorrow or day after and call up my brother when hes free and tell him to subscribe for me :P

One question though....

Are there A LOT of Kinships there? Because I was thinking of forming my own... recruiting all the low levels etc, you think it would work? Are there a lot of Kin-less people?

And other than that, thanks for your advice etc :)

Brandywine is very very populated, too.
