Playing a Ranger myself in release...had played a gladiator and ranger in CB/OB and enjoyed both, but hearing all the good feedback for rangers post level 19 made me want to stick it out.  I'm up to level 15 now and enjoying him, although he is difficult to solo all the time due to his general squishy-ness.

Going to look into this weapon enhancing thing when I get home tonight.  Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, D&L should've been #1 though...HUGELY disappointing MMO.

That's some good advice by Theocritus.  Stick with no more than two classes.  Me, I've gone Hunter with my main, and Warden with my alt.  I'm still learning the finer points of tanking with the Warden.

As far as some advice, LOTRO is chock full of great solo content.  I've solo'ed my Warden up to 26 without doing any fellowship quests.  For a newbie, I would suggest rolling your character and doing the beginner instance and go from there.  It's a lot of fun!

See you in Eriador!

Great review...although to be clear, Hunters are able to equip up to two legendary items and a class slot item, usually a book or tome of some kind which reduces the power cost of skills or helps mitigate damage to an enemy.  The class slot items for Hunters are not currently "legendary" items.

Good read. I just dinged 60 last night, and still have a ton of Moria quests to do: no shortage of things to do there!

Congrats on dinging 60!  :)

Very nice, how much?

Well done, Turbine!  And well deserved.

I currently have one free buddy key for anyone that wants it.  Please post here with a valid email address or send me a PM with a valid email address...not an MMORPG.com email address.

I wrote a review for MMORPG.com on my first impressions of MoM.  Check it out here.

Got one key left!  First come, first serve!

I've got two free keys right now for those who want them.

You know, I guess I could definitely be wrong...I remember back in Beta, I thought the community designated Elendilmir as the RP server.  If it's Landroval now, I might need to roll a toon there.  :)

In so far as an "official" RP server, no...there isn't one.  I think you can find roleplay factions on many of the servers, but the unofficial RP server is the one I'm on, Elendilmir.  There are several RP kinships on there, including the one I belong to, the Gray Council of Arnor.

Hope this helps.

I'm fresh out of buddy keys, but as far as purchasing the game...I think the MoM download comes with Shadows of Angmar, which was Volume I...so I think you're good there.

Sorry, the email with "cronin" in it...the system says you already received a buddy key to that email address.  You're limited to one per email address.

One left!

I have three more buddy keys to give away!  First come, first serve!

Put your email in a reply and I'll forward one to you post-haste!

I'm looking for a buddy key if anyone would be so kind to pass one along. Somehow of all the mmorpgs I've played I missed this one and would love to give it a go.

My email is corrupt0rx@yahoo.com     <---llast 0 is a zero.

Thanks to the fine people of Middle Earth :)
