I, for one, am glad that WoW doesn't have contraceptives, because you know you'd pick used ones up off bandits. Bleagh... You know what else could be interesting design--for any quest that involves gathering items, assume, for instance, that William Pestle has the Crystal Kelp he needs for...

Hooray for Lulzy! :.D What a wonderful turn of events, and may I add that she looks fantastic. I'm sure Stridagorn will be stricken at first beholding.

So, you mentioned escorts and speeds, which makes the question inevitable--have you met Sara Oakheart? Do you hate Sara Oakheart? The hatred of Sara Oakheart (besides being a good name for an alt-rock album) is a good trait to develop early...

You know, I detest the mail and pie quests (being someone with a hot temper, easily frustrated, clearly not the type who should role-play a hobbit), and I'd hoped never to do them again. However, I've just gotten my mom playing, and we're hobbits, and I think I'm going to enjoy taking it easy...

Also, for anyone not familiar with LotRO, there is an in-game option to turn shoes invisible on any character along with the standard helm and cloak invisibility option, which some people (myself included) do for their hobbits. And some people do it for everybody. That's a little detail that I...

Woo hoo! I've been looking forward to this--LotRO is really my "main" MMO, even though I've been playing my "alt" (WoW) much more lately. And I hear you on the name thing, although I know I'm part of just the problem you're talking about. My hobbit (a female and a minstrel) is named "Fuchsia"...

Like always, it seems that the arguments quickly lose focus because, in fact, there's very little to argue about. How does one person's use of cheats affect another person's non-use? Why are some people arguing, in essence, that designers should challenge players against the players's wills...

Our problem started maybe a year ago, possibly longer. My boyfriend has Time Warner as his isp, and our network went down. Now, we're both relatively techy, so we made sure we cycled everything, checked all the cables, checked all settings we could imagine to try to have some idea of what to...

I approve of taxes on things that affect other people such as cigarettes and alcohol as long as the tax is applied to correct the problems caused by those things--cigarette taxes going to cancer research and supplementing insurance costs (kind of like a "you're-going-to-have-emphysema-one-day...

see: 9 dragons. my first quest after the introduction to game play section was to kill foxes in the town. however, although you can use weapons, at the beginning you only have your fists, for which you have learned only one attack. that's why my friends and i refer to it as "the fox punching...
