Fantasy books - What's your favourite ?

One of you guys came up with a very interesting question the other day about Fantasy books, and I decided to pick that topic for this post!

Personally I don't read a lot of books these days, mainly because I enjoy other things and have a busy RL too. If I have to read books it is either if I am being forced to or if the book itself suddenly gets very interesting in the first 20-50 pages!
But out of the few fantasy books I have read I can meantion all the Harry Potter books, I am a big fan of those indeed! I did start the Tolkien Lord of the Rings books, (got them all) but after 40+ pages and the fact they still hadn't reached Bilbo's party I fell asleep and I have never opened them again I am afraid! But I do love the movies, the universe and not to meantion the games!

So I am curious now, do you read fantasy books? In which case, whats your favourite ?

The Rifts of Telara

It's been a week since the Beta of Rifts of Telara came out. I wasn't one of the lucky players to get one I am afraid, but I am still really curious about the game! To those not knowing so much about this game I would recommend reading more on their official website - The Rifts of Telara

But in short its a new upcoming MMO, which to me looks a bit like a mix of Aion, AoC and Warhammer. I have heard that some of the game mechanics seems a lot like Warhammer, like these Rifts you go to, they are like control points and PVP areas is that right? I liked that part of Warhammer and might get to like this game too, who knows?

But anyway if you have had the chance to try it out, what did you think of it ?

Reputation Mounts!

Finally they realeased the "November update" for European players in Lotro, and this is the mounts I have managed to get so far!

Life as it should be? Or not ?

A friend sent me this picture once and thought I wanted to share it with you guys! I can definately see a few of these fitting my current state of life!

Maybe you recognise some of the states/moods from the different lifestyles?

Geek and Gamer Girls Song!

Geek and Gamer Girls Song

Yup! It's true and not a joke! Female gamers finally put their foot down in the ground and stepped up for all the female gamers, in their very own version of Katy Perry's "California girls"! Check it out! Personally I think it is very cool! Yay for all the female gamers out there !

Interesting places in Enedwaith

Lately I have been questing a lot in Enedwaith, and therefore I discovered some nice little areas, not to meantion the amazing purple sky they've added! Gotta love the new area! To me it feels like a bit of Annuminas meets the Shire and Eregion all in one zone! Guess they were a bit busy when they made it? No matter what I still enjoy it, but can't wait for the new expansion upcoming though! 

Guardian Powarh!

I was in the Great Barrow instance the other day, and somehow with all these epic buffs and such I reached 11K of morale! Talking about being unbeatable!?

Boo?

With the F2P update we also got the Haunted Barrow, which is sort of a spooky place, compared to its location in the peaceful Shire. The barrow is filled with crazy features, spooky goblins, birds, spiders, etc. not to meantion the Hobbit ghost wandering around! It is a really spooky place indeed!

One of the rewards in the autumn festival is the "BOO", emote, which two crazy hunters wanted to try out in a "BOO" fight! To me it looks rather silly, more like some demonic rain/sun dance to summon the demons! Check it out yourself!

This entire spooky theme/halloween in Middle Earth has never really been my sort of thing, maybe I am just  too scared of too many things, guess that's part of being female in this world or what?

Are you scared of ghosts, spiders, creeps etc. ?

Reliving Helegrod!

With the update we finally got the chance of reliving all the old instances and a few raids and I am loving it already! Helegrod was always so much 24-manning, though they changed 3/4 of it into a 12 man instance, its still a lot of fun!

Helegrod has always been one of my fav. raids, because it is so big, and different from all the newer raids they have added to LOTRO, on top of that I always liked the snowy scenery and surroundings!

What's your favourite Instance in any game? and why?

Adventures of Enedwaith!

I have been exploring only just half of Enedwaith and I am loving it already! As some people said it reminds them of Age of Conan, and I can agree at some points, but I still think Lotro makes its own perfect version that fits into Middle Earth just perfectly! The green fields and the amazing sky they've added makes it a perfect place for me to stay for the next few months until the next patch!

I still remember the amazing scenery from Age of Conan, my personal favourite place was Field of the Dead, where not only the music was amazing, but they had some pretty amazing views such as this:

What's your favourite area in an MMO, you've played?

Free to Play!

After many hours of waiting for free to play, and the furious waiting of being on the server, Laurelin, which was opened as the last one, we finally got Free To Play in Europe last night! Finally new content and stuff to do! So many people online, I think the server just exploded once again and I am loving it! So many old faces are back in game, wanting to do stuff together again, like in the old days of Shadows of Angmar!

This is the new place in Middle Earth to go to, and I can't wait to discover it! There are so many small new changes, and so much new stuff to do, buy and get! Personally I don't even know where to begin!

So what's your favourite update with Free to Play in lotro?
