Where are you from?

Love this picture! Yet I don't think Scandinavia suits Rohan?

Anyway, got curious and was wondering; where are you all from IRL and Middle Earth -wise?

When the fun part has a disadvantage!

Lately I have been wondering where one of my friends had gone in game (Lotro), and I found out the other day, when he sent me a tell in game, saying he was playing PVP on another server now, since he had enough of all the talking behind his back and bullying. I was totally shocked, and felt sad that we couldn't play together like we normally would once in a while, therefore I made a character on another server now to stay in contact.

It really makes me worried, when stuff like this happens, and it only happened for one reason, that he was the first guy on our server to reach the max rank in PVP, therefore people were nagging and laughing at him. Simply because they were jealous! It is completely ridiculous, cause he is such a nice guy when you get to know him. I guess it is their own loss! At least I enjoy his company.

So my question is, where did all the fun go? Isn't it a game, that's supposed to be fun for everyone? Why is it then situations like this happen?
