Everybody loves a ....(Lag) Fest!

Yesterday there was a  big PVP event in Ettenmoors in Lord of the Rings online, it was quite fun until we realised that the leaders had to form a 4th raid to fit everyone in! This means we were about 100 freeps on one side! Who knows how many were on the other side! But at least it was one big lag fest for everyone, not to meantion the rest of the server, which was complaining all evening in the global channels! But besides that I had great fun seeing all the known faces in the raids on both sides fighting each other!

So were you taking part yesterday , or have you ever been to a massive event like this?

Winter adventures

I simply just love the northern lights in Forochel in Lord of the Rings online ! I think it is so amazing to watch, and I can sit there for hours enjoying the enviroment! I have never seen one IRL, but I hope I will at some point!

Have you ever seen Northern Lights IRL?

So sorry!

I know I haven't posted anything for years and for that I apologise! IRL has been way too busy lately, but ofc that's not an excuse!

I will be back as soon as possible with new updates! Meanwhile stay tuned!

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?

Meeting up IRL - Do it !

I have finally returned from an amazing holiday/kin meeting IRL, with my guild from Lord of the Rings online. It was fantastic! Not only was it nice to connect faces to the voices, but also meeting them on a whole new level. I had a fabulous week in Amsterdam and I really feel like I have gotten to know a lot of them in a more personal view aswell. Everyone was so nice and it is funny how well you get along eventhough we are only connected through a MMORPG.

Afraid we didn't get a group picture like these guys!

If anyone out there ever get the chance to go to an IRL guild meeting, do it ! You won't regret it! At least I don't! I am definately in for the next one and I can't wait to see all these lovely people again!

I know there is a lot of IRL guild meetings through different games/MMOs, if you ever got the chance of going to one, would you? Or would you be too shy and scared of the people hiding behind the screens out there?

Unpacking and repacking

I am back from Holiday but only for a few days, and then off again to Amsterdam! To a IRL Kinmeeting, which I am looking very much forward to :)

Sounds like you all are enjoying the summer no matter how and where, and why shouldn't you!

Atm I am unpacking and repacking, while trying to fill up moving boxes at the same time. By the time I get home from Amsterdam I am moving straight away, so therefore this blog will be quiet for the next 2-3 weeks I am afraid :) But hopefully I will be back by then to move on here!

I am so looking forward to this kinmeeting, I am sure it will be lots of fun and on top of that I have never been to Amsterdam :) So I will see you all after I guess!

Before I leave I am curious:
Have you ever been to an IRL kinmeeting before?
