SoM for the mid-level player: combat changes, a global nerf?

If you were online yesterday, you probably heard about Siege or Mirkwood hitting LotRO’s NA servers. Actually, if you’re reading this blog, you probably knew about it a long time ago, but that’s beside the point. By most reports, the launch of this semi-expansion (semi because, well, it’s DLC) went fairly well. I was knee …

Good or bad, I’m the man in the chaps

Yes, that’s right. I celebrated my triumphant return to Fallen Earth like every good cowboy. I rooted around in some discarded trash until I found myself a pair of authentic (and only slightly soiled) chaps. Look at that folks. I like to think of it as “framing.” I spent a good two hours in the …

The last refuges of elitism

As people, I think we’re prone to judgment of one another. I mean, think about it, we judge people all the time. In the supermarket, at school, at work, we’re prone to appraising our fellow man. It’s not always in the snouty, look down your nose, kind of way. If for nothing else, we do …

Wetting my feet in raiding

This past week has been an eventful one for me. I’ve been working to get back into WoW and I think I’ve found my groove again. I have my rotations down and my keybinds rememorized and, not least of all, I have my UI in working order and fully functional again. One of the best …
