I would be available during Sunday afternoon/evening/even night my time (now, it is about half past midnight for me) - if we agree upon something, and I could possibly even be able to make myself available during US-time evening, if it is convenient for people. Then I assume for us on European time (meaning probably me and Eönwë) the earlier is better, so maybe if we could agree on something US-afternoon-ish when we could be there in larger numbers (I think this would depend on Eönwë's preferences, since for me, like I said, the hour does not matter that much on this particular day).
Haven't yet visited the game since the festivities started, but I assume it could be nice to do some random festival-activities and then we could even spend some time drinking and running all over the place, visiting different sites (especially if the festival takes place in different sites simultaneously, as it often does?) - possibly we could even connect this to making a tour of some peoples' houses? (I still haven't done my house-warming party. Not that there is anything great to see in that tiny place. ![]()

Is anyone joining the Ale Association instead of the Inn League? Or going for a bit of both?

I am totally Inn League, since I already started it. Unless I wanted Gimifril to join the Ale Association. Which I could, in fact, since he's a Dwarf, and just for the sake of variety.

Only a week left until our mighty kinship qualifies for a kinhouse! With the Christmas season not a lot of us have time for the game now, but we can get it set up soon and then we can have a housewarming party and then dance the night away with Tom Bombadil.
I visited the Shire Homesteads and love them. 2 Chalk Road is the closest to the entrance and the main neighborhood center, 4 Brookbank Street is a bit further but you can see a waterfall. I think I want to move to 1 Wending Way myself, so nice. The nearness to Michel Delving is very convenient as all the training and crafting and etc. are in one small area instead of scattered around. I've been thinking of a second name for my lvl23 elven champion, Maelusalph. "Lustful Soup" enjoys prospecting, woodcrafting and weaponsmithing, and dislikes trying to get bloodstains out of his favorite dress. He's in a different kin but I may move him later. Tariancthîr - Obstinate Face Hwiniolthir - Fantastic Face Deluthir - Deadly Face Delulebed - Deadly Finger Raunthir - Deviant Face Deluraunthir - Deadly Deviant Face Deluglamthir - Deadly Yelling Face Glamdeluraunthir - Yelling Deviant Deadly Face Delueirien - Deadly Daisy Rhosseirien - Rustling Daisy Glamthir - Yelling Face Glamraun - Yelling Deviant Alaglebed - Quick Finger Adlanthîwnif - Oblique Sticky Face Thirmaethor - Face Warrior Ben-Raun - According to the Deviant Ben-Rauncerthas - According to the Deviant Alphabet Puiathir - Spit (on) Face Gonodeirien - Counting Daisies Gorothnif - Horror Face Pendrath-na-Menel - Stairway to Heaven Any scholars of Sindarin will be shuddering in horror I'm sure, I just picked amusing words out of the dictionary at councilofelrond.com. I'm probably going to go for Deluthir, although Delueirien has personal, hilarious significance. Perhaps I'll use that one for Bruiwen. Anyway, rambling.

Wow, really? The kinship house really took time to get... I think back then a loong time ago, we've been talking about the house just on the left side of the entrance, I think the waterfall was visible from there, I am not sure anymore where exactly it was.
I think Pendrath-na-Menel is still the best thing in Sindarin I've seen for some time, though ![]()

Have I mentioned that I have tons and tons of furniture taking up vault space that I would be more than happy to donate to the kinhouse..?
![]() Also, the Yule Festival starts today! In fact, they are installing it right now. [EDIT] Except they apparently actually weren't...either that or I don't know where the festival is...

Yule festival, I was afraid I had missed it. My fondest memories in online gaming are there.
I don't know anyone's names on silverlode, but mine is Versarrasine and I could use a friend or two. ![]()

I didn't say it is disturbing, or in any case, I don't find it disturbing per se - it has many very beautiful places (or most of them, actually) - but the main problem with me is that I am strongly against any attempts to visualise Middle-Earth in the first place in any other way than in paintings. LOTRO is fine, but it just "breaks the spell": it isn't really Middle-Earth however hard I try. Once again, that isn't bad. I think the game is great and I think they could have hardly done better than that. The "breaking the spell" effect is inherent to it: it is something that has to be there, it comes naturally. It is just that there is the threshold you can never cross. PJ didn't, those folks don't either.

Yay!
Okay. So 4 Brookbank street has the best view and has my vote. It's the next lowest price at 15 gold with weekly upkeep of 300 silver. I have two gold currently, so I suppose I'm taking the collection for the initial purchase.

I was looking at Moredowns. They're all the same, but I was trying to look for one with "downs" in the title.

We need to do the Inn League pub-crawl thing as a kinship.
The question is not if, but when.

Allllllrighty then. We're at 13 towards our 15 gold house fund. You can contact Reprimand if you have money for it. I can foot the extra two if absolutely necessary, but I also want to have money enough for the cute single house in that same neighborhood. Cos it's cute.
Then we can get boozed up and wake up in strange places without our pants.

Having been playing Warcraft almost exclusively for four years, my raiding guild has finally dissolved. I'm having trouble finding new people because of the changes to the game over the last year and a half; and am currently looking at other MMORPGs.
I recently got the LOTRO demo and played Star Wars: The Old Republic beta, but admittedly only dabbled. Now I come here and see there's a group of you all playing. What's the game like once you leveled up? What is there to do? Any of you have Warcraft experience to compare LOTRO to?

Cut them against each other and I'd have to say Warcraft is better.
The endgame is basically levelling up alts, raiding or endless PvP.

The Shades of Tyrn Gorthad may now be contacted at 4 Brookbank Street, Moredowns, The Shire.
Kuruharan is in a decorating frenzy. I suggest you pop on by and see what we've done to the place! ![]()

I have been in one for some time already (the jewellers). It definitely is worth it. I don't know what your guild offers, but given how much you have dedicated to crafting, I think you should do it.

Aww, is anyone in Imladris? I left my Level 7 character on Silverlode because my brother and cousins play on Imladris, but I'm the only one active in Lotro now

Eonwe, I now own 1 Wending Way. I really should have packed up furniture before abandoning my old house, I think I lost a bunch of things. Although it's possible they were bound to other characters.
Lindale, just Silverlode. but if you want to restart your character there we have other lower levels, so you wouldn't be stranded or anything. Gwath, I don't mind if you mail me some golds. ![]() (edit) Yep, everything is bound to characters. I'm putting birds EVERYWHERE, maaaaan

I tried to send gold, but you can't unless you've paid for something in-game, i.e. bought some Turbine Points or membership for any length of time. Or something like that.

It's some goooooooood stuff, maaaaaaaan. Gabiluzbad and Derndwimmer dressed up in orcish gear and high-fived each other's faces before obscuring the entire house in smoke.
All that needs to be done is to obtain some "golf fire"(heh) and then.....then it's proper foreteen twenty all up in hyah.
