Perlino mount

Hello everyone!

I always enjoyed to collect Lotro mounts. My last acquired mount is the Perlino horse. It has been given to me by Falranion after he visited the lotro stand in gamescom in köln. As he won’t be logging to lotro for some time he decided to pass on the code for the horse.

Coincidentally I got the same horse a few days later at the Lotro lotteries 🙂

Here is the pic of the Perlino Mount.

I usually use the World Renown mount because it has greater speed and morale and I tend to prefer white horses.

Which brings me the question: Which is your mount of choice?

A little taste of Rohan

Hello Guys, it’s been a while. I haven’t got the time to log in lately and I won’t be able to do that in the foreseeable future as well, since I have just moved to Cologne, Germany.

Meanwhile, it happens that a big games conference was going to happen here, so I went to see what was going on and guess what I found: a LOTRO booth with a preview of Riders of Rohan!

I’ve got to play the small demo and ride a horse into combat and let me tell you, it is not easy! If you are galloping, you won’t be able to turn fast enough, so you end up circling the enemy, which is frustrating. But it makes sense. So you do not command your horse as when you are just travelling, it is a lot more sluggish, but you get the hang of it quickly, though. Soon, you begin to understand that you have to stop, turn around and charge again towards your enemies.

It wasn’t enough time to sense if the blow dealt was strong (and it wasn’t as Fal that I was playing, so I couldn’t really compare), but enemies died quickly.

Here is a (very blurry) picture of the action:

And another cool stuff that I managed to get are these buttons:

Well, that is it. A little taste, that’s all, but definitely something to look forward to!

See ya!

Daughter of the Golden Wood

This is for my Minstrel friend, Maerilin.

She was a prisoner in the Frozen North with me, and through the long days and nights the sound of her voice drove away the cold of Forochel and kept away my nightmares. We were both given as a pledge to the Lossoth, so the rest of our company would return from their quest in case they were victorious. We all risked everything for one man, guilty of his crimes, but repentant. It was our love and loyalty towards him that finally allowed us all to sail back south, confident that life would be easier from now on.

Of course other hardships came and destroyed what peace we had worked so hard to build. Our captain was killed, his wife went missing, and I left my home in the Shire, determined to find out what had happened to our company. After wandering in the wilderness for months, stopping at every town and village to ask for them, I found Maerilin in Rivendell. She hadn’t gone home to Lórien, so I met her by the stream that flows through the Valley.

Where would the Road lead us next? Were the others of our company searching for us, as we were searching for them?

Tell me if you have seen them.

Any comments on this new expansion pack?

Well I thought and read a few things about it and I have already made my decision. I will pre-order de basic edition. Since we can buy from lotro store almost everything in the other packs with TP, I’ll just get the cheaper one. And since now it has a 1000 TPs included it got my attention.

With those TPs I can buy the extra bag or better yet, the premium wallet!! It will surely empty a lot of slots and I definetly need more space.

I just don’t want to start a whole new toon to get those TPs. I could, but I’m feeling so lazy and with so litle time to play nowadays, I want to have fun with my LM main in the new areas. I’m still completing the Great River zone, so I still have plenty of content to explore with him.

See you all ingame!!

Homeward, or a Hobbit’s search for a place to call home

My Hobbit girl on Landroval, Tilhi, has a long history of wandering around. She had a home once in Enedwaith, south of the Hobbit settlement of Maur Tulhau, but it was burnt to the ground, and after that she has lived on the kindness of others. Her circle of friends consists of many heroic figures but she is not quite sure where she belongs herself…

Everything belongs to me except for the lyrics! (cookies if you know the song 😉 the drawing was made listening to it)

An old sketch of mine

I don’t know if anyone reads these anymore but I just thought I could as well publish this since as far as I know no one has seen it yet. It’s a sketch I made a long time ago and it was never really finished, but instead of losing it in the depths of my hard disk, I’ve decided to share it with you. Please forgive the unfinished feel of it.
