So even though I’m still ‘active’ in EQ2, my sub runs out in about 3 weeks, I haven’t really felt like playing it. Kind of a waste of monthly fees this time around and I think part of it is that as an Inquisitor, combat is just so damn slow and boring.

I know a couple people who just started up new accounts in LOTRO and since they had a copy of Mines of Moria on sale for $9.98 nearby I figured I’d give it a whirl. Even if I only play for the free month it will have only cost me $10 so no big deal. So far it’s pretty fun and the levels go by fast. I’ve only played a few hours and am up to level 10 already. I’ve played around a tiny bit with crafting, it seems to be a little more involved than WoW but less effort than EQ2. Quests so far are the standard “kill some of these” and “bring this to that guy over yonder”.

Player housing is something I’ll get around to checking out later, I expect it’s not something easily affordable for a dwarf with a grand total of 40 silver in his pocket, but eventually it’d be nice to have a little place to call home. A cave with walk in tubs and a forge to hammer out swords on. Oh wait, I chose tailor, guess I need a sewing table and loom instead.
