Awesome @Koro! I already had a lvl 20 captain so I'm debating on bringing her along for the ride, although I have a lvl 1 burglar I made awhile back that I could always level up as well! I look forward to playing with ya'll!

Checking in to see how everyone is doing! I hope things are going well! @Ellenore and I have finally decided on our characters for the group and have begun! I started in Archet (man) and she in Celondim (high elf), but tonight we finally linked up and started working together. I joined her in Ered Luin, and we will probably be questing there and then on to the Bree-lands! I wanted to roll a dwarf (they are the best, after all), but my only dwarves available are hunter, RK, and champion, all dps classes. I figured I'd play a warden for its versatility, so man it is. Though I'll probably level other toons up so I can switch off as we need. We left off tonight at level 11, so making some progress! How is it with you all? @Koro @Tyrtaeus @RhemaTom @Jae Onasi @Telana @Chelly @Lagerfueled @Vorn @Elisel @Daizey @Ellenore @Martini @CheekyMonkey66 @Kateywumpus @Malerok @Amrithir @Dalivandrian

Hey! I'm still monitoring the group and I have a plethora of alts at various levels from 11 to 110 (mainly minstrel, hunter, champion). So busy with things, but if I can ever join in, and have an appropriate class and level, I will. Enjoy the journey. It's amazing in Middle Earth.

I hit a roadblock. Well, not a roadblock as much as a mood block. I got semi-depressed and when I get that way, it is all I can do to log onto SWG to do some of my daily things... which only take about 10 minutes. Forget playing LotR. My days have basically been siting, going to bed, and eating when my stomach starts really growling. However, I think it is safe to say that I will likely be your sideline cheerleader anyway. By 1:30 PM CST, I am pretty much done for the day. Most people aren't even getting online yet. I was going to try to push past my normal playtime, but I tried doing that yesterday when I got cheered up a bit. My guild was doing something in SWG and wanted me to go with them. I did... and regretted it from the word "go." I could hit anything, couldn't reach out and grab things fast enough, and was generally like the slow child that has the grownups standing around saying, "It's that. No, this one. THIS ONE! God! How do you.... THIS ONE!!!! That's right. Man!" Everyone in my guild over in SWG is good at treating everyone well as they are here in RoH. It is just my issue, but it hasn't gotten one centimeter better in 9 years. It is so frustrating for me. I know what to do, but my putting that into practice... Like I said... frustrating! If I manage to log in this week, I will update you as I go. For now though, both my toons are still level 7.

Lore-master is fun indeed! Mine is still low level, but I can't wait to level up and get legendary items, as well as dual wield sword and staff! And @Ellenore and @Daizey each will have a captain so don't feel bad! You made the right choice to play what you enjoy! I think you might be right, it would be very helpful to have our roster of those actively participating in the fellowship so we can keep track of one another and have a visual of what our group consists of. I will start placing that on each months' thread as we get rolling. For the kinship panel player notes, you can find that by looking at the kinship window. You'll see (from left to right), class, level, character name, rank, online/offline, and then something like location. Next to the location buttom (the far right column), you should see an icon that looks like a 'play' icon (at least to me). Click on that and it toggles that last column of information. You can toggle it between character location, kinship join date, or player note. I'm no Tolkien linguist, but I'd say your name is pretty awesome! I probably would have assumed rah-SHEEL-den, but either way it is a good sounding name. Very Tolkienish.

I've been participating in the anniversary events over the last week or so and that has been fun. I've definitely settled on my loremaster as the character that I'll be playing. I tried captain as well since I thought it might be good for group play but I just really enjoy the loremaster more. Shall we put together a list of the character names for the group so that we can friend each other or have another way to connect in game? I know there is supposed to be a way to see the character note with our forum names that we are asked to set but I haven't figured out how to see those for other people. My character's name is Rashildhon which I believe is pronounced: rah-SHEEL-then. If we have any resident Tolkien linguistic experts you can let me know if I managed to get that right! I came up with that one before I thought I would be grouping with him much.

There is a gambit helper add-on which really helps with that so you don’t have to remember every single gambit.

Oh, and by the way @Amrithir, I already died! Got caught by too many mobs in the Chetwood at level 8, and I'm still getting the hang of the warden gambit system. Didn't heal up enough. I thought about re-rolling, but figured nah, I could live without the title. But I hope others have better luck than I had!

I am so excited to get started! ...But, does anyone have any information on the differences between the races (Dwarves, Elves, Men, Hobbits)?

I have a lot of free time myself since I'm out on disability for the foreseeable future. Sunday, Friday and Monday nights are bad for me since I've got groups I get together with IRL. Other than that the sky's wide open.

As I stated on the other page, I will begin playing my archer. I played my guardian at first not really paying much attention to what I was playing. I was just having fun! Being on of the "top tier tanks," it scares the dickens out of me! DPS all the way!!! I can't handle tanking anymore.
