While I don't foresee returning to this blog in the future, as I'm even more unhappy with LOTRO (or maybe it is more fair to say unhappy with certain behaviors and decisions of Turbine), I appreciate the feedback. I do still plan to return to check out Helm's Deep, although am waiting to see whether it will bring me back to play regularly and have me continue VIP status or not. In the meantime I have been having fun playing Rift lol! My best to everyone, whether in LOTRO or out.McFarlanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608573995128752916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023923485108098592.post-68872088753698342892013-08-06T14:43:47.964-05:002013-08-06T14:43:47.964-05:00Finally I found your blog again! I'm sorry, ne...Finally I found your blog again! I'm sorry, never posted anything and only came because this postage (I was organizing my favorite and looking one by one). You made me learn a lot and love everything you wrote, McFarlane. But well... what I meant was: You're right, totally right. By 2011, I can tell you that I had in mind only MMORPG Lotro as unique in my life. But... 2012 came and I had many disappointments. So to help beginners I saw the enormous difficulty faced by everyone and could not help efficiently. I bought the biggest package Rohan, I saw they had nice things... but what I was given seemed something more illustrated than motivating. Since December I hardly have played Lotro and I get very little. Many of my friends have already left. To visiting and move through the online world and see the Middle-Earth, to see the environment, listen to music, it is still fascinating, but the rest... not.<br />Well... that's it, thanks for everything McFarlane. I say again that I understand the sentiment, I could barely write whatever I wanted, however, is never easy to explain everything.<br /><br />Take care and enjoy wherever you are!<br /><br />PS: Sorry th epoor english ;p.<br /><br />Shinmakoto (Dwarrowdelf).Mauricio (Shin)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023923485108098592.post-9143946242749323262013-05-21T20:55:53.061-05:002013-05-21T20:55:53.061-05:00Thank you!

I completely share your opinions on the state of the game. When I saw Hobbit Presents for the first time, my stomach twisted a bit.

I have learned MUCH about Middle Earth from reading your blog. Heck, I've even visited the site everyday just hoping for a new post. Your knowledge and writing style are top notch in my opinion.<br /><br />Here's hoping for everyone's sake, that Turbine comes around and gets things back on track. The Middle Earth they've created is just too good to have it spoiled like they have been.<br /><br />Peace,<br />Evarden (Darrowdelf)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023923485108098592.post-43265480460453818272013-05-16T15:12:33.673-05:002013-05-16T15:12:33.673-05:00Come play Guild Wars 2, plenty of lore to get your...Come play Guild Wars 2, plenty of lore to get your teeth into there ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023923485108098592.post-63169304608051833552013-05-16T08:24:14.696-05:002013-05-16T08:24:14.696-05:00Aww.

I was just thinking about you last night, as I ventured into Wildemore and saw an unusual tapestry hanging in our of the houses I entered. I thought, "only the designer and McFarlane would know what that signifies". <br /><br />You are a treasure to lotro universe and will definitely be missed so here's hoping your fire will be rekindled after a break and you will be like a phoenix reborn.

I feel a loyalty to LOTRO as well (or is it "mmo guilt") and will not quit but I only log in a few times a week to play with my wife. Otherwise I might not be logging in at all.<br /><br />At least they are still putting out quality content.<br /><br />Good luck to you and I hope to see more posts soon(ish)!shorelesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11154767179231223029noreply@blogger.com
