Arbitrary's Page

So I've been a bit absent and changed my userID to arbitrary to fit in with elsewhere around the net. I've been monster playing in LotRO and now trying to get my weaver up to rank 6 for hatchlings.. have also been helping with some kin Rift raids, but honestly.. book 13 hasn't really held my attention. Sure some friends have gone to play Conan, but even then Forochel is kind of dull once you get down to it. And doing it with an alt.. not appealing. I hope Book 14 is better. Am excited about the… Continue

I find myself waiting more and more for the WAR open beta (yes, I know it's for pre-order people and I am one of them). Have started up a little blog with my sister that focuses mostly on Order and on European WAR. But it's mostly made me start reading a lot more about the setting and the game, and now I'm even more interested in it. My friends are split now between AoC and LotRO, and I'm still playing the latter and likely to for a good long while. But - WAR is coming :-) (I've also started… Continue

[let's try again, with a more LotRO-focused post] My weaver just hit the heady heights of Rank 5, and the day before she got to Elite status, with all passive skills acquired.

It's a weird mechanic of the monster play area that in order to progress you need infamy (from kil… Continue

I'm back in Monster Play this week and loving it, even on quiet nights where I can't get a spot in a raid. Life is definitely worse for weavers since Book 13, but what can I do? I love the class more than the others. I did make a Warleader, but I haven't taken him out of Gramsfoot - who wants to play a boy anyway ;p So out I went and had a ton of fun. I even went to the Delving with some of my kin and we had a tootle around there, getting stones that I'll apparently need when I get to Rank 5 -… Continue

I signed up for the Passively Multiplayer Online Game (http://pmog.com/) and it's been fun so far. You just add a Firefox extension and carry on web browsing as normal - except now the web is your playground. You can leave presents, mines, add portals and do other stuff all while normally browsing. It's fun so far, and my id there is arbitrary if you want to friend me :-)
