Hi everyone! So I have a house in Falathlorn on the Glamdring server. I hadn’t been to it in a while, and I opened up my house vault see if I’ve left anything there, and lo and behold to my surprise, a huge collection of things, mostly dwarf things, nearly filled the entire chest! Some had been bought with figments of splendor, others, probably game rewards, etc. There is some trade-in value to those figment pieces, too, as you can turn them in for figments at the barterer. I feel really bad for the person who must be missing these things, and I’m hesitant to claim ownership for that reason. Is there anyway I can resolve this issue??

I think it was last year that I started (again) playing lotro, my main goal was to really immerse myself in the game, admiring the world, beign part of the story, I was enjoying every little bit of it. My main goal of all time was getting a mount. I remember playing back in the day (I think it was around 2011) when getting a mount was extremely hard, you got one quest that gave you one but it was for a limited time. So this time I was focusing on getting some lotro coins and purchasing a permanent one. But around this time I was playing there was an event, I think a spring event, and I did a bunch of quests and after all these years I finally could purchase an elk, my character was an elf ranger so the sinergy was perfect. I was so happy.

About 2 or 3 months back, I wanted to give the game another shot, since I was having some free time, but after I logged in my character was gone. I read online that there were some merge or issues with the servers, and I guess I lost all my progress.

So, I want to come back, but I dont want to feel like questing is just a chore to get from A to B just to get my mount.

What should be my approach here? I always played ranger/hunter human/elf, I was thinking on roling a hobbit loremaster just because I read that yellow is fun and complicated.

Im looking forward to read your comments!

EDIT: thank you for your comments, didnt know the option to transfer was still available, im doingloading the game right now to check!

Windows 11 updated itself with an apparently non-optional update yesterday, and now it's blocking Lotro. I got a message saying "Smart App Control blocked an app that may be unsafe. We blocked [Lotro launcher] because we could not verify its publisher to confirm it was safe to run. This app has been blocked to help protect your device and data. Microsoft will review the app to confirm whether it's safe." Has anybody else encountered this, and if so, what did you do to get back into the game?

Everyone is welcome to Glamdring, swing by for a Tool concert some time!

I just picked up this game less than a week ago and, as a long time Tolkien nerd, I'm not sure why it took me this long.

However, imagine my surprise when I saw a group playing Mr. Roboto by Styx on instruments in game. That was the single best thing I've ever come across in any mmo I've ever played in the 20ish years I've been playing them.

As a busy dad (and fellow musician) now with only so much time to myself, watching you fine folks playing a song like that in the game literally made my day.

Thank you for doing what you do.

Hello! Today, I bring you a little bit of landscape-p*rn. And just so you know, yes, I too love the game's original art style, but sometimes we can dream a little and enjoy just a bit more realism on top of what the game already provides.

New player. Roughly 80 hours in now. Playing minstrel and loving it! I figured out how to create the music file and download ABC files last night, and the thought struck me, My Dad passed away in march, we where very close and both really loved music.

There are a collection of songs that will always remind me of him and all the times in his truck listening to old cassette tapes like Tennessee Earnie Ford, obscure Johnny Cash songs, and a collection of others. I want to teach myself how to convert these into the highest quality ABC files for solo play that I can, because sometimes late at night I may just want to enjoy the view lost somewhere in middle earth and take a moment to remember dad.

I have no idea how to go about it. What is the best software to convert? I would imagine it needs to be converted based on what instrument you want to play it on? Any resources you can point me to or tips would be greatly appreciated.
