Are you a subscriber to LOTRO who’s looking to downgrade to Premium once Free to Play launches? There are a few things you should know about to make sure you get the maximum benefits possible after your switch.
These perks can also apply to people who purchased a product key that included 30 days free time making them a VIP account for the month. Many but not all product keys includes VIP play time and can be used to upgrade existing accounts (so not just for new players). [faq P4]
Downgrading your account to VIP is pretty simple. Stop paying your monthly subscription. At the end of your subscription billing cycle, your account will automatically downgrade from VIP to premium.
Today we take a look at several of the LUA plugins that have been written by Beta Players during the Free-to-Play testing period. The two that we have featured in this episode are:
Plugin Manager which, once loaded will load and unload installed plugins through an interface instead of requiring you to use chat commands.
Hunter Travel Window which creates a separate window for all of your travel abilities (which despite the name works for all classes) freeing up your bar space and general UI clutter.
Lord of the Rings Online is a very rich, detailed world. The developers put a lot of effort into capturing the essence of real life in the game, so naturally you want to take screenshots and share the beauty with others! Here is the first in a series of posts with some beginner tips and tricks to help you get the screenshot you want.
Taking the Screenshot
Right off the bat before we go into anything else the first thing you need to know is how to take a screenshot. That’s easy!
Welcome to Pineleaf’s Pictorial Primer to Skirmishing. In this series, we will look at each of the skirmishes you can run in The Lord of the Rings Online™. In this first volume, we will take a look at the skirmish that is set right in my own backyard: “Trouble in Tuckborough.”
In this series, we will look at each skirmish in turn, including its scenario, layout, mobs, bosses, and encounters. While I discuss the lieutenants you will be facing, I will leave a detailed analysis of them to a later volume.
Original My LotRO Configuration
I have finally reached the point where my lottery winners have become too much for My LotRO to handle. Granted, it took me a lot longer to get so many winning entries than some people who are lottery hogs, but I got there nonetheless. Eventually, you probably will, too.
Once you get lots of entries, your winning entries window on My LotRO gets all scrambled and its hard to tell which ones are recent, or if there even are any new ones. They start to get sorted...
A set of fair and well-enforced rules help build a structure for your raid that helps keep people on the same page and will do well in earning you the respect you need to do your job effectively.
This is the second part in the series on leading a raid. See Part 1 on Communication if you missed it.
The “Alternative Methods” guide set is aimed at presenting different ways to fill the basic roles/needs in any group or instance without use of either the normal class/roll or method. My goals with these set of suggestive guides are to break people of the “You have to have classes A, B, C, D and 2 others” mentality as well as offer suggestions of how to use skills and mechanics more aggressively in the logic of the best defense is a killer offense.
The classes in this game are far more flexible than some realize and there are a lot more possible class combinations that can work through content just fine. Break this mind set and you may find new fun and challenges in your everyday LotRO gaming.
The biggest key in raid success and especially in succeeding as a raid leader is communication. Everything from basic rules and strategy to who needs to go AFK and when needs to be communicated. If nobody knows anything because nothing has been communicated then the raid will inevitably fail and the leader will have failed as a leader.
In the topic of communication we’ll be covering the following subtopics: Quality Voice Software, “Keeping the Air Clean”, “Setting the Table” and Troubleshooting.
Today, as Xyderias and I were running around doing our dances for the festival, we tried to explain to a few people our tips and tricks for getting the dances done quickly. This is a run-down of information that should make things go more smoothly for you.
Getting the Aliases Ready to Use
The alias macro system in LotRO is a little complicated. So, to make matters easier, here is a guide specifically for making dance aliases.
