Chris Asks:

Is the Lore-Master Eagle pet useful enough for a soloer that I should grind through those horrible, horrible level 50 class quests?

I’ve been using the Lynx since I got it. The sabretooth was disappointing – its cone attacks seemed better suited for raids and other mass combat situations.

The very plain and simple answer is : Yes.

Here’s why:

ElboriquestionSo when I begged and pleaded on my knees to Merric and Goldenstar to let me come write here at CSTM, one of the things I mentioned that I might like to do is a weekly, general LotRO Q+A (or heck, if you trust me to give you life advice I’ll take a crack at that too… just remember that I work for Subway and am addicted to an MMO).

So here’s your chance to ask any old thing about LotRO; be it a matter of fact, opinion, or interpretation… It doesn’t matter to me. If I don’t have an answer, I’ll find one. If your question is really good maybe it’ll spur me to devote a whole article to it. Don’t be afraid to have a little fun with your questions because I won’t be afraid to have fun in answering whenever the door to do so is left open.

Sapience Our final PAX East interview is with LOTRO Community Manager, Sapience. We brought with us player submitted questions to ask him. The interview covers a series of topics including PvMP, Skirmishes, future enhancement questions and just general thoughts and suggestions. Some of the PvMP questions are repeats from the interview with Frelorn but you get to hear the Community Managers point of view on the subject!

We had a bit longer to talk with Sapience than our other recent podcasts and this interview is around 30 minutes long. We did end up getting kicked out of the exhibition hall so if we didn’t get to your question, we do apologize! Thank you to everyone that sent us a question!
