After consolidating all my blogging activities into this single site, I am now trying to reach a wider audience. This has meant finally embracing "Facebook" which up to now I have avoided. I don't find it a particular intuitive online resource but I have finally set up a presence there.

With regard to "Twitter", I am trying to migrate from my previous account to a new one that is linked to this site. If you are a follower of Xusia of Delos would you please consider following Moderate Peril, as this would be invaluable.

It’s always fun to sit back every so often and recall your more new player moments in game. I thought it would be fun to ask people over twitter what their first big “Woah” moment was in LOTRO. Here are the first several responses. (Sorry if you answered later, I had to cut it off somewhere!)

mattplanet: Seeing Weathertop for the first time was my first “Whoa” moment…the music they have in that area too…so cool.
docholidayj: volume 1 book 1 chapter 11 back in closed beta

oh, and a VERY close second (not in timing, but in the magnitude of the “woah”) was taking those first steps into Moria

Growkin: riding to rivendel for the first time, I stopped at the top of the path and starred in awe
crusaderofmetal: Forochel’s sky!
BlueKae: Seeing Weathertop in the distance the first time I entered the Lonelands.
ThinBluLine: The epic quest line instances. I love the narration and movies tying them to the books.
KillTenRats: Bag End.
Longasc: riding through the Trollshaws and finally seeing the huge city of Rivendell below me.
Xaan: elven starter area :) . Once out of the instance
LOTRO_Fanatik: My first ‘Whoa!’ was seeing the walking trees in the Old Forest (v1.0). I couldn’t shut up about it in the OOC at the time. Read the rest of this entry »
