LOL Nos to you a 30-something is a spring chicken right? Hey old man? :D 
I turned thirty last Monday :( Sigh, hehe.

And I'll have you know I only ever really "ganked" in UO... and WoW, but 
world PvP was pretty rare in WoW. UO though, that was a blast! Anyway it 
was hardly ganking, I never insulted, never pointed and laughed and 
never repeat killed. See? Honour amongst bastards! :D

To be honest though no I'm over grinding. I'm TRYING to get into War 
again but it's a pretty monotonous grind too, especially on the Aussie 
servers where there is NO ONE to do anything with. They are so dead :(

I just got an email from LOTRO saying I can play free for a week or so. 
Might be worth while, is the LOTRO community still going strong? WAR is 
now down to ~300,000 subscribers and they are still hemouraging players 
to WoW and Aion (in anticipation).

EVE and WoW currently seem to be the only MMO's that are gaining people 
still!
