Cool, hope you have a blast. Let us know your char names(s) if you're on
Elendilmir. I have 3 chars in their mid-teens between the 2 new accounts I
can fiddle around with & would be happy to help if you're interested in a
guided tour or some duoing whenever. I tried to organise a weekly team game
last year which ran for a while (only db & myself in the end), & I'd
probably like to try again some time, with a main focus on doing the epic
book quests around the appropriate level & following the storyline right
through (I've only ever got to Book 2 & mid 30s sadly enough). Let us know
how you go - hopefully you're already kicking monster butt for goodness &
saving Middle Earth from the clutches of the evil Witch King dude! ;)
