You're more than welcome if you have a LOTRO account Leo, the more the
merrier, but I was pinging "Ceo"wulf, our resident Aussie mmorpger from the
other coast of Aus-land. ;) What timezone are you in again? In any case, it
was just a casual knock-about until if & when it becomes something more
(like a regular weekly/fortnightly team-game). But I haven't heard from Ceo
as yet so likely nothing until tomorrow (Sunday morning GMT+10, or next
w/e).

I just started TQ:IM with the Mrs recently, but we're struggling to find the
time given all our RL commitments at present (building a house among other
things such as the ski season here being upon us :). We also have another 3
mths of LOTRO subs on 2 new accounts & have just started a couple CoH chars
as well to take advantage of the 14 day free trial, which she seems to like
the most *sigh*, because it's mostly just killin & no gear early on makes it
easier to get into than most mmos.

Mind you, NC offering a crippled trial is really bad form - there is no
teaming, no trade & no mission architect for trial players, which sucks
major mutant monkey balls if you ask me. I'm almost of a mind to pull the
plug & write them an unhappy camper email telling them they've lost 2
potential subs for pulling this kinds shit. If they had any sense they would
have capped chars to 20th & allowed ALL features of the game. I haven't even
tried IOs (crafting) for fear it's not allowed. Great trial - just run & gun
the streets or play solo - they're *completely* missed what 50% of the game
makes it so great! *huge Shrek sigh*

Always *sniff*

Just saw it dude - no probs with LOTRO, understand. Re D3 - there will
probably be a alt. NG for it no doubt, & many regs will be playing from here
& the agd2 group. Might start a thread for a show of hands closer to the
time ;).
