At first i went to auction house and start selling again. The spice must flow!!!

I completed my last two horse-quests on my main for the Horsing Around deed. Then I cycled through my alts to make guild patterns.

I got the “Heroine of the Lost” title on my scholar and hit level 49 with her in Forochel.

First thing was to check in with my kinnies, and update the MotD to remind folks store and myaccount were still down. Didn’t want anyone surprised.
Then I did a round of dailies, and logged, cuz RL is demanding attn this weekend.

Hytbold dailies, lamenting that the rubberbands have been tightened up during the downtime.

My kin ran a skraid, and I was “lucky” enough to log in just before they started.

I got invited to a kinship skraid, as well. I even got a Riddermark Star-Lit Crystal on the first run.

Hytbold! Then turtle!

How is made a new cosmetic not the #1 choice? Is that not what everyone does daily?
February 17, 2013 at 11:39 pm
i only did dailies first so i would have the rest of the day to make outfits!

Eiledontruevoice
Danathan
Denathorn and Erutheone
It was good to see them. We did some fighting, then some crafting and sharing of items made, and resources. I was saving Montania for tomorrow night she is my Elf Guardian and quite a tough girl! She deserves time only for her, as she puts up a good battle!! The Witcher 2 is a good game but I missed LOTRO, good to be back in Middle Earth!

I attended a kinship wake for our good friend Girn who passed away recently. We had a fabulous bash with Merci providing the entertainment with his 11-piece band!

I played some Path of Exile and left LotRo to all the junkies for the night (I live in Europe so the servers came back online at around 6 p.m.). Logged in this morning and did the Hytbold daylies and two resource instances. Now I’m bored again. And no, I do not have one Character that ist through with Hytbold yet. But I’m sick of the grind.

Waiting for the store…
February 17, 2013 at 1:37 pm
Emptied my mailbox of all the auction items that were returned to me because the auctions timed out during maintenance.
I probably should have realized that they were going to have much shortened exposure to shoppers because of maintenance but I haven’t been a really big player in the LOTRO Commodities markets until recently. lol
February 17, 2013 at 3:53 pm
Said hello to everyone in my kinship and userchat channels!
February 17, 2013 at 5:31 pm
Somebody in my kin was giving away cosmetics, so I decided to make a new outfit.
February 17, 2013 at 8:56 pm
All I did was get on Meiledora the Elf Guardian, went back to work harvesting Skarn ore and smelt them into ingots; and, I made more Metalsmith crests.

Ran some 2-player, tier 1 skirmishes solo on my hunter. They’re just the right balance of challenge and decent rewards that I can handle on my favorite (hunter) class. Put some nice techno/trance music on in the background–Armin van Buuren’s States of Trance are my current favorites.

I checked the LOTRO store for the new discounts. (Without success) Then logged out as I need new quests before I can continue playing.
