Learning LOTRO: Lesson 54 - Emotes

 

In this series, I talk about various aspects of The Lord of the Rings Online. This series is meant for newcomers, but may also help veteran players find more to love about the game.

This variety of visual cosmetic is a handy way for players to express themselves in all manner of in-game experiences: breathe fire at an enemy, blow a kiss to your crush, salute your captain, slap someone with a fish. All of these are examples of emotes you can collect and use in The Lord of the Rings Online!

Learning LOTRO: Lesson Forty-Five - Monster Racial Traits

 

In this series, I talk about various aspects of The Lord of the Rings Online. This series is meant for newcomers, but may also help veteran players find more to love about the game.

A second entry? Yep! It's another double header today! Since the first entry was about PvMP, it only made sense to do a brief entry about Monster Racial Traits as well. Each of the Monster classes has the same number of base traits, but each has their own role to play in a group setting -- and that's not even getting into all of the traits and corruptions an individual can choose to slot when customizing and improving the character. So let's take a look at the Racial Traits!

Learning LOTRO: Lesson Forty-Four - Monster Play & PvMP

This topic has been a long time coming! It was originally slated for sometime in December, but there were some real life delays. In this entry, we're going to talk about The Lord of the Rings Online's version of PvP (Player vs. Player): PvMP (Player vs. Monster Player). Often also called Freep vs. Creep, this unique setup allows players to take on the role of various Monster races in designated areas of conflict, called Monster Play.
