Hi all! Want to try out the 14 day trial, but cant seem to find an eu client. Ive tried to download it from gamershell the 7,5 gb client but it is corrupt. Any ideas where can i download a working client?
Hi! The file is probably not corrupt its just your unzip program that cant unzip it (just a guess). Try using WinRar instead and it should work! Hope it helps :)
(remember that the 7.5 gb client is low-res textures only)

Just hang out in Angmar and wait for an NPC to yell at you?
Some NPCs outside Gath Fortnir will give you the quests and start the instances (all 3 are not always available at the same time)
Start with doing Urugarth then Carn dum since you will need items from thoose dungeons for your class quests and dont require you to be lvl 50...
The other dungeons are a bit harder so I would wait untill lvl 50! Focus on completing the epic books and when you reach lvl 50 you can start raiding the rift (if you are in a kin who does that). There are now nice armor sets to get from doing the angmar or anunnimas instances aswell!
The battlefiled instances in Angmar gives you alot of nice jewelry so its a good idea to do them aswell!

The whole problem with LOTRO is, that they didn't really had an endgame and that the 2 endgame instances were far from enough to get enough people subscribed.
So instead of adding more endgame instances to create more diversity and more options, they followed the easy road and turned the whole game into a mindless faction grind.
It's already a chore of a grind to max out your deeds, yet alone that as endgame you got faction farming in front of you.
I say this was one of the major reasons the subscription numbers dropped so badly (and not only because of Age of Conan, as that flopped misserably).
Mines of Moria will make a lot of people return and we will have to see if they stick around a little longer.
Cheers
I agree and disagree :)
The lack of end-game have been LotrOs biggest problem ever since launch! But mostly it comes down to character progression and itemization...
But does anyone actually see the faction system as end-game that yo have to grind?? All it does is give you acces to some fluff and swift-travel routs mostly and I dont know alot of peole who actually grind rep in LotrO (but though doing other things you eventually get high rep with the factions).. And its not like Reputation is the only and-game they have added since launch.. book 9 had both a raid and a 6-man... book 10 had 3x 6-man.. book 11 had another raid and so on..
book 14 really improved the end-game in my opinion and they reworked itemization and added alot of new reasons to do the dungeons + adding the 3 Battlefield instances that are ALOT of FUN :)
LOL this thread should be called "Openedge1 oversteps his bounds"!
Now nobody can argue about what he really is on theese forums! :)
In your opinion, what kind of gamer are you?
