Hi
I have recently started playing LOTRO again after quite a long break during which I went back to WoW. As WoW is losing its appeal and I have a lifetime sub to LOTRO I thought I would check it out and see how it has improved. I have a lvl 30 Hunter, 26 Captain and 20 Loremaster on a different server but I thought it would be best to reroll and start again so I have remade the same three classes.
Character names are Xandarra - Hunter, my alts are Xandarha - Loremaster and Zandarra - Captain.
As shown in the subject heading I am interested in joining The Order of Gilthoniel as I already have a friend there, Silks.
Age wise I am well past my sell by date, I am a mother of five sons who between them have provided me with nine grandchildren.
My initiation into games began way back with text adventures for which I ran a fanzine Adventure Probe, until my work commitments forced me to pass it on to someone else. My first computer was a ZX81 with a wobbly ram pack on which I patiently typed in games for the kids only for someone to knock the table and I would have to start again. I soon upgraded to a Spectrum 48K followed by a CPC 6128 Amstrad with colour screen!!! I followed these with an Atari ST and an Amiga until they made PC's more of a standard.
I started playing MMORPG's with EQ where I spent 4 happy years in a good raiding guild. I moved to WoW playing it from the beta stage and, with some breaks in between for other games, am still playing it today.
My main reason for wanting to join ToG is to be amongst more mature players who don't think it is silly for a grandmother to play games.
I had to take early retirement a few years ago due to ill health so I have a lot of spare time to kill. I am located in England and play more or less every day and most evenings, I am usually online til midnight and sometimes later.
I hope that is enough information and I look forward to joining you.
