Linked Through LOTRO - Thursday Fresh Start

Hello!  Welcome to a new group on Thursday.

We'll meet on the Landroval server at 7:45 pm CST for this fall group.  Go ahead and go to www.LOTRO.com and download the game if you haven't already.  You'll need to set up a Turbine account as well.

Most likely I'll be playing my Level 10 Rune Keeper named Karvrakk for this group at first.   But I have 9 characters on Landroval so I'm pretty well rounded with all classes (except Warden) so I can fill any role at a wide variety of levels.

/joinchannel ltl - this is one of the first things you'll want to add to your interface in game.  This will put you in the shared chat channel that we'll use to talk when in game and not on a call or in a specific group.

Groups are more fun when we can talk, so voice communication is encouraged.  I like to use a headset with a mic as much as possible, however a built-in mic on a laptop is ok in a pinch if your background noise isn't bad and you turn the game sounds down (or pipe them into earphones.)

Voice options: in order of preference

  • Method 1 - We can share Skype details and I open a group Skype call
  • Method 2 - Teleconference bridge through Google voice - I haven't used this in a while, so I'm not sure if I'll have to renew it.  Also, as it's a free service, there tends to be lots of traffic and busy signals from the mutli-level marketing crowd.
    • TELECONFERENCE BRIDGE:  1-267-507-0240
    • Conf Code: 827217 
  • Method 3 - In Game voice - this is not the highest quality, and you have to be in a fellowship (same group) for it to work.
Tuesday night - 
Let's find someplace to burn through some tough content that is achievable.  Maybe Nan Wrathren or Dol Dinen in the North Downs.
