No thank you.

If this happened I'd likely logout for good.

Thanks for that.

(Not to mention it is probably further confused by how much was J.R.R.'s revision and how much was his son's editing. )

(One of these days I'll go back and read all the...

I thought the consensus opinion was the Glorfindel in LotR is a different Glorfindel than the Balrog killer of old...

edit: curious, more than anything

And a Balrog wields not the light of elves...

And Gandalf delayed them when they were not commited to their strength.


*shrug* conjecture on all sides, including my own.

Agree completely...

..and more broadly, as in he may have known that he would not bring down the WK, but that doesn't mean a conflict wouldn't occur at the gates.

He expresses and awful lot of doubt and surprise at times for me to be completely reconciled to fate guiding all.



And that is why opinions are cool and varied.

That is the larger philosophical argument, certainly, originating from the Silmarillion rather than the story text of LotR, per se.

*shrug* I'd still like to think there was more free-will...

I have seen this mentioned many times and respectively disagree.

The mood of the book scene of their confrontation was at the height of the gloom of the battle, and the power and anger of the...

I know. They called me up and said, "This is a representative from Turbine Games. We have a few questions for you. What day is it that your vacation starts? Do you have a few hours to kill before...

And here I hope we don't, as it just wouldn't seem to fit with the established lore and fading of the old...

This.

Plus there's already satisfying death to punctuate movie 2

edit: I predict movie one will use the ring discovery as it's big element, some lead off to why Gandalf departs, and then...

It would succeed wildly in keeping me from logging in during any of the affected periods.

I had this occur to me once, also.

That is in Tâl Methedras, right?

I tried logging out/in and it did not help.

I had to exit the zone back to Dunland-proper, and when I re-entered Tâl...

Used to be similar going North America to somewhere in Europe.

Directions would take you to Boston Harbor where they had you jump in and swim across the Atlantic to France.

Had my eye on this for a long time as it isn't just vampires, werewolves but a strong Lovecraftian and conspiracy element (you can play as an agent of Illuminati, for instance). It has a nice visual...

Didn't occur to me at the time to submit anything. I just happened to see this thread and thought I'd post this for posterity.

Over the weekend I and a friend were in the 21st Hall. We both...

And I am 100% okay with this.

Sure, the creative impetus for The Hobbit was a light hearted tale for his children, but there were clearly darker and more dramatic elements, particularly as the...

It was, indeed, an openly acknowledged issue with season one (budget restrictions combat off screen). By all accounts, we are supposed to expect things to be different with the climax of season two....

Dim-witted noobs are allowed nice things, too.

Completely agree, this has been one of my favorite moments in the books since I first read them decades ago and it never fails to move me. The movie scene was certainly worthy.


But, there is...

As a recent new player, I can vouch that this is a pretty solid recommendation to get off the ground smoothly.

I'll also say I approve the Evendim recommendations. Fun region.

I am astonishingly late to LotRO. I say this because it is easy to say I am one of the biggest LotR/Hobbit fans I know, but an addiction to another MMO outweighed any draw on my attention over this...

If the pub wasn't directly pairing images from the movie with their establishment I'd be right there with you, but they blew up their ability to make this arguement by unavoidably linking themselves...

Other reports I've read indicate the pub is using images from the films in material at the location, which is probably what triggered the attention after being in business for 20 years.

It is also...

In the late '80s my girlfriend got me a red leather hardbound edition. I loved it, and still it for sale (I see it periodically on the shelf).
edit: ah, found it -...
