Thread: Dev Diary Feedback: Escape from Vastin's Castle

Journey to the mysterious court of Annuvin and Vastin for tales of the Accomplishments and Titles systems in LOTRO…if you dare!

Read today's Developer Diary, then post your comments below!

I still have all of my old CYOA books. Many different series and settings, but all of them led by your own imagination.

The accomplishments do set this game apart; it is always a nice surprise to tumble on to one. I changed titles several times during closed beta just to suit my mood of the day.

It was also interesting to see what other people chose as their titles, since one will accumulate several fairly quickly. It most certainly tells you something about how they see themselves (and their avatars).

And the virtues associated with later accomplishments also add up, and allow a little functional customization of your characters.

I look forward to finding new ones as the game develops.

WOW that was highly creavtive...I feel bad for thy guy except I can't figure out who exactly he is...anyway...That made me want to read the entire thing, I was wondering why there seemed to be no kind of relation in time with some of titles quest. He picks random numbers that made me laugh too.

And I love the Binding Flash Reference


And with that, Vastin cackles. A blinding flash accompanied by a loud crack and the smell of gunpowder follows, and when you look again, he is nowhere to be seen.

But technically you wouldn't be able to look cause your temporarily paralyzed.

I really feel sorry for all the editing they have to do when one person changes something slightly.

LOL..this is just one of the things I love about you guys behind the scenes!

Sense of humour, intelligence and wit.

If anyone ever does the flowers of The Old Forest accomplishment...READ the descriptions of each flower...always brought a tear to me eye -))

Yeah Sparkle, the tales are touching.

Definitely add me to the growing list of those offering kudos to "Vastin" and assoc. for the Titles/Accomplishments element.
It means a lot to old RPer's like me to be able to set my character apart in a visible and sometimes meaningful way.
These titles we display are not just for show. Sometimes, another player will be looking for something or someone specific. Upon seeing my title of, for example, "Master Farmer," they could be encouraged to start interacting with me in a trade for craft goods.

Ramen, please tell Mr. J. K. that Johann said he did a great job!
