We have two great choices up for grabs in the August Loot Tournament weekend in Legends of Norrath!

Starting at 7AM PDT on August 23rd, for just ten (10) event passes each participant will receive three (3) Legends of Norrath booster packs, a Trial of Justice (4P10 ) promotional card and his or her choice of either an EverQuest® Familiar of King Gelaqua (4EQP4) or EverQuest® II Parrot (4EQIIP4) loot card depending upon their system settings! Participating players who place in the top 25 of each event receive additional booster packs. Please note that participation is limited to U.S. residents only.

 

 

 

Familiar of King Gelaqua: A magical doppelganger created from icy crystal shards. Summons an Icy Gelidran that increases the owner’s mana pool by up to 400 and mana regeneration by up to 5.

Parrot: Summons a magical Parrot that sits on your shoulder. No self-respecting Pirate would be without one.

For all those hoping that the book 14 error that causes crashes to desktop would be fixed in the last hotfix, nope. It hit me 5 times last night.

Just curious - will the XP from 50 to 51, 51 to 52 and so on be in very large amounts in order to 1) make it difficult and 2) make it last?? Opinions?

I am 26 years old and the leader of The Silverback Cartel. We formed back around July 23rd I believe. Most of our players are willing to help out with anything be it quests or crafting. We do not have many high lvl players as of yet, but I am always willing to use my lvl 50 hunt to help lower lvls. As far as how much you play, does not matter to me, I do not boot people for inactivity, only for stealing, and would only boot you if we somehow reached our max players and needed to make room and you never play.

The plan is to organize weekly events for players who want to take advantage of our helpfulness. Start off with one night for book quests and another night to help people with some hard fellowship quests they might have. Of course you only have to participate if you need them. I do not force or ask anything of anyone in our kinship. All I ask is that you have a sense of humor. I try to have our kin be as much fun as people want. Raiding and adventures into the moors will happen once we get a appropriate number of lvl 50’s. I also have a toon in my old kin, and will link up with them at times as they have a number of lvl 50’s.

I also created a chat channel, which you type: /joinchannel ApeRangers rivendell

Type exactly that and it will work. rivendell is the password. Feel free to join, even if you don’t want to join my kin. I made it for my friends in other toons as a way for people in my kin to talk to others for help or advice, has worked well so far when people are on.

So send a tell or message to Bonobodir or Bonobodon if you are interested in joining our kin. There are officer positions available as well, and you can have duties or you can just have the status, doesn’t matter to me. Thanks for reading.

I was wondering now that Vol. I is complete, if there is going to be another PDF Manual update? Kind of like the one they had a few books ago.

Hi,

Myself and some friends have been playing LotRO for a few months, and now some other friends are interested in checking out the game. They have gone through the trouble of downloading and installing the trial client. However, there seems to be some difficulty in obtaining a trial key. The page at http://www.lotro.com/trial does not appear to have a link to register for a trial key. There is no other clear location on the lotro.com website to look for such a registration option. What am I missing? How can people obtain a trial key?

Searching the forums shows a few other threads discussing issues with trial keys. One thread, http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.p…ight=trial+key, gives a URL of http://www.lotro.com/index.php?page_id=148 for getting a key. That link now appears to be dead and only redirects to the home page.

Thanks.

I’ll post a dxdialog at the end. I’ve always crashed once a night/every other night. I chalked it up to an older type of motherboard (was told it was 1st gen pentium 4) but one of the googles I did on a bsod message seemed to indicate that it was a sound card problem. Well, the crashes were nothing compared to what some were having until recently so I let it go.

Now they happen multiple times per session. bsod, freeze with a held buzz (last sound i think), restart, etc I’ve got ‘em all. It looks like the cpu usage is really high when the game is running and I wondered if the hard drive was kicking the bucket. Then I saw a thread that seemed to point towards the network card. This interested me because of a few event messages I found:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0×1000007f (0×00000008, 0×80042000, 0×00000000, 0×00000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini082208-02.dmp.

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0×1000000a (0×00000004, 0×00000002, 0×00000001, 0×804dbc9c). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini082208-01.dmp.

This is the one that caught my eye. It occurred at least twice last night but I didn’t look at the clock during the crashes:

The system detected that network adapter \DEVICE\TCPIP_{0744657C-ADA4-4070-BE03-F37A2D7A85B0} was connected to the network, and has initiated normal operation over the network adapter.

Can anybody interpret these into useful info? I’m off to figure out the dxdialog thing.

Thanks!

edit 1:

sorry, but i can’t seem to wrap my brain around step 3:
1. Paste or type the information you want into a post as normal.
2. Highlight the area that you want in the code tags
3. Once you have everything highlighted click on the # sign located in the editor above the text box. It is the 3rd icon from the right on the second line.

don’t see a #sign, editor, icon, or second line

Edit II:

A: edit your user profile; At top click on ‘quick links’—->edit profile
B: on left click on ‘edit options’
C: near bottom see ‘message edit interface’; select ‘enhanced interface…’
D: return to post and select ‘advanced options’ at bottom of page
