The player’s are the best part of LOTRO.
Lord of the Rings Online is celebrating the second anniversary of the game. They are offering a 2 week free trial, and bonus experience. I thought it might be a good time to write a short review.

But blogging is a whole new experience. I have been trying to make the conversion, in my little brain …WOW. (ha,ha I am too old for this shit) Read the story »
