I’m still having a blast playing lotro on Treebeard with Onodrimmoot! It is a quieter expansion as there isn’t any new traditional group content but our regular group evenings are still happening twice-weekly and we’re still having fun! I still have quite a lot left to do in West Rohan but June with the next update will be here before we know it. I’m fairly certain we will be able to use the lvl 95 Valar when the level cap is raised to 100 – so it will be a good time to catch up alts or even join the server!
I have been sidetracked with the releases of Return to Moria and Enshrouded (and Nightingale is about to release!). They have been really fun diversions.
I finished the main quest in Return to Moria and did some building but I am really waiting for more content / updates before I go back. I found RtM really enjoyable and atmospheric. I loved how it really felt like Moria and felt scary, dark and dangerous. The lore nuggets and story were another highlight. What I found surprising was how amazing the singing is! I really wish that singing was included in more games.
I’ve also added a video of my builds in Moria. The first section shows my main base and the second section shows some experimental building. I mined out the rock between the pillars and used those as support. The hearth removes the debris from within the build area, but as I didn’t want these builds attacked, I had to remove the hearth and the debris came back. I’m looking forward to further updates! I’m really hoping for more decorative items.
I have just ‘finished’ Enshrouded. I have legendary gear, completed all the quests I found and have explored most of the map – there may be a few lore notes / quests I’ve missed but I’m ready for the next round of content. I’ve found it very fun – the jumping & gliding in particular. The story and the world are really interesting, and again, I’m looking forward to quality of life improvements and future content. In the meantime I have my base to finish (there are lots of decorations I still need to place) and I may well rebuild parts of it, as I have all building blocks available now.
