Downtime today to patch the recent update that gave a bunch of folks stutters and lag stuff, and it's during my normal stream. I was going to see if it ends early, but I think I'll just skip this week and catch you all next Tuesday! Farmers Faire starts next Thursday, yay! #lotrofamily

B4 and I won't be available for our streams tomorrow, so no Heart of a Hobbit or Plugin Along this week. Should be back as normal next week. 😊 Enjoy the Anniversary festival! #lotrocc

New servers, new character! Starting a new hobbit from the beginning on Meriadoc today on Heart of a Hobbit. Normal start time of 11:30 am, pinned to LOTRO server time (US Eastern time) so one hour earlier than normal for Europe.

B4 and I put together a video to kind of hand-hold folks through the Character Transfer Wizard. It's a nice short 6 minutes, so shouldn't take too much of your day, and you can pause and play when it's time to actually do the transfers. Happy viewing! #lotro #lotrocc

More proof that #LOTRO has the best landscape design in MMOs. Not some of the best. THE best!

Ooo, may have to look into this...
LOTRO's new bauble system includes a tent and campfire -- I can finally set up a camp in this game! I'm stupidly delighted. #lotro #lotrofamily

Still in the recovery phase of this illness, but B4 are gonna try for some abbreviated streaming tonight, starting at 11:30 Eastern US Time. :)

That cold that was peeking out during last week's stream turned into a full-on flu/cold thing, and B4 and I are suffering. :( So no stream from us today. Stay well everyone and hopefully we'll see you next week! #lotro #lotrofamily #lotrocc

Exciting times in LOTRO-world! The annoucement of new servers, the potential closure of existing ones, potential early closing of a Legendary one - much to discuss! See you today, starting at 11:30 Eastern US Time!

No stream from me for B4 today. Been going for about 24 hours over 6 time zones and one big ocean, so time for this little hobbit to get some sleep. And a hobbit I am this week - I ate very well over Thanksgiving last week. ❤️ See you all next week!
December 3, 2024 at 12:10 PM
Het all! Just a quick note to let you know I've updated stuff here to Life Beyond the Shire. I plan to keep this account hobbity and happy. :) Sometimes have non-hobbity thoughts so those may end up elsewhere. ;)

Welcome to the new folks! Everyone, here's your weekly reminder that I'll be streaming LOTRO shortly. Come hang out for the gezelligheid or if you're interested in the Dol Amroth factions, because that's what we're doing today. :D twitch.tv/lotrostream #lotro #lotrofamily #lotrocc #closedcaptions

Lots of new folks arriving here these days. If you stumbled across me, welcome! I keep things pretty hobbity around here with my posts but occasionally that pesky real-life stuff seeps in. Pull up a comfy chair; the tea is almost ready. :)

Harvestmath/Harvest Festival is in full swing! Last week we went through the quest chain to get access to the Haunted Burrow and did a number of quests in there and around the area. We'll continue today, probably with Wistmead as well! twitch.tv/lotrostream #lotro #lotrofamily
