Back to WoW…
A few weeks ago, one of my guildmates from WoW sent a Facebook message to our group, saying, “I’m thinking about getting back into gaming. Where are you all playing now?”
Many people weren’t playing any MMOs. A couple of folks were still playing WoW. I was off playing LOTRO. But with that one Facebook post, most of the core of our guild suddenly decided to return… including myself. Originally, I said I wouldn’t go back to WoW, but as more people posted, “Hmm… maybe I’ll try it again,” I decided that I wanted to play with these guys again. Now we average about a dozen people on in the evening.
I picked up my resto druid, got her to 80 and very quickly geared her up. In January, my guild will have been together for three years so it’s pretty neat to have everyone back.
Our first raid boss down after taking a several months break. We'd killed him many times before, but this time we celebrated playing together again.
I found Frostmourne!
I’m still playing LOTRO as well! Once I got my hunter to 30, I was able to start using the new skirmish system, which is a blast! In the past, I only played one MMO at a time, but I find that having two to bounce back and forth between keeps me from getting bored or burnt out on either one. Now that the level requirements for a mount were lowered, my hunter was able to get a Bree Starter Horse. While slow, it certainly seems to help in getting around. Running from Ost Goruth to the Forsaken Inn isn’t quite so long anymore.

Between the skirmish system in LOTRO and the new dungeon finder tool in WoW, I’ve got plenty to do when I get a chance to play for a bit.
