After a year or so of not touching it at all, I have decided that I am going to get back into Lord of the Rings Online this evening.  I remember it being a blast back in the day, but I just sort of stopped playing for no real reason at all.  The story telling in it is to die for.  I would even go as far as to say that it has the best story telling in any MMO ever made.  I remember playing as an elf back then.  An Elvish Lore-master if I recall correctly.  Lore-masters are an odd mix between a mage and a hunter in typical MMO lingo.  Mage in that they can deal massive amounts of damage, and hunter due to pets. 
 
I am planning on starting over fresh from the very beginning of the epic tale as a wee Hobbit.  A Hobbit Minstrel I think.  Why?  Hobbit's are short, and I am short.  Minstrels are healers, and are amazing at going solo because they have some awesome attack abilities.  The only thing that I would need to know is if any Giant Bombers are still playing LOTRO and what servers they are on so that I can pick where I would like to play.

Never played it, never will, but still...have fun =P.

I think come fall there might be a fair few more GB people playing Lotro with it going F2P. I know it was mentioned a fair bit when we were discussing which MMO to play. Why don't you give Runes of Magic a shot? It might not be as great as lotro but roughly 20 odd GiantBombers just started up on it. 
 
Also, the class you used to play gave me bad memories of warlocks on wow!

LOTRO is unquestionably the king of narrative in an MMO, and the PvE is divine.

That's the link to the official page with all the info being updated quite often. But there are plenty of posts on the RoM section of the forum now also.

I will be trying it out for sure when it goes free to play. When is that happening again? I can't remember. But I want in when it is.

True dat. Things that start paid and go free are always a treat. "

I got the client down. Most likely I will be an elf hunter. Or a human Bugler. What do you think? I like high DPS classes. 

I was very close to getting a lifetime sub for this. However now it's going to become free to play, I'm waiting until that - then just pay for extra things here and there.
I'm quite excited for it, I have played the trail and loved the atmosphere and world. Even though I do prefer WoW, there's something about the LOTR environment. I hope the free to play brings more players to the game.
