The Great Delving

Was in Moria for a bit tonight killin things and doing a couple of quests. Seems there’s a lot of problems with disconnections and game freezes. A couple of weeks ago I kept disconnecting from the server but now that it’s working fine for me, it’s not working fine for everyone else. They’ve now got free to play accounts so that anyone can play, maybe their servers weren’t ready for it :S

Arggghhhhh LOTRO is down!

What else is a gal supposed to do on a Friday night???? I had just gotten into it and five minutes later the connection was lost and I’m still not getting in. It’s been a whole 20 minutes now! Sad but true.. emmm. Here’s some screenshots.

Mwahaha long weekend

Last week was a right bugger. At work one of my projects (a web shop) went live and started pulling in a heap of visitors and orders during it’s first day which of course presented its own problems (and its first day just happened to be on the weekend also..), so had lots of work to do to get everything ship-shape and just the way they liked it. Now it’s (hopfeully) going smoothly so I’ve had a long weekend and been off on Friday and tomorrow as well. Am really loving it at work, nice atmosphere, nice people and a whole lot of learning which is just as it should be.

I wish I could say I’ve used this weekend productively but I’ve mostly been playing Lord of the Rings Online and decided to create a new character on a busier server. There’s about 10 servers in total each with their own set of players, think I was playing on one of the more sparsely populated ones, now I’m on the busiest one which means there’s quite a bit of competition for resources but at least there won’t be problems finding fellowships for the quests. I also kind of sickened of my elven hunter chick cos Lauri was always taking the piss and going on about elven princesses and all that jazz and I read a blog entry on one of the fan sites written by an elven chick who was a total bam (‘Ohhh I just lurveee elves’) but her avatar looked like mine so am now a sensible human and the elves can bugger off ;) Now I’ve just got to get back up to level 32 again :/

In real life the washing machine has given up the ghost. R.I.P old stinky. The washing machine looks like it’s from the 70′s and it’s done well to last this well. When it goes into the spin cycle it sounds like there’s rocks in there. Ordered a new slim-line top-loader fancy madoodah that has an A+ power rating. Bet our electricity bill will half (halve ?!) as well. Lauri wasn’t chuffed cos I ticked the ‘remove our old one’ checkbox to the tune of 25 euro but hell, it’ll save a lot of angst and broken backs as we try to move the freaken cement block. Bugger it, easy road all the way. Once the new one arrives I might even do some laundry just so I can play with the settings :0.

Can you guess where I am?

The Party Tree

The title of the image will probably give it away. I downloaded Lord of the Rings online last weekend and have been having a great time exploring and just generally enjoying myself. The graphics are awesome and surprisingly there’s not really any lag although I’ve had a server timeout a couple of times. Haven’t really met anyone in there so I wonder if they’re all hiding in Gondor or Mordor. I think it’s almost certain that I’ll have to upgrade my character (i.e pay a monthly fee) cos it’s just that good ;)
