The One Server To Rule Them All

OK I really thought I could handle 2 servers since I had 4 servers for a long time - but I'm tired of shutting off the program and restarting it to change servers and check on and play the other characters. I thought one server over and over. Well I got all my Landroval characters I wanted to  keep ready to move to my Crickhollow server with my group over there but no server transfers were available  until October. I did not want to wait a month to play the game over transfers. I wanted the 6 toons moved badly and would have paid for those transfers on the 1st or 2nd of September gladly!! But I could NOT wait until October so I re-made them on Crickhollow instead of waiting to transfer them  - I didn't want to do that but I did it anyway! And after I did that the server transfers are now available once again!! Hahaha - and it was too late for me this month $-wise to have them transferred. OH but I did get me another 3 month subscription instead of transferring toons!

Anyway -- long story short: I have ONE server now and all my best characters are on that server. I'm done trying to handle 2 servers and I was way past done handling the 4 servers. And I have another 3-month game subscription and get all those great benefits now!!

Since September 2014

Since September 2014 I have slowly rerolled all my toons - I am now playing on 2 servers instead of the 4 that I had for a long time. Why did I reroll even my level 89 Hunter named Faron? I even rerolled Taure who was right at level 70. Well in all honesty 4 severs with 11 toons on each was simply too much! 44 characters across 4 servers had me a bit overwhelmed.

What I did was to pick out my favorite characters out of the 44 and recreate them on 2 servers: Crickhollow and Riddermark. I now how 20 characters on two servers (10 toons per server). I have to admit that I like having just the 2 severs to play on - I can now concentrate on my favorite characters and it's less time consuming and confusing this way.



What else has happened since I last blogged in September?:

 I  became a VIP for a month and now I'm a Premium member. I prefer to be VIP any day of the week - and maybe one day I can up my status back up to a VIP. It's worth it!!  I've been bumping and grinding as a F2P member for far too long - and I did open up A LOT as a F2P member. I even opened up the Rohan Great River pack as a F2P - no kidding! That was back in June of 2012!  LOTS and LOTS of bumping and grinding with 44 characters as F2P member to do this.

Is LotRO F2P - YES! It will take you a long time to grind to open up all you need, plus other things like more vault space, horse-riding skill etc.. but you can do it as a F2P member.

Is LotRO more fun as a VIP? Yes in a way. As a VIP you get special privileges and things much easier because of it (not to mention the 500 TP each month!) So it is WORTH becoming a VIP! But as a F2P member I had "bragging rights" because I did things the hard way to make it. I guess I still have my bragging rights - but I feel better as a Premium member - and still prefer to be a VIP.

Taure Level 40 Champion in Evendim

Well Before The Rerolling of The Characters

Taure Level 27 Champion in The Lone-Lands

After the Rerolling of Characters

Yes Taure is still the same Champion even after the reroll - in fact he might be even better after rerolling  him since LotRO has updated the classes.

I LOVE My LotRO! <3
