Got my email from them yesterday and installed lotro to have a nosey.
What a pain in the ass the updating is,loads of link for all the books with some sites asking you to register.

The auto update is painfully slow,its turned me off updating already.

Well if you want to reduce your update make sure you don't select the Hi-Res packs, that seems to really hump it up. Well at least it appeared to for me.

If they want to encourage players back the current update method is not helping.

Why cant they have a nice fast auto update like all the other mmos.

No pain no gain cutty

That said having reinstalled WoW, AoC and lotro recently they're all pretty bad coming from a fresh install. Though WoW is ahead of the pack.

I'll be on for definite.

Most likely I'll be playing fiach my freep, so send me a tell and/or pop onto the dummyspitters vent. With the +25% exp I'm hoping to hit 50 this weekend or get damn close.

Sounds good Cully, maybe we could get a warg pack going as its will be a bit of fun if we are all playing at the same level.
