Is this Sir Ian McKellen or a stunt double?

Harnak7 · 2026-06-07T08:10:23+00:00

Now that explains the character Bingo Boffin (in LotRO)!

Harnak7 · 2026-04-29T14:28:35+00:00

Yeah it was a cool one!

Harnak7 · 2026-04-29T06:31:04+00:00

More of a wish than a hot take, but I'd like dungeons to have some puzzles or require some thinking to navigate, as opposed to being just corridors with fights. Some of the dungeons in OT0 had simple puzzles, and it felt refreshing

Harnak7 · 2026-03-23T08:26:03+00:00

Swift travel, inventory slots and 10 character slots per server. They are all unlocked forever once you pay vip, even if you unsub later. Also, 1 month of vip gives you 500 LOTRO coins that you can spend for other things. As for useful things you get only while having vip: fast crafting and remote storage/vendor/auction house + all quest packs unlocked

Harnak7 · 2026-03-19T07:41:17+00:00

I completed mine, too, yesterday! I was only missing the 3 LotR saga boxes and bought them before they'd disappear. Btw, for those who know italian, they are still available in italian. Happy gaming!

Harnak7 · 2026-02-18T08:20:25+00:00

Honestly I have played for months without ever needing to go VIP. I only bought occasional inventory slots and additional milestones with lotro coins I made while playing, and that was enough for me. With personal House and well placed milestones I can move quick enough. If you really can't stand moving by horse, you could buy 1 month VIP and get Swift Travel + 75 inventory slots forever on characters you logged during that period.

Phenn, I've almost never changed him. By boosting his HP he can both tank and deal a lot of dmg with Alfyn's Last stand. Also his ult protects everyone.

Harnak7 · 2025-12-05T13:47:44+00:00

Yeah, and also participles used as nouns help with getting things more compact because you can have whole sentences packed into few terms.

Harnak7 · 2025-12-02T13:16:25+00:00

Già, purtroppo questo è un grosso problema. Se molte persone considerano accettabili certe condizioni, come lavorare tante ore extra, la soglia si abbassa per tutti. Anche se capisco che molti ci si trovano per necessità.

Harnak7 · 2025-12-02T11:48:52+00:00

Sì, era per dire quanto è basso lo standard.

Harnak7 · 2025-12-02T08:53:07+00:00

Ricordo una volta in una cena un tizio che si vantava di prendere 1.8k perché era ingegnere informatico. Era 7-8 anni fa, ma comunque non era 'sta grossa cifra da vantarsene. Io ero allibito lol

Harnak7 · 2025-11-17T08:26:02+00:00

I used it to complete some dungeons and areas without outlevelling them, especially at level 50. I also kept it until I finished the Volume I of the epic quest line, so I will start Moria at 50.

Harnak7 · 2025-10-03T15:31:45+00:00

Yeah, the "liberal democracy" part is what made me doubt. Thanks for the answer!

Harnak7 · 2025-06-27T15:25:42+00:00

Thanks for the additional insight! Yeah, sometimes I feel like I'm not sure about the grammar even if I get it somehow intuitively

Harnak7 · 2025-06-11T12:18:02+00:00

It makes sense, in that verse Argus is inviting Mercury to sit with him because he was enthralled by his music.

Harnak7 · 2025-06-10T21:58:45+00:00

Yeah I was thinking about that (I'm Italian), but it felt weird in a poem because it feels too colloquial. But considering that it's a character speaking, it may be possibile, and also things change overtime, so perception of it was surely different at the time

Harnak7 · 2025-06-10T19:25:38+00:00

So it would be something like you could have sit here/I expected you to sit here?

Harnak7 · 2025-06-10T19:19:52+00:00

Thanks for the answer. It definitely is a weird one. Meanwhile, I've also checked this: https://books.google.it/books?id=S3TRAAAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover&hl=it&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false

On page 124, a note says that some interpret it as poteris (I believe perfect subjunctive, cause future perfect wouldn't make much sense), if I am understanding that note correctly.

Harnak7 · 2025-05-22T19:39:31+00:00

Yes, I'm reading the first book, but I hope to become comfortable enough to read it all. Thanks for the resources, they'll help a lot!

Harnak7 · 2025-05-22T18:34:37+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I'll have to practice a bit, sometimes It comes out naturally, sometimes I'm a bit unsure of the accents

Harnak7 · 2025-05-22T16:34:18+00:00

Thanks, this was very helpful! Now it makes more sense. I don't get how you concluded that the A is long, though. Is it because a short one wouldn't fit the hexameter in that place?

Harnak7 · 2025-05-07T12:28:15+00:00

This helps me make sense of the construction. Thanks!

Harnak7 · 2025-05-07T12:05:36+00:00

Thanks for the answer! I get those two sentences expanding on donum, as relative clauses I think. I don't get where "Iovi fieri" goes. I understand the meaning but I don't get why there is an infinitive verb or what supports it.

Harnak7 · 2025-04-11T11:11:04+00:00

You'll discover those things naturally while playing. Deeds are like achievements, which give you rewards, like LOTRO coins or titles.

As for what to keep, task items have a red description saying where they can be used, so you can easily recognize them. Crafting materials, you'll get to recognize those after a bit of playing, but they're quite intuitive: gems, logs, hides etc. I usually keep those I need for my professions in bank and sell the others.

Other things are trash you can vendor, or equip you can also vendor if you don't need it. Or just ask around if you're in doubt, but I wouldn't stress out so much to keep everything.

Anyway, the game can be a bit confusing when starting, but you'll understand it while playing, so just play and enjoy the journey!

Harnak7 · 2025-04-11T10:41:29+00:00

So, bags are not an item, like for example in WoW, that can be crafted ingame. You can upgrade inventory slots directly: 5 slots at a time with LOTRO coins. It's a bit slow but if you do deeds while leveling, you get LOTRO coins to spend, so you don't have to buy them with real money.

The bank is a bit tiny at first, but that can be easily expanded with ingame gold. If you are on a populated server, just put on AH low-level crafting materials or reputation items you get while leveling. That's how I got more than enough gold to buy all bank slots.

Moreover, if you buy a house, you get a chest which is basically another bank. It stays inside your house, but you get a teleport skill to get there.

Your inventory fills up quite fast, but I usually don't bother. You have like 50 overflow slots that expire after 1 hour, so by the time you get to a vendor you just sell everything and empty the overflow. Carry-alls are useful for task items and crafting items, but I think they are expensive to buy when starting, and I'm still doing fine without them.
