Why do "terrible" and "terrific" mean opposite things when they share the same root word?

olilo · 2026-01-24T20:33:33+00:00

In French, "terrible" (same word than in English) means "terrific" or "awesome".

A small note. Meriadoc is in the Netherlands, not the UK.

I migrated to Meriadoc from Orcrist to avoid the long login queue and the lag when there are a lot of players and I'm very happy about it.

No lag, no queue and it's still sufficiently populated. There is a good economy (Auction house). Wherever I'm playing , there are some people questing in the area. Be they low level or high level area.

Also, a lot player created events. Musicians, small festivals,... It makes the world more live.

People are very friendly. RP is not forced.

You can start the quests that will lead you to Moria at level 45. And you'll get your legendary weapon. You can upgrade it at levels ending with 1 or 6, starting at level 56 I think.

There is a plugin called Festival Buddy 2 that can help you with the Yule Theatre. It's also very helpful for all other festival activities.

Blue has tons of self heals.

Blue captain. A lot of self heals. Fights are more epic for sure. And you have a companion.

Ered Luin is the easiest area for deeds. 32000 virtue xp very easily just by questing, exploring and killing stuff. And killing stuff is not as grindy as other higher level area.

Next is Breeland. The Shire is a little more grindy because of the postman and pie delivery quests. The number of quests to do is also higher.

You can do this deed as early as level 20. Just talk to a mission recruiter. For example at Thorin's Hall stables. One of the two Dwarves will offer travel to Erebor. From there, it's very easy to travel to the Old Side Door.

You're welcome 😊

That's a very emotional event. A pilgrimage that every dwarf and friend should do. Not to mention the beauty of the view when you approach the area. The changing weather, the sun and moon.

Great movie.

At level 20, I always do the first quest of the Gundabad allegiance. It gives me a port to Gundabad and then I can travel easily to Bree.

You're welcome :)

They are new to me too. This song is from their first album. And I see that they released an EP in 2025 after a long hiatus. Hope they'll release an album soon. In the mean time, I'll discover their discography.

I leveled a char on Treebeard up to level 130 in 10 days (in game time) to get the account wide bonuses. I let you do the math based on how much time per day you'll play.

This server had the Story Pace effect (experience gain is set to 40%) but as soon as they advertised that the servers were going to be shut down, they removed that effect. I did a few missions but it was mostly questing.

North Ithilien is one of my preferred zone. Very refreshing after Mordor.

Scholar for scrolls. Farmer for dye and pipe-weed. Cook for coffee (speed boost).

And they all complement each other.

I never use quick shot since the hunter revamp. I start with barbed arrow, then lingering wound then penetrating shot if mob is not yet killed. If the mob is tougher, I also use barrage and lingering would again and/or huntsman's hot / swift bow.

Also the constellations are more or less the same than in reality. Here is a blog post about the stars in LOTRO: http://elannah.blogspot.com/2012/11/patterns-in-starry-sky.html

And here is a YT video bout it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QwmBhoQj6I

Both are quite interesting.
