Collecting is My Bag Baby!

In all MMO's there exists various types and forms of playstyles. The PvPer, the Altaholic, the Raider, the Roleplayer, the Achiever, and my personal favorite the Collector. What the hell is a collector you might ask? Well I am for one! However, as a simple definition anyone who enjoys collecting things as a sub-aspect of the online game they play. I might even goes as far as saying the Collector is the rarest of the MMO subtypes. For them the simple task of collecting their objects is just as satisfying if not more then the usual aspects of playing an MMO. Everyone can have aspects of all these subtypes, but the true extremists/OCD types will go all out.

An Epic Experience

    I decided to make another LOTRO post in commemoration of the awesome guild I ran during the time I played. I am pleased to say we accomplished most of our goals, had many server firsts, built a strong core membership and had one of the best reputations as a kinship on the Gladden server at the time. I can say that not many people get to have their dream "guild" experience in an MMO. It truly was an epic experience and I was honored to have a hand in it.

Below I have compiled some of my favorite memories as a kinship we experienced. All in all I thank all my old Epic friends for making our Kinship so successful during its prime years of dominating Gladden server, it was an honour and privilege to play with you all.

Our server first Thorog kill, and world 3rd.

I am feeling sentimental...

     Probably what a few glasses of good red wine will do to you, but without further ado I give you some pictures of my LOTRO journey. Some are old friends long gone and some are still people I keep in touch with. Here are some of my fondest memories in LOTRO. Note some of these are old because I retired shortly after Mines of Moria eventually was released.
