    Darn, I was hoping this article was about buying helper coins at a discount in the cash shop.


    Instead they expect you to actually play the game with others to earn them?

    WTF kind of MMO is this?


    (Yeah, I've drunk the Kool aid.)

    it is because the game is not "released" but yet people can buy it ? Sounds like a trap.

    We did this too ourselves. Gamers fought to Alpha and beta test games. Someone tested the idea how much would we pay to test and sure enough, it was allot. Now it's just part of Evey games business plan.

    What I wonder if , the game will shut down because of poor pre launch sales...

    Was a beta tester for this game. I didn't mind it but it wasn't anything great either. I didn't enjoy being grouped with random people at all in the expeditions as some of the puzzles actually required you to communicate to complete them. Most of the randoms I got grouped with just ran ahead didn't even try to communicate and stuff was missed because of this, nor would they answer you when you did try to talk to them. In the end I decided to give this game a pass. I don't know if it is because I am an older gamer, talking pre-Atari age, but I don't enjoy playing games where I get grouped with random people anymore. I don't mind having others running around doing things, don't mind random grouping when the people actually talk. If I get into a group and people will not even respond to hello at the beginning I am most likely going to bail on that group. It is one thing to be shy and not enjoy talking to others, but don't join groups and not respond at all.

    I volunteer to write really important articles about Lotro. To help mmorpg.com decide (and hire me) - just some of the articles I may start writing right now.

    1. How to get reputation wth Men of Bree
    2. Where to find Thorins Hall in Lotro
    3. Hard to find Hobitton? Look no further
    4. How to sell loot in Lotro
    5. How to buy from NPC in Lotro
    6. Where to find inventory in Lotro.

    As you see, this valuable information is not found on Google or wikis. Only I can publish these valuables at really good price :P

    I'm sure those other folks are probably wondering why some gamers insist on wasting time chatting via text instead of being on voice chat and rush clearing the dungeon, will even take a vote to kick such from the group.

    I got tired of being g-kicked so quit playing with randos over 10 years ago.

    For real. A game has be be astoundingly, excruciatingly bad to get a "mostly negative" on Steam.

    Or just be a predatory f2p pile of garbage. Oh, wait -- same thing.

    Or be inaccessible which has often been the case. Once folks get in they seem to report it to be a fair to middling experience at least, with some even giving it a favorable.

    100% this. I've been along for the ride since it released in Early Access on Steam last week, and it has been a pretty catastrophically bad initial launch. Server instability, queues not functioning, and the database infrastructure basically fell down. It took over a week but as of yesterday the game is finally more stable, queues are down to a few minutes to get in, and very few disconnects.

    The game itself is a lot of fun and has the aesthetics of WoW with a lot of the gameplay elements and systems of Warframe. I find the upgrade systems to be a bit obtuse right now but have only gotten to level 9 so still fairly early game and a lot to still unlock.

    For those not aware, this is a paid early access for Steam and PS5 only right now, but will be a F2P release in the future. I believe almost everything can be unlocked through gameplay but there is a cash shop to accelerate unlocks. So far it seems quite reasonable and I don't regret paying in despite initial instability.

    I volunteer to write really important articles about Lotro. To help mmorpg.com decide (and hire me) - just some of the articles I may start writing right now.



    1. How to get reputation wth Men of Bree




    As you see, this valuable information is not found on Google or wikis. Only I can publish these valuables at really good price :P



    I don't know...


    I tried the LLM LLama2-13b on my local machine (totally open source and free) with the following prompt:

    "in the game lotro (lord of the ring online) How to get reputation wth Men of Bree?" (I left the spelling mistakes on purpose)



    And I got the following answer:

    **************

    In Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO), you can gain reputation with the Men of Bree by completing quests and deeds for them. Here are some specific steps you can take to improve your reputation with the Men of Bree:

    Complete the introductory quest chain: Start by completing the initial quests in the Men of Bree starting area, which will introduce you to the faction and give you a sense of their goals and values.

    Help defend the town: The Men of Bree are often under attack from various threats, such as orcs and other enemies. Defending the town and its citizens can help improve your reputation with the faction. You can find opportunities to defend the town by talking to the local guard captain or checking the bulletin board in the town square.

    Complete quests for the Men of Bree: There are a number of quests that are specifically designed to increase your reputation with the Men of Bree. These quests may involve helping the faction's leaders, gathering resources, or dealing with threats to the town. You can find these quests by talking to the local quest giver in the Men of Bree starting area.

    Participate in events: The Men of Bree often host events and festivals, which can be a great way to earn reputation points. These events may involve crafting competitions, races, or other activities that showcase your skills and dedication to the faction.

    Help out at the local inn: The Prancing Pony Inn is a popular gathering place for the Men of Bree, and helping out the innkeeper can be a good way to earn reputation points. You may be able to help with tasks such as serving drinks, cleaning up after guests, or dealing with troublesome patrons.

    Join the Men of Bree's military: If you are interested in pursuing a more combat-oriented path, you can join the Men of Bree's military and fight against their enemies. This can be a good way to earn reputation points and prove your loyalty to the faction.

    Complete deeds for the Men of Bree: Deeds are special achievements that can help you earn reputation points with various factions in LOTRO. There are several deeds available for the Men of Bree, such as completing a certain number of quests or killing a certain number of enemies. You can find these deeds by talking to the local quest giver or checking the bulletin board in the town square.

    By following these steps and consistently contributing to the Men of Bree's goals and values, you should be able to improve your reputation with the faction over time. Good luck!

    **************

    I guess I could have adjusted the repetition setting to make this answer less redundant, but I was a lazy. That said this answer could have been more accurate but gives serious leads and seems to be enough to get players on tracks!

    I didn't try your other topics. That was just a proof of concept.

    Bought a 20 bucks starterpack on the PS Store, got charged 70 bucks for two different starterpacks. Sony not helping on the refund although the PS Store actually makes it impossible to buy two starter packs AND only one showing up in my 'Owned" section. Yeah, a really great start.....

    Kyleran on yours sincerely 


    'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'

    Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...



    'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless. 

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    I'm pretty sure it was a joke. You can tell by the :P at the end. What they are saying is that this article answers a question no one was asking about a game with relatively few players. In other words, a waste of time and bandwidth.
