Hehe, I like to surround myself with people who haven't obtained this title. It really says nothing about the player other than they were very careful not to die during the first 20 levels.
Yeah I would agree being undying just means you were really careful. I died a lot in the first 20 levels with my latest alt. Repair costs are low (or 0) and you're learning your class and testing its limits.
During my time playing LotRO, the folks who had the titles for not dying were the ones that would desert the group during a fight that seemed to be going badly. Not all of them were like that, but most seemed to be.
They didn't seem to be more careful than everyone else, they just seemed to be willing to let the rest of the group get defeated (since there is no death in LotRO), by running in the middle of a tough fight.
I didnt get the undying title until my 5th character....By then you know which quests to avoid and you can play it a little safer.......Really the title is a little deceiving because you can do easy quests up to 20...... This doesnt make those players better than the ones attempting to do the barrows instance in their teens or chapter 1.11 in their low teens........
When I play, I like to surround myself with the dedicated folks who made it to undying, simple pole from this mmorpg.com community how many are Undying ?
I don't think this speaks much to a players ability as I've played since December and have had friends who thought I played multiple classes so well I was a gm but have only been able to get 2 of 12 avatars to level 20 without dying.
There are just too many variables to consider to make that tag such as in game knowledge of mobs you'll face on quests, which varies greatly random elie mobs that do wander around a few places that a lowbie may happen upon and groups you may join. Another thing is a person who creates an alt in a kin who has a high level friend may be able to easily achieve this tag which I do know of some to have done.
Though it may be a cute little tag in all it certainly doesn't show much about a particular players ability only ones desire to achieve that tag I assure you.
but yeah, to call this game Fantastic is like calling Twilight the Godfather of vampire movies....

If you're undying you are also unraiding. Nuff said.

Isn't the undying title achieved at level 20?

I always die at lvl 7 (yea I suck...) so I will never come close to the title and I dont care.

Got undying on my hunter! First char ever! Wasn't hard at all just long (i stayed in the Shire until level 17)!

The first 3 toons I leveled to 20 and higher are all undying (I was in beta, so I know how-to, hehe).
For my other 2 toons I took it easy and didn't skip the more dangerous quests. No surprise I died before reaching level 20.
Getting to undying is easy if you know the low level game well and restrain yourself to "safe" quests. Which is a bit pointless.
Even though I got the title on 3 toons, I never have used it, because somehow I would feel ashamed...
Undying on all 5 of my characters. But it only let me vote once.

Undying whats the purpose? It doesn't impress me even a miniscule amount. When you level up the real titles worth displaying arrive.
