Not enough time spent gaming or too much?

Between work, illness and Lord of the Rings Online I've not had time to blog much at all.

LotRO has captured me finally. I'll be joining a lot of prominent beta guilds in open beta on Ellendimir server. Game needs a little more polish which I hope it should get before release in about a month. It is pretty well ready and the end of closed beta events are a blast right now.

Oh, and 255 people in PvP is still too many in any game. I had fun stress testing the PvP zone which didn't crash even though the few NPCs in the zone took naps.

Back to Middle-Earth

Rather than going back to AO where I couldn't enjoy my dead-end character or the dwindling community I decided to go back to LotRO.

I'm enjoying it again, a lot of good changes have been made in beta and the gameplay is solid. I think the make or break point for me will be community though. Does this game have enough of it? Can I find a decent and solid "Kinship" (Guild/Clan/Org) before beta is over?

Lets see WHO middle-earth is made of.
