Style of Middle-earth

 For sometime now, I have been wanting to do an outfit inspired by each class in the game. As the hunter is one of the most played classes, I thought it was fitting that I started with this class. The main idea and inspiration behind this outfit was green, Rivendell green to be exact, and gold. The grass in the hills of the Hidden Valley is green, and the leaves of the trees are gold, though they are a different shade then the Mallorns found in Caras Galadhon.  With my never ending love of hauberks, this hauberk was chosen, and as it also has gold stitching throughout, it was a good chest/leg piece. The boots and gloves both dyed well, and had lovely gold accents to them, so they complimented the gold in the hauberk.  When I think of the word hunter, I think something hidden, so the large head piece was fitting. It doesn't cover the face like a mask would, but it does cover some features of the face. The shoulders were battle friendly, and I found them q...

No matter what part of Middle-earth I adventure into, there continues to be one place that is my favorite location: Edoras. Edoras happens to be the capitol city of my favorite region of Middle-earth, and it is my opinion that LoTRO did justice to the beauty of the Mark. The robe in this outfit is my absolute favorite robe I've ever come across in-game. The design of it is flawless, and there is nothing I can say other than that it is a simply gorgeous robe. After the robe, I decided to use gold and silver as my colors. I thus chose a lovely silver circlet (though it is not fully a circlet..) and then went on to choose one of the best pair of shoulder guards in game (in my opinion.) I finished off with a incredible and detailed pair of gauntlets, and a pair of simple boots.

The intro... the only time you're under level 95.  Today is a very important day in my time as a LOTRO player. Today is marked as my first day ever testing (and playing) Lord of the Rings Online Beta. So here are my thoughts, comments, and more about LOTRO beta. I started off by creating a "version" of Makaia, at least the Bullroarer version of her. I named her Mak, and this Mak looked almost identical to live Makaia. All in all, the intro and getting into the Eyes & Guard Tavern was fairly simple. The super quick and easy auto-leveling was quite fun, and I had a little too much fun watching myself hit level 95 for the first time, though I know the feeling will be nothing like actually hitting level 95 on live. Meet my first EVER warsteed, Alderi. I'm actually planning on naming my warsteed on live server the same thing.  Acquiring simple things, such as turbine points, mithril, marks & medallions, and even gold, was super easy, and as long as y...
