Do you need to maybe clear your browser cache? The page loads on my end, too...

was a 2020 planner.

Firefox just gave a blank page. Edge (which I never use) gave the same error message.

Re: Lord of the Rings Online going Free to Play!
I'm sorry it isn't working for you.
Blah. This is where I really wish I had a bit better understanding of computers.
A while back I was unable to log into my online bank account from my home computer, but I could from work. The home computer tries made it seem like it was the website that was unavailable, but I could log in just fine from a different computer. It was very frustrating, and I don't remember exactly what the fix was now, I was thinking it was browser cache but I could be mis-remembering because, as noted earlier, I don't always have the best understanding of computers.

Re: Lord of the Rings Online going Free to Play!
I tried to do the introductory quests. I got stuck on where I had to warn three people about an upcoming invasion. I warned two of them, and then spent far too much time wandering around trying to find the third one. Finally I decided to do an internet search to see if anyone had posted the location of the third person. The moment I switched to another window, the game crashed.
The next time I tried it, I found the third person and was able to proceed. Then I got stuck when I was instructed to go to a certain person to train as an apprentice. I found him but apparently I had no learnable skills and was unable to proceed.
The whole thing seemed kind of pointless, really. I hope the rest of the game is better than that.

Well, the sign-up script worked for me, and I downloaded the game. I haven't installed it. I am still not sure if I can keep it to a reasonable amount of time once I start.
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

I would be happy to create a new character and join you in that Introductory Quest area. That's how it would have to be?

Its a lot more fun when you have company - no surprise there. I really have no interest in playing without elengil.
To give you an example, when we got close to the Brandywine river, elengil took me a bit aside, and showed me the lovely valley on the parapet of the Bridge. Ooh, and we had fun killing wolves in the old forest....

Re: Lord of the Rings Online going Free to Play!
I think you will be surprised. It's really not that addictive. I think I had nothing going on in my life the last time.
And when one or the other friend needs to sign off... good exit point.

I've had the 'game crash when I switch windows' problem, and it seems to self-resolve after a few times, or perhaps when I restart (I've never paid close enough attention), though it is quite frustrating when it does happen.

Re: Lord of the Rings Online going Free to Play!
Hey! Today it downloaded! I guess perhaps it didn't like my name, or my password. I changed both, and now it works! I'm Laureannanarya, which oddly enough, hadn't been taken yet.
I downloaded the manual and will take a look, as soon as I'm done with the webinar I'm currently watching. It's on co-dependency. Now they are talking about co-dependency and the workplace, and being always the one giving while others are taking. Not me, nope....

How's it going, narya?
elengil: help! I'm in the Old Forest and need to find old man willow and do things. And I died in the required solo instance just before getting this quest. And it was suggested that "I find friends" in this quest to do it! Better to do it together!

Re: Lord of the Rings Online going Free to Play!
Maybe I can join you. I have a commitment Saturday morning, but otherwise I'm available. Or do you want a complete n00b around?

Re: Lord of the Rings Online going Free to Play!
Yes, yes. Please!
Are you done with the Introductory quest? Can you get done with that today? It’s boring, but we have to get through it. What race did you choose to be?
Then elengil & I can join you where you are. Do stuff with you and level you up quickly. .
Then the fun part will start.
