LOTRO Reporter Podcast show

Summary: The Three Amigo's are back again. Chris, Layanor, and Cari are back from PAX, Real Life, and the plague. We get pretty silly and there may be a search for pants. Listen now: What We Did in Game  Layanor- Nothing but the moors! Going for rank 11. Only need 52,293 renown to rank up. Cari - I was out of town most of last week, and had visitors until Tuesday morning. I gave my Mum a tour of LOTRO. It took forever even with quick travel to get from the Shire to Isenguard. I picked up Lottery winnings and paid housing maintenance. Chris - Hytbold dailies Played on my hunter for a little while. Super busy with day job stuff and the whole plague thing.

CSTM has their festival guide up. http://casualstrolltomordor.com/2013/04/lotro-6th-anniversary-festival-guide/ Did You Know This weeks did you know is about multiboxing. This is when you open up more than one client with multiple accounts to do something. In the past you had to go into some setting in my documents and change some options. You also had to copy your entire client over to a new location. You do not need to do any of this anymore. Turbine now allows you to just click the client again and you can run multiple games of LOTRO all the same time. You will need a decent computer to run more than one game. I have never done more than three clients at once. With multiple clients open, you can do a lot of things. You can have alts you made join a kin incase it is about to get disbanded by members who have left. You can have a alt follow you around in group for extra loot. I use a free account character to grind for lootbox keys right now. Cause i'm cheap and do not want to pay for keys!

My Shire Houses Mini Oak timber framed Shire houses From Tarpilion: In my opinion about the recent exploiting and bans, they don't really have the right to ban.
