[...] and Spinks are both talking about cloaks; honestly, the post from Spinks was the only time I’ve felt remotely curious or jealous of [...]

It’s not just the girls; I hate when a 65+ WoW character stumbles out of Outlands looking like he’s been trapped in a tumble drier for hours. It’s seriously enough to make me want to flee back to City of Heroes. Or, it seems, LotRO.

[...] See Spinks on StarCraft 2 (Zubon: “WTB LAN”), tank gear (Spinks: “STFU”), cosmetic gear (I still want it as CoX unlocks rather than as inventory items), and a news summary post with [...]

I’ve always thought LotRO was the prettiest MMO I’ve ever played. I recently got back into it and started new characters (and am this time actually having fun since I’m not playing with / waiting on people I know) and I still believe this to be a fact.

Games like Aion can be flashy and have nice graphics, but LotRO is by far the prettiest MMO, IMO. I feel immersed every time I log in whether it be by the towns or the sprawling landscapes. Makes it a very nice getaway where I don’t even mind doing things like fishing. The music is very relaxing too.

It has been quite a girly week here, what with the cute slimes, fashion collectibles, and tanks who get upset when people whine at them. Yup. We’re in ur games.

i wonder why ddo doesn’t really do this; currently cant show cloaks and the only real special thing is the hair dyes. I’m waiting for the armor dye

I dipped into Lotro again because they gave me a free welcome back week. I must admit it is a gorgeous game now, much improved.

I made a new character and one of the starter quests gave me 3 pots of dye. I dyed my hat, cloak and coat mauve. I adore the look and really enjoyed playing dress-up.

I’m not normally interested in gameplay that doesn’t involve shooting, stabbing, blowing things up or spreadsheets so I guess it shows how well Lotro does this that even a fashion philistine like me gets sucked in.

I love cosmetic features too. I was only too happy to die my entire gear pink in Warhammer.
I didnt’ realize this exsisted in LoTR. I will definately be downloading the game now, just for the clothes.

“But more importantly, it matches the rest of my gear perfectly.”

Oh, that sounds marvelous – I love the idea of being able to have a nice looking outfit while still having my “real” clothes underneath. Like you say about WoW – all raiders look the same and it is sooo boring!
