Thanks, the pictures in the link is awesome! Just had my first drink from a sinister beer-keg at someone’s house recently. There is something about the feel of lotro that goes so very well with sneaky tentacle pools and beer-kegs stealing your pants.

It is a drop from killing The Watcher. I have a picture of it in action here!

I would be grateful to be added to your gamer circle.

Also, where did you get the tentacle thing for your Lotro garden? How large is it? My inquiring hobbit alter ego wants to know

I am completely with you on the hotel room thing! And I’m an addon nut with WoW – and did I mention my fishing outfit?

I do miss the option of cosmetic clothing in WoW, but there are a few options at least if you take the time to look.

Would love to be added to your gamer circle.

I finagled an invite from an old friend this afternoon, so just being added to a circle would be great…

One of the first things I do with any game is look at the control scheme… and change it if I can to something I prefer. Usually that means altering the camera controls and maybe a few other keys/buttons.

It’s not so much ownership as it is ease of use, though. And yet, one of the first things I do with a new sketchbook is put my name in it, just in case it gets lost. I think I definitely have an itch to claim space (I like my bubble), but it’s more about my own comfort, less about any sort of social ramification.

i wish blogs had ui’s like warhammer online/mmo’s. Instead of having drab/basic templates or needing to know detailed html coding, we could drag and drop everything we want

I will never ever ever get bored of the tentacle pool in the garden of my LOTRO house

One of the biggest draws of LotRO for me was the housing. While my buddy made fun of me for it, we all eventually formed a guild and got our own guild house which we decorated with the spoils of our conquests. I spent a lot of time doing the seasonal events to get the decoration items, crafted plenty as well, and LOVED that bosses dropped trophies to display (I think that would be a great compromise in WoW; boss drop cosmetic gear; it would function like a glyph or enchant that changes the appearance of something but wouldn’t fill the slot or change the stats). So I definitely understand that compulsion. However, I am offended by your baseless discrimination omitting me from your group. My wife, though, will probably be contacting you (;

Great post!
