A likely story 
LOTRO free to play going ahead.
- Thread starter Sleepery
- Start date
The level cap is getting further and further away from me 
I wonder if this means creeps will be starting at level 70. PvP as a freep is getting further and further away too

That's just the Moria effect The damn place goes on forever, and you just feel like you're never going to get out. I have 3 characters in the early 50's now because I just couldn't take any more Moria and levelled an alt.

Two of my toons are 55 and the Lorien stuff was still red to me if I remember correctly. I might switch back to minstrel for a bit and see if I can push it to 56 to see if they go orange.
Just logged in now, but it was really slow, servers are probably getting hammered.
Loremaster is due for a revamp too, very interested to see what they're going to do with it.
LOTRO is a lot more demanding, I managed WoW just fine on an 5 year old dell notebook, but lotro brought it to its knees with everything on low.
You could give it a try, but I wouldn't hold out much hope.

I found tailoring one of the easier ones to level actually. Hides just build up without even having to try, since half the stuff you kill drops them, whereas with the other professions you have to go out harvesting nodes.
If you wear med or light armour, you can craft better than quest rewards before you hit level 10, and it remains consistently better than other available armours right through the game.
Plus you get cloaks, captain armaments and banners and cosmetic stuff, which can be a real money maker if you manage to pick up a rare cosmetic recipe.

I've been on all night 
Drunkenmaster, seriously, why are you still playing? Your last dozen posts at the very least have been rants about how easy the game has become, how it's not a shadow of its former self, how they've butchered the game etc. We get it, move on
I can't check that kind of thing unfortunately, I don't see those for sale since I'm a lifer.
Hunters have a load of escape tools, but you don't get a lot of them till later on unfortunately
I think myself and Amdeal are the only ones over 50 playing regularly, and I haven't been on all week because of exams. We had a load of joiners when the f2p went live, but I'm not sure how many are going to stick around.
Just make sure you're not downloading the US version 
Crafting is very definitely worthwhile, right from the start. If you put any effort into it at all you can be crafting armour that's superior to what you'd get from quests at any given level.
Scholar is the only profession that's slow to get going, but it has a lot of useful stuff later on - potions, dyes, weapon oil for hunters and wardens. Jewellers can also craft runekeeper stones and edellharn (sp?) tokens, which reduce your dread after a death.

Please tell me Tobermory's a hobbit
Yeah, that's not going to last long at all, even if you're not on Laurelin
As is the new mini-dungeon they put in when they revamped the zone a few months back. It's easy to miss, but there's an entrance in ost cyrin and to the right of the road as you head towards ost guruth.
