Now over that official forums after a day of threads and a large post it was cleaned out and threats of bannings were given for any further talk.

Now Tolero post this response to the quest details above:

Nothing new needs said, the issue that got people in the hot water is already listed in the above.

But who knows what the infraction was.  There was mention of a 2 person guild getting banned.  In the Update 5 Patch 1 notes they mentioned they have reduced or limited the spawn of enemies in the Demon Quest raid.

Now I can't see anything wrong with sitting at a spawn point in game and killing all day long to gain renown reward.  If those at Turbine didn't have the forethought to test their own code and game mechanics.  Then what are the players to do?  If the game works as intended, and it was like this for years prior.  With no public word, banning players for such actions is pathetic.

They have a hard time keeping the Known Issues thread complete and still don't have a listing that any Guild Vendor items [Arcane/Devine] are not working.  For a 24/7 365 days a year MMO, they are still stuck in the Mon-Fri 9-5 mindset.

Hi all!

I'm a free player in DDO and I read a topic in DDO official forum, commented by Rumbaar (probably a member of your guild since there was a link to this forum in his signature) that there was an alternative in order to create a guild without wasting TP points.

The trick consists only in asking for a VIP to create a guild and order you as his sucessor, and than he quits the guild, making you the guild owner.

Well, I would like help with that. My player's name in Khyber is Amazona. If is there a VIP willing to help me with that, I would be very grateful. I imagine there would be no problem in temporarilly leaving the guild you are in to do this favor and than come back, so all it would cost is good will.

So you can also mail me if you want to schedule a meeting in game: lixosdanet@bol.com.br

Well it seems a new parallel MxO emu project is out there and very active.  It's 'live' and I've been able to jack in and walk around.  It was surreal to be in the Matrix once again.  As it's a lot of hacks at the moment it's very much an ALPHA state.

But give it a look and see what you think.  Help out and test out if you can

They also have a large part of the SOE forums archived there.

Hmm.. free eh?  I kinda got bored of LOTRO back in the day but considering it wouldn't cost anything and I could still use my old characters I may just be tempted back in at some point to check it out. 

Is anyone even active in LOTRO still?

i'm on Tenesses too, i think.

first thing i do in every MMO is remap the keyboard.  they're nearly all set up for wasd, which i think is silly.  my hands stay on the home row keys, for typing purposed.  so i remap to esdf.  also, this allows your pinky to hit a whole other row of keys, opening up command mapping possibilites.  and i don't have to shift my left hand to type.
