Dual Boxing Experiment

Dual Box ExperimentSo the other Day I decided to try out Dual Boxing in LOTRO.  After some trial and error I was able to get it working using the Lavish Software currently I am only running 2 accounts but I believe you can go as high as 5.  You may ask why would you want to dual box?  Well there are quite a few answers to this question but my answer is mostly to make it a different gaming experience.  I am sure you have seen the videos on you tube of the guy running 5 RKs or Hunters with every key mapped so all 5 characters do the same moves at the same time.  I have taken the approach of doing classes to support each other my first attempt is a Guardian and Rune-keeper combo.  As of right now I am unsure whether this was a good choice or not but I’ll let you know.  So far this has been quite fun although I am only at level 9 on my characters but so far I seem to be doing okay.  I believe this may be the way I play from now one but we shall see I still have some more tweaking to do and a lot of experimenting I’ll post my thoughts and suggestions and answers to any questions you may have about this also thanks for reading and I’ll see you in Middle-earth ~ Bor.

Podcast ideas and suggestions

Goodbye

Hello everyone I just wanted to take a moment to thank those that have helped out with my previous episodes. At this time I would like to ask for more I have post written for all of my episodes through #9 all I am missing is your input. I need any of you that would like to put your opinion out there for others to hear let me know. To anyone interested this is what I am looking for your answers to the Tell the community team thread on the classes. You can submit your answers in writing or email me an MP3 at bor.nimrodel@gmail.com and they will be read on the show, or you can call me on Skype or leave a voicemail at +1(304)534-9BOR (9267) and I’ll play it on the show. If you want to call me on Skype you’ll need to add me to your contacts and let me know what time you are available my Skype ID is bor.nimrodel. I have already completed the show for Captains but if you have thoughts go ahead and share I would love to hear your thoughts. So go to the LOTRO forums and look at the tell the community team thread get your answers together and send them my way. If you have an opinion to add to this discussion I want to hear it. Even if you don’t have a level capped (insert class) it doesn’t matter as long as you feel like sharing. I will also be continuing this into the Monster classes as soon as I find out what questions they are going to be asking. I would also like to get your opinions as to what you would like to hear on the show email me any suggestions you may have. Here are the questions that I would like to cover and do not worry about keeping your answers short I want you to explain why you want the changes you suggest. Just answer the questions you feel comfortable answering and just let me know which class it is for so I can get it in the right episode. So if you love your class and you want to see it improved voice your opinion and help me let everyone know. I also need the information you want me to share i.e. character name, level and server again thank you all very much. Looking forward to hearing from you ~ Theobor

Turtle Raid 10 Hunters and 2 Captains

Today the Lords of the West put together a turtle raid using 10 hunters and 2 captains.  It was a very interesting experience for me having only run the turtle prior with your typical build.  But it was a blast once we got everything worked out I took us about 3:30 to down the beast. I hope to have the video on You Tube as soon as i figure out the playback quality issue.  Until then see you in game ~ Bor

Once again into the breach

I have been play Lord of the Rings Online since the open beta and I find myself moving on to a third Kinship.  When I joined my first Kinship I didn’t really know what to expect or what I would gain or be burdened with.  The reason for this apprehension was that this is my first massively multiplayer online game there for the guild/kinship idea was new to me.  I soon found that it was a very helpful group of experienced players that I learned a great deal from they in fact encouraged me to create my second character we all know what that started.  Unfortunately as things do Peoples lives changed and the kinship weakened and we scattered across the server or disappeared entirely.  With the help of one of my kinmates I found a new Kinship and for nearly 3 years I have been a member.  Now too that has come to an end and now I find myself venturing into another LotRO Kinship probably not for the last time but while I am here I hope that I can complement them as much as I hope they will complement me. In closing I would like to thank any members of the Guardians of the White Tree that my still be on the server for all of the help you graciously bestowed on this noob.  To all the members remaining in the Gallant Few I hope you find what you need to carry on.  Lastly to the Lords of the West I hope to be either a very large or small piece to you group whichever is required at the time. Thanks to anyone that took the time to read this and see you in game.


Land of Alts

If anyone knows a good Kin that might accept a maroon like me that has a major alt problem let me know. of course I am speaking of the Landroval and Brandywine versions of my characters. The good news is I know the game well for I have been playing almost non-stop from the open beta around 3/28/07 I may not be able to help with a raid but I can offer some insight 🙂 Here is a list of my Alts on the servers Bors Alts thanks all.
