thingol_v@ymail.com: well, you know, life and all
thingol_v@ymail.com: i stopped being active in the guilda number of years ago, just before college i think

AriehnV: what brought you back then? I am just curious and really happy to see you
thingol_v@ymail.com: well
thingol_v@ymail.com: i saw that d3 was coming up and it brought back fond memories of all my gaming days
Eonwe Valar: :}
thingol_v@ymail.com: with the guild
thingol_v@ymail.com: i dont play wow or sc2 or anything else really. i played poor mans wow (runescape) for almost 5 1/2 years
Eonwe Valar: hehe
Eonwe Valar: Alot of us are in LotRO, and that's free to play, if you'd like to give that a go.
thingol_v@ymail.com: jagex (the makers of runescape) made some poor decisions with the game and i left
Eonwe Valar: Sorry to hear that.
Glorfindel VG has entered the room.
thingol_v@ymail.com: if its an online game my machine might handle it...
Eonwe Valar: Aye, it's an MMO.
AriehnV: Aiya Glorfindel :-)
thingol_v@ymail.com: hiya glorfindel
Glorfindel VG: Aiya :-)
thingol_v@ymail.com: right now ive got an old core 2 duo, 2 gigs of ram and no video card to speak of :-) [Note: LotRO needs a strong video card.]
Eonwe Valar: hehe
Eonwe Valar: If you're interested, www.lotro.com should get you there.
ArPharazonV: Sounds like my current pc. Still enough for WoW on low/fair settings though!
thingol_v@ymail.com: i'll give it a peek
Eonwe Valar: You might want to e-mail Varda, let her know about your
new e-mail, and that you're still interested in being a member.
Membership page shows you've been out of contact for a while.
AriehnV: yes and we would be very happy to have you back up and running :-D
thingol_v@ymail.com: haha, ok
Eonwe Valar: OK, now that we got Thingol into the channel, everyone
here is in time for the meeting, hehe. :} We'll do it quick since we're
getting such a late start.
AriehnV: I ve got Helm
(if you remember him) looking in a slightly more interesting game than
wow at the moment , and he mentioned that he might look into either
LotRo or ToR
AriehnV: he is a bit bored with WoW at the moment (same as I , but i keep playing for the Lorekeepers sake)
Eonwe Valar: hehe
AriehnV: but once he is back into gaming i am sure he ll have a look
AriehnV: and i ll try to get him in touch wherever we might meet if anywhere
AriehnV: if thats ok with you Eonwe :-)
Eonwe Valar: It'd be great to get a chance to actually meet Helm in a game :}
AriehnV: nice thing on ToR is that you can choose in which area you want to play, Europe or US without having to buy two clients
Eonwe Valar: That's good.
AriehnV: indeed
Eonwe Valar: OK, let's do the meeting :}

Eonwe Valar: Elen Sila Lumenn Omentielvo!
Eonwe Valar: Membership:
Eonwe Valar: See above for plenty of it :}
Eonwe Valar: Varda and Fangorn are back from visiting Eowyn, but they, Elwing, and others are out for the night.
Eonwe Valar: Any other Membership news?
ArPharazonV: Well, I suppose a death in the family counts as member news.
AriehnV: my condolations :-(, and sorry to hear that
Eonwe Valar: Aye, it does. Sorry to hear.
AriehnV: (hugs Phara)
ArPharazonV: My grandmother died friday after several years of having
several months to live, so it was expected, and we were happy she
survived this long still.
ArPharazonV: And thanks.
thingol_v@ymail.com: i'm sorry for your loss, i've also recently had a close family member pass away.
Glorfindel VG: Several years longer than she was expected? She must have been very strong
ArPharazonV: And about a week and a half ago it suddenly became worse. But she went peacefully, because of sedatives etc.
ArPharazonV: And yeah, quite, but you never know with cancer. It can stagnate for some years and then flare up again.
ArPharazonV: We made the most of it, and it's better this way than
several months of chemo and suffering, I think. So we've made our
peace, though of course it's still very sad.
ArPharazonV: So yeah, not much more to say about it. Just felt I had to get it out there. Thanks for all the condolences :-)
thingol_v@ymail.com has left the room.
ArPharazonV: Thingol had to go, or accidentally pressed escape?
Eonwe Valar: It's good she didn't suffer long at least. My condolesnces for Thingol's loss as well.
Eonwe Valar: I'm not sure.
Eonwe Valar: OK, now I am, he accidentally hit escape ;}
thingol_v@ymail.com has entered the room.
Eonwe Valar: WB :}
ArPharazonV: And my condolences to you too, Thingol!
thingol_v@ymail.com: sorry

thingol_v@ymail.com: i beat a custom civ4 on prince lvl:-)
Eonwe Valar: :}
thingol_v@ymail.com: err custom map, lol
AriehnV: Eonwe? do you think its possible to organise a Heregrod run? [Note: 24-man LotRO raid with several wings and an end boss undead dragon.]
galdorandwe: You could probably do one tonight...lots of people on right now.
galdorandwe: In general, character class quests for up and coming toons get precedent.
Eonwe Valar: I'd bring that up in the LotRO runs section of the forum,
or as Galdor said you could try tonight if you have time. I don't
usually do too much scheduling of stuff myself in LotRO, being
preoccupied with WoW.
AriehnV: oki ii ll have a peek in after the meeting and ask :-)
AriehnV: if no succes i ll post on the forum
galdorandwe: I know that Nimrodel and I are both interesed in unlocking
the last boss for a couple of our toons because at lvl 75 some nice
teal items drop.
AriehnV: i ve seen Annatar aka Sauron a few times in The Old Republic :-)
AriehnV: we havent been able to play together yet since my consular is still a bit small at level 30
AriehnV: and he has his knight maxed at 50 or is close to it
Eonwe Valar: Already? He's really been busy. [Note: Sauron's been playing hard every chance he gets. Look out!]
AriehnV: yeah , the game mechanics make it really quick to level without making it feel to easy
AriehnV: *too easy"
Eonwe Valar: Last chance to whisper me a Tolkien Topic for discussion.

Glorfindel VG: valinor
ArPharazonV: Valinor
