Having the freedom to take as long as I need doing the layout was another reason I moved to wordpress. I didn't have to have a work in progress look on my working blog. My only gripe with wordpress is changing the font is a paid feature. So you'll be stuck with whatever font the layout you've chosen has unless you want to spend $30/year.<br /><br />Importing from blogger was super easy. Under Tools, there is an import option, then you chose blogger and follow the instructions. You just wait a few minutes for it to bring over everything. All posts, comments and your tags are imported, though the tags get converted to Categories.Lothiriethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12320905047246144507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199117359502298225.post-25675040809885997192012-08-20T02:08:21.270-07:002012-08-20T02:08:21.270-07:00Wow, that's a surprise!

Even though LotRO is by far my main game, and it probably always will be, I thought I didn't want to restrict myself to only writing about that - I want to room to say whatever I feel like. I'm sure you'll love that sense of freedom!<br /><br />I've also been thinking about moving to Wordpress - the layouts there just look so much more professional! - but the prospect of having to do the whole layout all over again (it was a real pain on blogspot) stops me. It's great that you managed to import all your posts into Wordpress, though, how did you do that? Was it much work?<br /><br />I've added your new blog to my blogroll and everything and will see you over there!Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199117359502298225.post-64166966850136894512012-08-16T19:19:14.564-07:002012-08-16T19:19:14.564-07:00Thank you both. :)

I roll with it and try to re-optimize, but it was so very clear that the move was intended to increase TP sales for tokens. "Induce sales by killing competition."... not so impressed. Combine it with the poor drop rate for the egg hunt, and it made the festival much less fun.<br /><br />I am collecting daily tokens and not using them now, with the intention of having a stockpile for the next festival that uses them.<br /><br />You are good at finding the problems and discussing them without being overly negative. Turbine needs people like you. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764325443772045452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199117359502298225.post-50830632239929199642012-08-07T11:06:12.380-07:002012-08-07T11:06:12.380-07:00Ravanel - I hadn't realised your boyfriend isn...Ravanel - I hadn't realised your boyfriend isn't Dutch? Where is he from, if you don't mind me asking? Also how did he manage to get a job if he couldn't speak Dutch very well? Meh.. I have to do that myself. I'm not looking forward to it. I can tell that those expats that immerse themselves in Dutch learn much faster. A girl in my lessons works in a bike shop and she could speak better than any of us. I can read and listen as well as her, but she has that edge with speaking. I just went on a family holiday and my new family spoke Dutch to me the whole time and I had to try to speak some back. It actually helped quite a lot!<br /><br />And nah, you've not missed much with the horse. I wouldn't say I'm happy with it.. just not as appalled as I thought I'd be! ^^<br /><br />Danania - oops. :P I meant not saying anything bad about Turbine and the state of the game.. which is REALLY hard at the moment given the 'Bind on Acquire festival token move' Turbine just pulled! I worry about being too negative and scathing. I don't want to alienate people (although some blogs do quite well with continual rants :P).Lothiriethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12320905047246144507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199117359502298225.post-7508272903756413482012-08-06T10:05:32.864-07:002012-08-06T10:05:32.864-07:00Lol.

I often am so optimistic that I can't even see problems; whereas, you have a knack of pointing out the gaps tactfully with thought-out intelligent prose. Go you!<br /><br />I nearly had tears in my eyes from laughing when you said "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all", then followed up with "I found one super ugly staff!"<br /><br />I like your horses! I fear that you will lose your scrolls though if your horse exceeds a trot. That bag of scrolls doesn't look secure at all!<br /><br />Always a pleasure!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764325443772045452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199117359502298225.post-9260728275534913912012-08-06T01:09:42.685-07:002012-08-06T01:09:42.685-07:00Great to hear some news from you. :D
An awesome t...Great to hear some news from you. :D<br /><br />An awesome that you're working on your dutch. My boyfriend has done one like that as well, and it really helped. He really got good when he got a dutch job (in a supermarket, even), when he was forced to speak dutch to all the customers.<br /><br />And, haha, that LM horse *is* ugly! I've totally forgotten about the lottery that past weeks. >.< However, on a closer look, I don't think I've missed that much.<br /><br />It's not only the overdone scrolls or the ladybloomers, but the skin colour of the horse itself doesn't fit well with it either.<br /><br />Sorry, I shouldn't mock your horse now, you should of course still be happy with it! ^^<br /><br />I got my own clasp a lot earlier, so I did go for the neck. I think you're totally right about going for the cloak now, though. It's really a minor stats increase either way, and you'll have more fun out of the cloak in the long run. I still think it's a bit of a shame that they made the cloak stats increase so underwhelming, but ah well. At least it looks a *lot* better than the original caster's dragon cloak.<br /><br />Okay, this is almost starting to get as long as a blog post itself, so I'll head off again.

Must have been so horrible I blocked it out. ;)<br /><br />Rav - I'm part of I suppose what could be called the top raiding kin on my server... or at least we're the ones getting most things done first, but we've not yet conquered T2 Saruman let alone the challenge mode. I feel we're starting to have a chance at T2 at least. F&F is another issue given we don't burg stack. But I too wonder if we'll have enough time to complete all the challenges, especially for everyone's mains. Lately I have to go dps rk instead of on my LM.<br /><br />I'm not the fastest of levelers but I think I'm faster than normal, especially now that I duo with my boyfriend. I found a lot of people getting bored once they hit endgame.

It's Enedwaith-->OD and RoI-->ToO all over again...<br /><br />The most annoying thing about it is that I really could use some more time on ToO T2 as well. There's still challenges to complete there, and I'm supposed to be in one of the main raiding kins of my server... It will be less attractive to continue in ToO once RoR has hit and even though I'm a *really* slow leveler, even I got pretty bored when hitting 'end game' in RoI. <br /><br />They should really stop these ridiculous things and give us proper expansions with worthwhile end-game content, as they used to do.Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199117359502298225.post-116581635363389832012-06-06T12:58:33.109-07:002012-06-06T12:58:33.109-07:00You mean "Hit level cap in a couple of weeks ...You mean "Hit level cap in a couple of weeks and then run School and Library at 85" ;D<br /><br />(sorry, couldn't resist!)<br /><br />But yeah I agree with what you wrote, one would think new instances should be the staple of any expansion.
