One Shots: Auld lang syne
While we're not entirely certain of the wisdom of giving Hobbits things that can explode, it would appear that the group that formed during Shawn's Choose My Adventure trek through Lord of the Rings Online is still out there and doing well. Capeo decided to snag a screenshot and let us know how their merry little bunch rang in the new year. He writes in: It was New Year's Eve in the Shire and a few of the Massive Hobbits gathered for fireworks down the Hill from the Party Tree. As you can see from [this] shot, safety was maybe farther from our minds than it should have been. (We're still around and having great adventures in Moria and Mirkwood. *waves to Gibbi*) For some, it's all solo. For others, it's all about their group. Some others prefer a bit of both! We'd love to see screens of your favorite MMO, if you'd like to send them to us. Just email them to oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, the name of the game, and a quick description. We'll do the rest. %Gallery-9798%
Choose my Adventure: Et tu, Bone Man?
Join me as I brave my way through lands unknown in an adventure dictated entirely by you, the Massively readers! Vote for everything from game played to character creation to ultimate goal and watch it unfold in a series of journals and galleries here on the site. Then, as the ultimate goal is reached, we'll do it all over again in a new game!Now that the kinship has been formed and we have a regular group going for the Choose my Adventure: LotRO project, we're really starting to find our rhythm. As was voted upon last week, the Massive Hobbits completely dominated Book 1 and are working their way to Book 2 eligibility. These first few Epic Book questlines are made so a group can't plow through them at an early stage in the game, but at the rate we're going, it shouldn't be much longer. We also made our way through some southern Barrow Downs quests, including one that I seem to remember being much more difficult before the recent changes to the area.So for this week, there's a whole new set of choices for our adventurous hobbits, as well as an amazing video of our adventures through Book 1.11. Throw us a vote to determine what we do next and read along for my (and Gibbi the Hobbit's) impressions of the latest adventures.
