Hahahaha lol.. sadly I don't have a lot of female friends (or friends).. I am somewhat of a loner and like to keep things to myself. No need to envy him btw, he paid for it, just pinjam my debit card only.. You think I belanja him meh?  laugh.gif

Oh, I already subscribed 1 month (after my credit card got a slight mistake) and had to call turbine again (I cringe for my phone bill next month  cry.gif ) .. AND I found a site to buy Lord Of The Ring Online : Mines of Moria complete set , digital key with 1 month free subscription==> MMOXE

It was kind of a gamble, not sure if I would get it or conned but it's only 14.99USD (~ MYR 47), so.. no harm trying. It takes 3 days for the order and transaction to clear up (which crossed with the lotro 1 mth subscription and made me had to call turbine again after putting more money into my debit card  doh.gif  ) .. but I got the LOTRO : MOM expansion and used it on bf's acc (test on him 1st since his toons higher lvl than mine) and succeded. So, that website can be trusted as far as buying LOTRO CDKEY. There was a bit of a panic when I didn't receive the cd key in my email but after chatting to the live help on mmoxe website, they resend the cd key and voila. Now I ordered another LOTRO : MOM for myself  thumbup.gif

not envy who pay.. it's envy he has a gf who play game with him smile.gif hehe.. i dont mind paying for my gf either.. IF she willing to play.. tongue.gif but that is just a dream >.<

Hmm? buy credit? You mean TP? Well.. granted using tp is easier but you have to grind deeds and even some areas you still need to buy quest pack... Compare and calculate buying with TP vs getting a 1 mth subscribe.. 1 mth is cheaper, you get to be Premium after VIP wears off, get 1 more character slot open, 5 bag slots, Traits opened (till whichever we have opened and equipped when vip runs out), 5 trade slot in AH, gold cap lifted.. etc etc and it's across characters in the account. Whereas the tp bought are only on 1 toon and I cringed to calculate how much TP you need to open all that  shocking.gif

Oh yeah, you get free 500 TP when you become VIP too. That's a lot of saving on TP (which can be used to buy quest packs when VIP runs out) ..

Hmm well.. for now I'll hold off subscribing, I let my bf's account get VIP 1st (since most of his characters are already 33+, and ran out of free content). I'd wait till my main character is lvl 33, then I'd subscribe (hehe more trait slot woohoooo).. Don't get me wrong, it's not that we only expect to get everything from VIP status but we're trying to minimize the usage of TP and maximize the freebies we get from VIP status. This way, TP can be used for more important and expensive things such as quest & content packs later on.  icon_rolleyes.gif

P/S: Does my long and exaggerated explanation makes sense?   rclxub.gif

i do agree getting 1 month sub is cheaper compare buying tp to unlock stuff ingame, but do note that you have to continue to sub everymonth to main the vip status, you won't get 5 bag,extra char slot, trails open, gold limit will become 5(rest of your gold will be lock as well) after your vip status expired

but buying tp and unlock stuff will be permanent even if ur at premium status.

Nope nope, you're wrong there brows.gif .. It was proven when my bf's acc status dropped to "Premium" when the credit card got a bit of a problem(fixed it after I put in some money into the debit card).

As premium (after VIP ran out)..these stays..
5 bag slot stays
unlocked trait slot stays (unlocked according to level)
character slot extra 1 (from 2 on free account to 3)
Auction House post 5 slots
Gold cap is only 5G (this one is as you say)

That so far as I remember. Which is why subscribing 1 month is a lot cheaper compare to only buy with TP. You have to remember that all the mentioned above is across all characters whereas when you buy with TP, the bag, the trait slots, etc are per character. Lets do the math..

Assume your char is at lvl 40. You have 9 purchasable trait slots.

1month subscription 14.99USD + get 500 TP free

TP for all the above: ( This is w/o the gold limit break since there are no 2 to 5 Gold limit break, only 2 to unlimited)

bag (495TP x 2) + trait slot (95x9) + char slot (595x1) + Auction post, 5 slot (495) = 2935 TP

Close to the TP amount needed is 2500 TP for 29.50USD, you still short of 450 TP.

So, my reasoning..

14.99USD (is equal to 2935TP x 3-assuming all char lvl 40 + 500TP free) VS 29.50USD (still short 450TP, and only on 1 character) WHICH IS CHEAPER? brows.gif icon_idea.gif

Ahaha.. I'm one of the weird ones I guess.. been playing MMO since Hellbreath in 2000(can't remember exact year).. Funny thing is, I was the one that invite my bf to play MMO with me ..

Then again, can you endure your gf demands in online game? whistling.gif (get more money, grind stuff, help level, QQ about the game, get jealous when level too far apart tongue.gif .. etc etc etc) rclxm9.gif laugh.gif

here the vip to premium info i found, read post 4

http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.php?351...828#post4913828

QUOTE
All this only apply to characters that log in during the time you are VIP. After downgraging to Premium, any new or un-played characters will have every restrictions of Premium (gold cap, 3 bags, etc...)
so does it mean that if you havent play your char for something then the stuff you unlock from vip will be locked when ur currently at premium status?

Obviously I guess, if you didn't log in your character during vip.. should log in your character then brows.gif

1 month is quite some time, shouldn't be a problem to log in your alts hmm.gif

Well.. it's only lvl 9.. you can delete and make a new character if you want.. and titles are not really that important hmm.gif .. just as airwind pointed out.... Just for bragging and personal satisfaction


P/S: My bf's character died due to "Death to Misadventure" before the "the Undying" title doh.gif laugh.gif .. he has made 3 character and all never passed the level 20 survival title .. Don't have to worry much (unless you want the title..)

if you have all day to play, i have to agree that subbing for a month is a better choice.... you could have gone all the way to 65 in one month...

this game map is so huge......

and also one thing to remember , for those intending to buy TP or quest pack or anything on lotro store.... do that when they are on offer... like the recent one where you get 6900TP for 49.99 (double bonus TP) , and few quest packs were on 75% off...

it's free to play but with lotro store, where you can unlock certain features of the game that are not accessible to free player . for example free player are limited to 2 characters, currency cap of 2 gold, and limited to 3 maps etc etc.

you can play the game without paying a single cent, by grinding the turbine point used to make purchase in lotro store. you can do that by creating character and then complete deeds that award turbine points on the 3 free maps, rinse and repeat. however if you do that you account will stay as "free" . to upgrade it to the status "premium', just buy a small amount of TP, which can be bought via phone credit deduction.

the differences between account status can be viewed here :
