traits slot unlocking only affect that particular character only, not all characters in the account associated with that character. so, if you have 5 characters in an account , you'll have to unlock each trait slot that need to be unlocked for each character .

this is however only applied to f2p and premium players only. if you are subscriber, no need to unlock, as they are unlocked when you reach a certain level at the time of your subscription. if however by the time your subscription ended, and you still haven't unlock a particular slot, that slot become locked until you unlock it using TP, or become subscriber again.

sounds confusing eh...lol... i hope not....

Sorry, my bad - it's 5 slots. I forgot I opened up 5 more slots for my account.

As for traits and swift travel - I'm confused too. I believe traits and bags stay permanently unlocked even after your subscription ends. You just have to log-in into all your toons while being a VIP. My RK was created during VIP time but I levelled him only after I was premium. I didn't have to unlock any trait slot when I dropped down to premium. Swift travel -- I'm too confused to answer that properly. But I do know that I have no problem using swift travel for all my lvl 65 toons after I became a premium player. I suspect I unlocked all of them during my time as VIP through my first toon. Perhaps swift travel access is account based, rather than toon based.

i think you are right here .

source Q & A

Hi guys, old player planning to restart

Which server are you guys currently on?

I was previously on Elendilmir.

I'm on Elendilmir. Continued where I left off recently after months of break. Currently grinding skirmish mark doing solo skirmish lvl 65 most of the time.

One thing I notice currently hard to find tank when want to to high level instance. probably they are taking a time out b4 rise of isengard come out.

Yes, understood. Its a MMO trend where people will go hiatus and come back when an expansion is released.

Hmm tanks havent played one but I have a warden.

I'm in Elendilmir too. Check post 818 for my toons.

Have a 65 guard too Usually running dungeons like Hall of Crafting, Grand Stairs, Northcotton Farm, Stoneheight and Sammath Gul.

Ok thanks. Any active kinship running?

ouch Touche!

Anyway...

the biggest Oceanic kin is Aurora Australis (sp?) if I'm not mistaken.
There is also EDMW - lots of Singaporeans there, but dunno how active are they now.

Maybe you can try applying to them.

Ah yes, I heard of Aurora Australis way back when I first started LOTRO.

Btw, anyone heard of a kinship named "Casual Order"?

Haven't seen anyone from Casual Order in awhile now. Maybe they folded.

i think many from Casual Order moved to EDMW. I'm currently In Aurora Australis. been in EDMW, but not seen much activity there. probably everyone is busy doing the dailies in Enedwaith, and the new instances like NCF or Stoneheight.

ok.. getting a hang of the game already.. especially crafting.. i should have gone with explorer.. i went with arms.. currently having difficulty getting some other material. guess i need to use another toon for that..

anyway guys, for the legendary isengard pack which cost, if i were to purchase it, it will unlock all current quest pack, but i will still need the MoM and SoM expansion packs to access Moria and Mirkwood right?

excerpt from a forum Q & A :

- You gain full and permanent access (regardless of subscription) to the quests and deeds in the zones in the Isengard expansion

Get the Legendary ones for the Full Monty..

About your crafting needs.. what do u want? I maybe able to provide you with ore since i'm an explorer.. and the guy that I usually dump my ore to is currently inactive right now.. contact me in game later..

@azizul1975 > any requirements to be in Aurora Australis? I'm still without kin

Hmm which class is most in demand now?

I was a LM back then because not many were playing them.

Cappy. There's always demand for a healer and a tank. A lot LFFs on GLFF are usually looking for those. Though I have been in a few PUGs where we just couldn't get a dps

you'll have to apply through their forum, or you can contact one of their officer on how to join, who basically will ask you to apply through forum as well, but at least they get informed in advanced.. lol.

@gaeryn

currently i see, as most of the time, tank are in real demand... i mean guardian. warden can tank but i rarely see good warden tank.

The crafting system is deliberately designed that there will be certain crafted items that require components from another discipline. You can look me up if you need certain components made - I just require the materials to make them. I have a Supreme Master Weaponsmith, Scholar (guild), Cook, Farmer, Woodworker (guild), Prospector, Forester, Jeweller (guild) as well as a Grandmaster Tailor. Send me a PM ingame if you need a bit of help.
