My main character in LOTRO, Civrot the Warden, is probably a lot paler now than he used to be. Except for a short jaunt to the front door of the Mines of Moria, I’ve not actually stepped outside Moria in quite a while, and I find myself feeling rather dreary at the prospect of staying here for a long while.

Travel times are long, locations are sometimes confusing, and the enemy density is quite high, though I’ve heard that’s already been tweaked down a notch.

Sure, there’s a sense of wonder that comes over me when I imagine the place being constructed, but I miss the sunlight.

Here’s to hoping i reach the end of the Moria epic chain soon enough. /salute
