As much as it annoys me, I have to agree with Splay, Cord needs to stick to DDO ( a game he knows ) and SSG should find someone to do the CM for Lotro that has actually been playing it for a long time.
Lotro forums has become a SJW infested place.
TBH, the DDO players, while a few are assholes, has handled this downtime with more grace than the Lotro players.
I've been playing ESO and RIFT more often because of this downtime ( run for freedom, hamsters).
