Here are some of my screenshots from March 25 where we were having a little player organized party to celebrate the end of beta.

Getting the Party Started

"They have begun to arrive."

A shot without the UI

CONGA!!

This was actually my second line, shorter than the first and had no devs in it

da, da, da, da, da...DA!

This guy was good.

These shots are from March 26 during "The Event"

Fazi is very sad.

Maybe some music will help

Dwalin wasn't particularly comforting...

Street performers in Bree

We're going to party like it is TA 3021!

When the moon hits your eye...

Fazi has a groupie

Hello Rivendell!

Looks like a fun time has been had by all.

...and fun continuing to be had.

Check my level...Issith, eat your heart out!

MOMMY!

Letting others catch the worst bits of the fighting

Fazi moving up to the line of scrimmage

Fazi in the scrum

Now you see him...

...now you don't...cheater

There he is!

Have to take a rest.

Toe to toe!

Running away, eh?

Git 'him, Fazi, Git 'im!!

Victory

Told ya I could take him

Gandalf and Elrond congratulate me on my victory.

Bilbo likes my music

Farewell to Rivendell.

Good-bye Bree.

Nasty dev warg eating partygoers at the Party Tree

Good-bye Shire.

Good-bye Thorin's Hall

Good-bye Troll's Head Tavern

Home at last.

Farewell Fazi!

The next morning I discovered the server hadn't been taken down yet, so...

One last hurrah!

Final Good-bye from Fazi.

Open beta (for everyone) starts today -- which means I'll be ignoring what I'm suppose to be doing for a good while and probably going slightly psychotic in Eriador, but I figured for everyone thats been eyeing the game and hasn't joined the beta you're time is now. : )

Also, after looking at those screen shots (Thank you for them, they're great!) I can just imagine what this game does to Tol-in-Gauroth. ; D

Kuruharan · 04-06-2007, 11:11 PM

I can recommend Silverlode as a pretty good server. The crowds have been reasonable (up to this point...) and the people are all pretty nice. I haven't run across any griefers (up to this point...) Even the spam in the general chat channel has been...tolerable.

Stay away from Brandywine and I've heard that Windfola has been collecting a number of griefers.

I've been playing in Landroval, and so far it's been good. As the "unofficial RP server" It's been easy to find RPers, which is always a plus for me. Here are a few screen shots I took last time.

A talk by the fountain of Dulliond (High def... as HD as my PC will go)

And Low Def

Weather top (from Closed Beta)

The River by Dulliond (from Closed Beta)

And last but not least... the country-side, by Dulliond as well

Hope you enjoy! =) I'll try to get some more soon

Valesse · 04-07-2007, 08:36 PM

Yay! It's finally downloaded.

If you're careful you might catch Valesseka (currently a very low level lore-master) running around Bree on the Landroval server!

For those who are thinking about trying it out, beware that the file is HUGE. With a quick connection it still took me six hours to download the entire package however the pay off is glorious. My regards go to the effort the Turbine people put into the artwork and voice-characters... the end result puts other games to shame however with such detail in the art therein requires lots of loading (anytime you enter a building... something foreign to WoWarcrafters, such as I) and there aren't many interaction codes.. yet? I'm not sure if there are plans for more, but I hope so.

Can't wait to see some other downer's online... and for those who have preordered it, is there a Barrowdowns fellowship yet?

Kuruharan · 04-09-2007, 04:33 PM

Kuruharan

This is actually surprisingly close to how I'd always pictured him...not quite right, but close.

Hello

Rainbow

Durelin · 04-09-2007, 04:48 PM

I had pretty much determined I wasn't getting it, but...

Mmm, rainbow......

And that's a wonderful screenshot (the second one) of your dwarf. It makes me want to at least play the beta...again. Not that I'd play as a dwarf, though...

If only I could afford the pre-order.
