Just was listening to podmoot2 and fury was talking about mmo guilt and that is a great point! Luckily I’m a lifetimer so I don’t mind skipping a night or two to play other games like league of legends.

LOTRO Reporter Experiment: Completing Bree-lands!
Oct 14th
The people have spoken! According to our latest poll, most of you would like to see me complete Bree-lands as the next LOTRO Reporter Experiment. The rules?
- I must complete every quest in Bree-lands
- I must complete every deed in Bree-lands
It’s pretty simple, and I’m sure that I’ll enjoy this one as much as I did The Shire experiment.
I do foresee some problems, and they’re pretty simple. I don’t really like two of the biggest areas in Bree-lands: Midgewater Marsh and The Old Forest. I find both of the areas a pain, and when I’m leveling, I tend to avoid them like the plague. This time around though, I’m going to get everything done, and hopefully I’ll learn something new like I did in The Shire.
I don’t know what that’s going to be, but I’m excited to find out!
See you in-game!
