I went through the basic training today. Was fun. Then tonight I tried playing a regular game. And I guess I don't actually have any cards. How is it that I'm suppose to get these cards? I think I may have figured it out, but I may still be a bit skeptical.

The training was riddled with bugs. The screen that popped up telling me what to do would go from normal text, to small unreadable text, to incredibly large "it fills up more than I can see" text. So yeah. And its sort of slow, but I'm not sure if thats just my computer.

Ok, I figured out how to "buy" the cards and everything. So now I just have to build a deck and stuff. So anytime you want to play Fell, just let me know.

I assume you're registered as Gemm? my name is, predictably, Fellfrosch, so you can find me that way. I intend to be on tonight, and with any luck I might get on a few minutes right now.

Poopie, we should probably plan a bit ahead before we asign ourselves to a time. I don't think I'm doing anything tomorrow eve.

That would be tonight, which won't work because I won't be home until tomorrow. How does Tuesday night grab you?

Heh, this is sweet. I have about $211 in credit at the LotR Online CCG store. That's about 15 booster packs for about $50. So Fell, whens the next time you'll be on this thing. Your wife, or whomever has been signing on your AIM, told me you won't be back until friday, and are moving saturday. But that doesn't help me, much. Or something along the line.

What does it take to get started on that thing? Is it just a download, or do you have to buy the program/cards?

You missed the open beta, Prometheus, as did I.

It closed to new folks last week...right in the middle of me downloading the softwear in fact.

Missed it by *this* much!

Shrug. I didn't *really* need a new place to waste my time at anyway. I can do that right here.  8)

One of my friends signed up for LOTR Online but can't access it so I've been given the freedom to muck around with his account.

I'm tempted to buy the $50 package, but I just can't make myself...I can't make myself buy virtual cards for the same price I could buy real ones...online boxes are more expensive in fact!  

Are you beta testers still playing?  Can you convince me?
