Perhaps it's because I had heard so many complaints about Moria, but I am surprised how much I'm enjoying it. I hasn't been since my first few days of playing LotRO that I've seen so many breathtaking sights. I think the reveals in Moria are better than they have been in the rest of Eriador.

I'm working on a Moria collection of wallpapers. That's where I'm spending most of my time right now. It's also an area of great vision and architecture, from both an in-character and out-of-character perspective.

This is definitely my favorite horse. It first caught my eye in a news post several months ago. At that time the mount was bugged, and using the same skin as another mount in game. While that mount was pretty awesome as well, the new artwork for it made me decide it was just the mount I wanted.

I have to make some confessions.

First, I have been playing LotRO again for a while now. I've moved through Angmar and Eregion, and I'm now well into Moria. I love Moria more than any other part of the game so far, but that's for another day.

Second, I have always been into the cosmetics feature of the game, but once the wardrobe system came out it became especially addictive. I'm an avid fan of several of the LotRO outfitting blogs out there. I find that I spend the majority of my time at the bank or auction house rearranging outfits. Maybe it's because I've never been interested in real life fashion in the least.

I went to the Fellowship Walk party on Saturday. It was my first time on Landroval in over a year. I have to say I was impressed with how much more sophisticated the bands' music has gotten in that time (and it was pretty good before!) While I listened to the music, I also looked around the crowd for outfit ideas. Here are the ones that stuck out for me.
