TBH lotro got a lot better again after U14. At least the old raids (scaled - BG/OD/Erebor) and instances are challenging again. Also, Dol Amroth looks really nice. If any of you really miss the old days, I would advise you to check it out and see how you like it. For me anyway it was enough to get me back into the game.
On another note, just came back from a holiday in Peru, man it was nice. I did get ill at one point, pretty bad fever (hallucinations FTW) but it passed after a day. Very weird. Anyway, I saw some very impressive things there and am very glad I took the trip.
Gr,
