Hi all, I have just joined LOTRO recently and I love it. Am a major Tolkien fan and really appreciate the free facility My one worry is I am unsure how to communicate with other players. I have had some hello's and invitations to join fellowships but I tend to ignore them because I don't know the 'ins and outs' of chatting online in this game. Any tips would be really appreciated Thanks all!

If you are in a zone, generally chat happens mostly in either /ooc (out of character) or /advice (advice).

To speek in those zones, hit Enter (puts your cursorsor in the chat box, typr /ooc and a space ~or~ /advice and a space, and then enter your text and hit enter.

To /tell a player, type /tell (players name) (text) This is essentially whispering them directly. You can also right-click their name in the chat window.

To /say is to say something that is only heard by those within a certain radius of you. A lot of the RPers use /say

If someone whispers you, you can /r to reply to them directly.

There is also /f when you are in a Fellowship. Everyone in the Fellowship will see what you say but no others.

Same thing for /k or Kin chat.

Hope this helps. There are other channels, such as Trade or Regional, but the above are the channels you will use the most.

Repost that in the tech forum. Frankly I don't have a clue, and I doubt that most that post on this forum would. You're more likely to get the help you need on the tech forum.

Ok posted... I hope that they check tech forum from time to time...

Hi I am new and I need help. Once I start the launcher and log in, the game starts up and then the screen goes black. After it goes black, I can't do anything. No CTRL ALT DEL, no windows button, no anything. Even the power button must be held down not pressed. Any help is appreciated. I am really excited to play this game but I cant start it because of this problem.
