Lost in Norrath

I tried several times to get into LOTRO over the weekend. The servers were closed. I don't know if its because I'm not a founder (players who preordered lifetime subscriptions) or if the servers were down, or if the servers were full.

WoW has me kinda just running around aimlessly at the moment, so I logged into EQ2. It has been a long time since I played, and I felt like I had started a brand new game. I tried playing my original character which had made it to what I recall as Antonica, but felt so lost that I ended up creating new characters and just staying on "newbie island".

I have to stop myself from creating a healer-type. I still see other players at low health and want to cast a heal on them, or wish I had a buff to give them as they run by. I've been trying out the mage-types - Illusionist, Necromancer and Conjurer. I guess its too soon to tell what the differences are. I wish I had some other pet besides a beetle (Conj) and a bat (Necro).
