With the influx of new players in Lord of the Rings Online since the game's conversion to a free-to-play title, some have wondered just how well roleplaying groups would do. Well, according to the note attached to today's excellent One Shots from Deity, roleplay is still alive and well -- even in the depths of a dungeon! He writes in: "I'm from a long established, light-RP guild called Legends on the EU server Laurelin. We've fully embraced free-to-play and have welcomed many new players to our ranks. It was while running some new people through the Great Barrows that one of our more creative members, Cyph, took this screenshot. I think it really captures the essence of the Great Barrows and Lord of the Rings Online grouping. Plus, it's a great action shot! We took our time, did a bit of RPing along the way (and I don't mean standing around emoting), cleared the instances, and above all had some fun. What's even more amazing is that Cyph managed to do a great job playing while taking this picture and many others!"
We love to hear what different guilds are doing out there. If you'd like to tell us of your group's latest adventures, just grab a screenshot of your group in action and email it in to us here at oneshots@massively.com. Be sure to include your name, the name of the game, and a description of what we're seeing in the image. Also please make sure your image is at least 1024 pixels wide and has no visible UI elements. Your screenshot could be the next one we feature here on One Shots!

That is a great screenshot. It looks like something they'd put on the site, it's that good. :)

Possibly because all the other stuff they've added, shared storage, redone zones, and all other improvements recently have been outside of the story update? Up to this point, all the major content updates have included storyline and Book improvements, but with f2p, they look like they've seperated church and state, if you will, by making the storyline content and the gameplay content updates seperate.

@Ragemaster9999: I actually use song and book references on purpose. I do it because it's fun to see who catches it, and because I truly love all kinds of music and literature.
