LotRO Mithril Coins Rule

74 words.

I know that the Mithril Coins are just a way to force people to buy from the shop, but I still cheerfully bought a big bagful of them. Being able to zip back to quest givers is an incredible time-saver. Way more worth real money than, say, a fancy cape or horse or whatever. (Actually, I had a trove of Turbine Points sitting around so I didn’t need to spend any (more) real money.)

Over the summer when I was vacationing in Middle-earth I bought a stack of the mithril coins. Initially I just wanted some to up my daily task limit on my main. But then the end of an evening of adventure would come around and I would be tired and it was so much easier to just spend a coin to get back to that quest giver or to get to the next travel point or whatever. That little “spend a mithril coin” icon is up in a lot of places.

Of course, it helps that I bought a Lifetime subscription way back at launch, so I was spending my VIP stipend. But I still found myself spending more of those coins that I thought I would.
