Lotro
Just thought it would be funny to leave an update here – I stopped playing SWG in Feb 2008 to try out Lord of the Rings online and am still playing that one 
There’s a lot of Ex-WoW players that wanted a change, telling a lot of bad stuff about how and why they got tired playing WoW… Well if they ever bring up housing I might give it another try^^
This is my Lotro Blog (in German tho) 
SWG it is :)
I am definately through with WoW (for a good while at least unless they include other content lol).
Staying a while^^
Well its almost a month later and I am still with SWG. I cancelled my two WoW accounts and have no real needs to go back there atm – besides I miss my pets a bit I do have ongoing contact with my WoW Guild tho since I still do my Admin and Officer jobs in the forum
Being back to SWG is just great, I just made up another blog for my interior design: swgalaxie.wordpress.com and might use it for some blogging too (but its in German, so…^^)
As fate willed…
…yesterday I found out that Star Wars Galaxies (SWG) has implemented a new profession: the Beast Master. This reading exactly on the day that was the last I was able to reactivate my account without loosing my belongings (deadline was “before” 31th May) such as houses and mounts appeared like a broad wink to me and of course I reactivated. Due to the long time installing and updating (haven’t played for 2 years) I only had time to look up my chars and practise the new way of movement a little. Three of my chars a already high enough to start the Beast Master at once, but since instead of taming animals you have to get their DNA, incubate an egg and then raise your pet (GORGIOUS IDEA), I have no pet right away lol.
I reactivated my accounts for only 4 weeks at first step to figure out if I like the new SWG. And I will just write on here telling about it ^^

The Kaliri Story
While getting exalted reputation with the Mag’har (beautiful skin tone on those orcs btw., I wished they implement that option for creating orcs^^) to be able to ride a Talbuk Dreamz also made it to level 70 and so not only bought a White Riding Talbuk (dont like the war ones cus the armor hides a lot of the look) but a flying mount – Blue Windrider – also.
Shortly after all that I felt a lack of aim I played my other chars for a few days when during a visit of Petopia the Skettis Kaliri crossed my surfing again. Besides Dreamgirl the snow leo there were two pets in Dreamz’ stable: a fresh tamed level 66 black raptor (Daggermore Blackhide) and a black owl (Kaliri Swooper) of level 66 too. I have had fun with the owl (name is Dreamy), always having a little falcon owl pet of the exact same look out with her which made it seem like if I had a mummy and a baby owl with me ^^ I had stopped leveling Dreamy to get Dreamgirl up which was like 3 levels behind me, not really helpful when doing instance zones with my guild.
I decided on setting the raptor free and looked up Petopia to find out where to get the Skettis Kaliri. The area it was shown in I hadn’t visited before and so headed to Stonebreaker Hold, figuring I had to ride around on my Talbuk and try to find the entrance to that Kaliri area. Lol stupid me… After searching for a while I suddenly remembered that I have – a FLYING mount by now! Rofl… I wasn’t really used to that fact yet, so I forgave myself *g* and approached the area on the back of my windrider.
But hey – that wasn’t easy at all due to those other owls (looking like the Avian Ripper) which fly high also and attack you when you get close to them. And I still didn’t know where to find the Skettis Kaliri exactly! I managed to escape two attacks of the red-orange owls while looking out for my target. Finally – flying closer to the ground and being in the eastern end of the area – I spotted a Skettis Kaliri and while I was thinking about on where exactly I should land I got attacked a third time. This time the aggresive owl threw me off my windrider but I got lucky – landed in the hills still alive, the owl had left and I managed to jump further down, Skettis people and a Skettis Kaliri in sight. Thanks aggressive owl – this was a nice spot to get kicked off your flying mount. What I noticed first was the fact that the name of the Kaliri was shown in yellow letters, I remembered Olm the Wise, the bird with Cenarius faction, and was a bit afraid that I might not be able to tame the Kaliri due to something like that, tho I hadn’t read anything about it on Petopia.
A bit away I saw another player fighting the Skettis people, but she didn’t be interested in the owl (I only saw one of them). Between me and the owl was a feathered Skettis guy and when I attacked him the Skettis Kaliri followed and attacked me too – yellow letters changed into red! I placed a freezing trap, killed the Skettis guy, set my raptor free and started on taming the Kaliri. No problem until – something happened which I am still not sure of, but the red letters turned into yellow again and MY Kaliri attacked that other player that was around too 
Perhaps she had shot it or the Kaliri was somehow bond to a mob she had fought before – I still have no idea. Nevertheless when she had killed the Kaliri she wasn’t able to loot it – but I was and I did, showing off that this had been a mob I was fighting. I sure was angry but since that player hurried away she might have figured that she had been mistaken and so I didn’t say anything^^
Not seeing another Skettis Kaliri I went back to my save spot close to the hills, waiting and watching. Then suddenly another spawned. I waited a moment to see if the player attacked it but she was busy fighting Skettis people. So I ran closer, shot the Kaliri (letters turned red), placed a trap but stupidly hit it once and it break out. So I just hoped for a first tame success and that the other player would not interact again. And so it happened – shortly after the beautiful Skettis Kaliri was mine
Then I just ported myself back to my homespot in Garadar (Nagrand) and logged off to think about a name. I had planned on using Dreamer perhaps, since I had Dreamgirl and Dreamy already, but finally decided that owl deserved a more fitting name. Therefore I named her Rainbow ^^ Since then I have hunted with her a few times now (my next aim might be exalted reputation with the Consortium for they have some nice items, no recipes for me tho since I am an Alchemist) and it seems not easy to get a level 70 pet to love you like hell *g* But I’m sure time will help that
Forever Yours
And well, yes, of course I want to try out a Draenei and the new Alli areas too, so these are Forever and her tiger Yours Only level 10, had not much time for them yet.
