As the title says, which server should I choose if playing from the EU? AFAIK I can choose between Laurelin (RP) og Evernight. Which one has the most players?

Looks like the bundles are priced at 8995LP, 2995LP, and 1595LP.

I do really like the Superior cosmetic outfits, but I don't know if I 9000LP-like them. What are your thoughts?

I especially like the cape/cloak.

Fishing is fun, but having a "hobbies" tab with only one skill is a bit sad.

I've always thought it would be cool to make smoke rings with pipe-weed. Higher levels could allow you to make different sizes, shapes, or colours.

What are folks thinking/feeling about the upcoming updates?

I hadn't been planning on rolling up any new characters anytime soon (have way too many alts already!), but the concept art for the River Hobbits sure does look cute...

But I'm more interested in the coming crafting changes, personally. Really hoping for the ability to customise and/or add crafting skills outside of the fixed current professions.

Also cautiously hopeful about the lag fixes seemingly coming this week?! Most of the time lag is a minor irritation rather than a huge issue for me, but around festival time? Especially right now, in Minas Tirith (Midsummer)? Ugh...
