Waybound WayBound Volume 1 Number 1 | Page 2

What Lies Ahead? A s we look into the future, what is it we see for our Kinship? With the changes wrought by the recent update to Helm’s Deep and the western portion of Rohan, many of us have been struck by how drastic some of those changes are. But what, really, do they portend? From a gameplay point of view, I’ve heard many members exclaim that they are now more powerful than ever. Personally, I was dismayed upon opening the client to find some of my most beloved and go-to skills were gone. Vanished. It seemed to me at that time that there was no real sense in progressing forward. I mean, who wants to start all over again as a rank newbie after putting years into building and learning your class and character? I’ve also heard some not-quite-silent wonders and worries about where our Kinship Editorial By Sossity Tullsong is going, and the means that are being used to get there. our members see the merit and value in having this medium available. This edition of Waybound is dedicated to providing answers to some of these questions and concerns, and to try to provide an open, thoughtful environment for our members to ponder these cares for themselves, and what it will mean to their future gameplay here in Middle Earth. So, what lies ahead? In this edition you’ll find new features; a bi-weekly calendar, Meeting Minutes, the introduction of our Alliance articles section, screenshots, and other features. The advent of Waybound, and all the potential it holds for disseminating information, news, fellowship, and more, is only one change in a growing trend by The Witch Kings to make it easier to reach out to all members, here on the Mother server, Firefoot, but also to our now expanding presence on Imladris and eventually, other server/worlds as well. The response to WayBound has been positive. This makes me happy, not only because it’s kinda my baby, but it means that We’d love to hear what you, the member, thinks about these items, as well as the magazine overall, so please feel free to drop us a note through in-game mail, a tell, or an email to: [email protected]. You can also feel free to submit screenshots, ideas, and, Valar forbid, complaints and corredtions. Until the nest time, Lema Eithel,
