How important is TLHH/GCCG to you?

[Kenddrick]

Ok soz looks like we need to stick with rules then

But hey it's still a player group!!

[HawkeyeSPF]

To be honest, I don't really even care for myself since I'm done with the game, it was more a word of warning for those who wish to see the game have a bright future.

[Kralik]

Hawkeye is absolutely right.

Last 2 options for me, but i have never played GCCG either.

Magic the Gathering is the future

Don't do it Juicy Fruit!

GCCG is the future.

Some kind of coordination between TLHH and GCCG play is pretty much how I envisioned a house committee might look like (at its most basic to be relevant, maybe providing a tournament structure and settling ruling issues for participating people). It's not to regain LotR's old popularity, but to hopefully extend the lifespan of this game for the players we have, even if the end result is still a decline. Though maybe what should be asked first is that for the players who've left before or are thinking about leaving, what changes might encourage you to stay?

Anyway, just tossing a suggestion out there. I'm more or less done with the game (maybe having my collection on hand could turn things around), but I still drop by the forums regularly.

And thanks, Kralik, for TLHH and now the efforts on GCCG!

It took me over a year to realize that. LotR is a much better game, but MtG has just awesome support...

I still like lotr tcg and I appreciate what this web site has done. 
Life is busy and I get to this site when I can but I will admit it averages about once a month.

This was a tough vote for me, because LotR is a game I know I'll always come back to at some point or another, but I haven't played it at all lately.  By the definitions offered in the poll, I could only go with, "I'm moving on in life" (just 'cause I haven't checked posts here in quite some time).

However, I don't think the "moving on" vote is truly indicative of my feelings regarding TLHH.  Like I said, I always know I'll be back some day, and when I do, it'd be nice to find there's still a community hanging around.

So the answer is:  yes, I think it's important to keep TLHH around (especially since this is really the only remaining LotR TCG community, as far as I know), even if I'm guilty of ignoring it lately.

This is me exactly over the last few months. And work is even crazier right now through May or so unfortunately... I mostly played with my friends and now I don't live near any of them. And I've tried GCCG but just not gotten into it. I definitely hope TLHH will stick around though.

Never! But i echo some of the others; regardless of lotr's outcome, I hope this site stays. I met some great people here and Id hate to think that I would lose contact with them.

Thing is, someone needs to take the reins and move things along. Someone like Thranduil, with experience in set building, card-making, and rules. And THEN we can have everyone voting or pitching in whenever needed. Just anarchist talking ans discussions won´t do squat.

Hey,

I'm relatively new here by most accounts (registered back in July)...  so I never got into posting a whole lot or hanging out with the other members back when the site was apparently much more active.

But ever since I discovered this site, I have used it at least a couple times a month, sometimes more. Like someone else said, I don't always log in (unless I have something to post) but I am often on here reading through deck suggestions, rule explanations, and even just some of the old conversations.

Like others said, it really is the only site out there that still supports or has information about the LotR TCG. Which I still think is a phenomenal game. So it would be a real shame if it was shut down or vanished. At the very least, it would be nice to keep all of the posts/information up in a static form, so that at least the thousands of pages of help, suggestions and explanations are not lost to the world. In the age of everything being preserved on the internet (including the minutia of people's lives on Twitter/facebook/etc) it would suck if the collected lore/knowledge of LotR TCG was gone.

The community on here has been helpful explaining rules and answering my questions, so I would be sad to see it go. I still play LotR TCG at least monthly with a group of my friends/cousins, and would play weekly if I could see them more often. And I've bought more cards in the last 18 months than I had in the previous 5 years, so I have been getting more into it.

If I might ask, what prompted this question/discussion? Are there forum mods/site managers that are busy with other responsibilities, and need new people to step up and help out? Or is it a money thing to keep servers/site going? Or just wondering if there isn't enough need/activity to bother keeping it up? Or maybe just hoping to spur people back into activity, as this discussion page seems to show?

I'd be curious to know if there are problems/issues that the rest of the community could help with. Like make small donations to keep funding servers or have additional help with moderating or something. Or even just cleaning up old pages/removing unused sections to cut down on size/space.

Thanks for asking the community though. I'll be checking back here to see what else is decided/discussed.

I think if we can agree that TLHH is the head of GCCG (that is, GCCG players will go by TLHH rules decisions) then we can start to make some headway. I'm also considering contests/tournaments and real/physical prizes.

[Kenddrick]

Oh yes Kralik now we're talking!

Sounds good to me!
