Thank you all for joining me today, that was so much fun! I'll see you all with a Balin video next week!

[@brandonluker3660]

Thanks for the great live chat, long live your channel!

[@cholst1]

I always thought your name was Jostein, which is a scandinavian name, hah.

[@feelsgoodman9751]

When will you do a video on Faramir

[@alanasmith3131]

Big fan of lord of the rings and the hobbit

[@josiahzabel8596]

given that you know Star Wars better than Elder Scrolls- do you have any respectt for any of the Imperial Warlords(Kaine is really the only one I respect, he was the only one who managed to get anything done)

[@twilliam043]

This guy is one of the most wholesome people on KZbin and he covers one of my favorite topics. I will never NOT watch his videos. He deserves his subscribers.

[@anwvererere]

[@thelyle1399]

So much fun Yoystan, I look forward to the next live stream, and to the Balin character video next week.

[@therealdarkwhale7977]

Damn sorry i missed the livestream, was really fun to watch afterwards though.

[@b-o-n-d-y9478]

These LOTRO streams are pure gold 💙

[@valiant719]

Congrats again on 200,000 subscribers! From one Captain to another /sword salute

[@MenoftheWest]

Thanks man! And thank you for carrying the team, my friend! That was so much fun! /sword salute

[@NOIDEAIWILLJUSTUSEHAILEYIGUESS]

Thanks for letting us join the raid, Yoystan. Had tons of fun, and thank you for reviving me after i killed us in the rift xD

[@FireLordJohn3191]

What an epic ending! You eluded an Elder Dragon!

[@tarinakertoo]

oh oh! 37:17 thats me! i made it! also you can call me G4 if it helps :D Thank you for all the content you create for us and gratz on big time achievement!

[@marionbaggins]

Thanks again for the Time...I was soo happy I could make one!!! It was on my bucket list!!! Because if different Time Zones I never make a Livestream!!! Thanks Thanks and a 3rd or a 4th Thanks for the LiveStream...Until my Favorite Dwarf in the Hobbit...Marion Baggins Out!!!

[@jebpayne1710]

Theory video on if Feanor and Fingolfin actually fought each other in valinor.... who wins, what do the valar do, how does it change the war, etc...

[@thebrotherskrynn]

I'm biased cause Fingolfin's one of my fav Elves but I think he'd win, but glad they never fought and that the second son of Finwe was too noble for it, knowing the pain it would inflict upon his father, to see his two greatest sons quarrel physically.

[@otaku-sempai2197]

In fact, Bilbo owned a mantle clock. It might very well have been of dwarvish make and was likely handed down from his parents.

[@benryder5352]

well played for the 200k subs mate. super happy 4 ya. :)

[@Channel-dy8cn]

This was a very fun stream good job yoystan

[@Channel-dy8cn]

Thanks for hearting my comment this made my day :)

[@johnangus9154]

Missed your livestream 6 as you tube insisted that this was a Private Video followed by the caption fault 404😠. Love your videos, keep up the good work.

[@americanman5270]

LOTRO was one of the first MMOs I ever played next to good ol' RS. Its crazy seeing this game again though, I played it when i was in 6th grade and I still had screenshots of it on steam. My one and only character was a dwarven hunter and Gamgrim (randomly generated name of course) good times though, good times

[@rorydonaldson2794]

On the topic of doing the voice for gollum. I do what most other people consider a pretty good impression. I've always used the natural phlegm and saliva coating in my throat mixed with a deep vibrating-esk technique to get the sound. I think the reason a honey - lemon - tea mixture was used was to simulate that coating as the actor was doing the gollum voice a lot

[@marionbaggins]

This LiveStream is brought to you by Led Zeppelin's Ramble On... In Case you missed it...Here is Yoystan Singing It: 40:50-41:23 Sorry I just had to, it would have been a missed opportunity if I didn't comment more on your singing!!!

[@maureenhubbard9575]

Sorry I missed you're livestream. I was w/ family

[@bpinto9245]

heck yeah id try some ol' toby

[@tylerhawkyard6654]

Awe man I was so excited to see bilbo’s road. Please? Lol

[@humanafterallTF2]

The physical lord of the rings lcg card game is awesome. Bought it a couple years ago. Only problem for me now is that i would need to get the khazad dum expansion set and it has sold out here in Finland in every store. The base set scenarios are cool but your deck building can become quite limited when solo playing it. Perhaps my only complaint. Someone asked during your live stream so i thought to give my opinion on it. Awesome videos Yoystan! Oh and what i understand from the video game version is that it is very different in game play mechanics.

[@celp7008]

Click your spells away man mmos are nice taken slow and clicking is a nice way to just chill while you play

[@catwoman1263]

Right? I never understood the reasoning behind rushing through an MMO with great story and a beautiful world. I literally walk my character around, either on foot or on my horse, never use quick travel or milestones, sleep the night phases, ect. and I love playing that way. You see and take in a lot more that way than if you just run past it in a hurry. Not saying that everyone needs to play the way I do, but I hear so much about "power lvling" and it confuses me, lol.

[@ocolmainryhill6743]

Ever thought about trying to get other KZbinrs on the channel in an (Tolkien) interview format? Perhaps HelloFutureMe or Geekzone?

[@Nathan-uf8wu]

Theory ideas: What if Bilbo had not been merciful with Gollum. What if Sam had not gone with Frodo.

[@FireLordJohn3191]

I know this is 4 years old, but I think in both cases Sauron gets the ring back.

[@marionbaggins]

You May Be Cool...But Your Not Yoystan Trying to Talk to more than 2 Groups of People with 200,000 Subscribers and Playing LOTRO and Falling Accidently falling a Cliff (more than Once) Cool!!! My Mum Came in do bring me my first breakfast when you Fell Yoystan, she and I were Laughing Our Head Off There!!!

[@PhoenixRiseinFlame]

What server are you on?

[@randallevaro9214]

Sounds good- which server?

[@1701EarlGrey]

Honestly I'm happy that Tolkien decided against writing a sequel to LOTR - one of biggest problem with Star Wars sequels that they made original trilogy completly meaningless; in the end of the day what Luke, Han, Leia and even Anakin did was completely inconsequential - now even Emperor is back! As for LOTRO; isn't free to play? And can you make tutorial for this game? Also it would be fun to see you play pen and paper RPG such as Adventures in Middle-earth

[@agawtrip]

hows the playerbase now? im choosing between this and ddo

[@RaijinSeme]

I begin to play a blue captain does it worth it?

[@MenoftheWest]

Jester Of Madness Definitely! The blue captain is a ton of fun, I love the healing & buffing aspects!

[@Shragh1]

I am wondering, and perhaps you can answer or even make a theory video - why didn't Elrond just kill Isildur and toss the Ring into the fire himself?

[@timsters5381]

i want that ultimate edition gear

[@alanasmith3131]

Love Lord of the rings and the hobbit

[@chintemur]

If you are interested in wow lore and the game. You should really try it out. If you wanna get taste of wow lore try nobbel67 channel on KZbin, the game and lore is juicy.

[@pathwanderer1183]

1:12:22 "hes taking the livestream to isengard gard gard gagagagard gard!"

[@Hellius-zb7ef]

You all are kind of popular. For us players that enjoy the game, there is the big issue on class trait points. Would be helpful to push to so we can all enjoy a better Middle Earth and LOTRO World! #fixclasstraitpoints #lotro

[@detox5454]

you should try skyrim out with all the bitchin LOTR mods its soooo awesome haha
