Given the feedback I saw in the Times and ingame this is a thing of great popularity and hence worthy to revive!
But first, what is the Audiobook actually? For all those who have not yet been able to enjoy it yet:
With the Audiobook we mean that we listen through Teamspeak to an audiobook of LotR. The audiobook is a creation by Phil Dragash, aka PhilsStuffOfDoom on Youtube. He has created an amazing, most likely the most amazing, LotR audiobook as private project. While his voice acting skills are already pure gold he went even further and enmeshed Howard Shore's movie soundtrack and more sounds to the creation. While listening to the audiobook we follow the actions ingame making the entire thing a truly unforgettable experience.
Timing
Always the hardest point of it. Of course, unfortunately we cannot find times that match for everyone. Usually we do a session once a week, listening to usually 2-3 chapters of the book which takes about 2 hours. Above I added a poll with time slots that you can vote for (you can select multiple ones). Maybe we can even make every session twice to allow as many as possible to participate.
Sometimes we may even alter the builds a bit to match the exact state of the story, e.g. last time we blew up the Helms Deep wall
Unfortunately Phil's creations have been removed from Youtube, most likely because he used the music of Howard Shore, but I found a place to download them nevertheless
I hope that we can start next weekend, I will host it, if anyone else is interested in hosting just message me ;-).
As shown by the poll in the Times we will start from the beginning again.
