Two Cool LOTRO Map Sites

If you play LOTRO (Lord of the Rings Online) then you know one of the most common OOC (Out Of Character) chat topics is "Where is [item/place/point of interest/quest/NPC/etc] ..."

At first you try to be helpfull and provide said information, but after a while it gets pretty old...

So now what I try to do is first provide said information (if I know it) AND provide a link to one of my favorite LOTRO Fan map sites (www.mehq.net).

Middle Earth Headquaters provides a very cool dynamic map and search feature, marking up a copy of the ingame map with item/place/POI/NPC/etc locations.

Today, I found a another too cool LOTRO map site, http://www.arda-online.com/map/ (via Programable Web - Lord of the Rings Maps).

Arda Online's map is cool in that it provides dynamic, searchable LOTRO maps via a Google Map mashup interface. Think Google maps for LOTRO... It's not as complete as MEHQ's maps, but the interface is pretty darn cool.

Added to my Favorites.  ;)
