So I’m really enjoying **Lord of the Rings Online** - the designers are clearly Tolkien fans and the storyline, graphics and music fit Middle Earth superbly.

My character has a few things to sell, so I approach an Elf trader in Lothlorien.  
She barks “Why do you disturb me with your mundane wares?”

Instinctively I reply out loud “Sorry.”
