If you do plan a long break from the game, it would also help if you update your player message to something to make it clear you're coming back and not just someone whos never going to play lotro again (eg, "Long Break", "Back on Sep 22nd" etc)

Well for starters, I'm away this weekend (Fri 18th - Sun 20th June) as im going on a road trip to a friends for a LAN Party

You might actually see me in-game if they are curious about LOTRO.
