Many people know that I have a deep affection for Bingo Boffin in Lord of the Rings Online. The well-meaning but sometimes daft Hobbit adventurer starred in a very long quest chain — and yet, it wasn’t enough for me. It’s been great that he’s come back for more tales during the Halloween event, but I won’t rest until we get a Bingo Boffin expansion pack!
Sometimes certain special NPCs are like that. These characters rise above the rest of the crowd to become fan-favorites — or maybe just your personal favorite. And as a result of that fandom, you want to see more of them.
