FerndurThis week we share a bit about our adventures in Angmar killing some of the raid landscape beasts, Ferndur and Bogbereth. Goldenstar was lucky enough to get both trophies for her house ut was a little miffed (or perhaps disgusted) when she plopped down Ferndur’s head and discover flies buzzing around it. Ick!

Goldenstar ran into some bad luck when her Runekeeper died at level 19 preventing her from getting the “Undying” title. So that RK was promptly deleted and Goldenstorm the new elven RK was born! Merric got his captain to level 30 and has started working on his Minstrel as his next alt. He also talks about his numerous successes with skirmishes.

An MMO is never complete and there are some things that just don’t get corrected in time for patch day. I typically find several complaints in forums and on twitter about things that Turbine knows about.

I do feel a little better with the knowledge that this particular problem is already known by the devs. Sapience posted the Known Issues list today. Check that any problems you have are listed here before submitting those angry forum posts or bug submissions!

For those curious and stuck at work, here is the known issues list in a handy PDF format.
