“Tell the Community Team” is where Turbine asks for the players to give them direct and specific feedback about a specific topic. This is really a fantastic opportunity for you to give your thoughts and opinions about the game directly to Turbine to think about.

These “Tell the Community Team” questions focus on Add-ons and UI Skins. They have three questions they are looking for you to give them feedback on:

  1. Visit the official thread to answer the poll “Do you use the stock/standard UI skin or a custom UI skin when playing LOTRO?”
  2. Do you feel UI add-ons would be a positive or negative addition to LOTRO?
  3. If LOTRO permitted UI add-ons, name two you would find most useful.

Next Tuesday, May 4th, we will be interviewing The Tolkien Professor a.k.a. Dr. Corey Olsen of Washington College.

If you’re not familiar with Dr. Corey Olsen, he is a tenure-track professor who has not only started a podcast discussing all of Tolkien’s literary works, but who has also been publishing the course he is teaching this semester which discusses the Silmarillion, The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings trilogy.  He can also be found on Facebook and Twitter where he makes announcements and answers questions.

Each week we ask you to share your successes in Middle Earth with the rest of the community. Post a comment letting us know what you’ve accomplished this past week. We will pick comments at random to read on the podcast giving you a chance for a little shout out for yourself!

Our shout-outs are only as good as the information we get so remember:

  1. Don’t forget to add your character name, what server you play on and if you like, add your Kinship if you have one. Hard to give you a Shout-Out if you don’t include it!
  2. Please keep your posts brief. We won’t be able to read full novels of your adventures. At least make it so we can easily sum it up!
  3. Do not be afraid to post any of your achievements. We don’t care if you just saved Archet or cleared out Dol Guldor. We want to hear from you!

These shout outs will appear in Episode 35 of A Casual Stroll to Mordor Podcast. Comments for this thread will be closed after recording as this is a weekly thing. If you missed this week’s cut off, don’t fret! A new thread just like this one will appear next Friday!
