I was tossing up whether to do a Riders of Rohan wishlist post this week or continue with the update 5 instance guides, but I figure that the longer I take on these guides the less relevant they become so into the Pits of Isengard it is…

CNN’s Geek Out blog has a new article out today called “The migratory patterns of MMO gamers”. In the article the author, Nikki Rau-Baker, talks about the pattern of MMO players to leave their game to try another game.
The article speaks on a couple games but LOTRO is a bit more prominent as it is something that the author is familiar with and plays herself.

As January draws to a close, we find that there’s no shortage of topics to discuss in the podcast. This time we cover a variety of subjects from the cancellation of BlizzCon, the success of BBCs second season of Sherlock and the announcement of the new Riders of Rohan expansion pack for LOTRO. Brian and I are joined by Lisa this time round for an hour of discussion and debate:
- Weekly Summary: Brian has made Star Trek Online his MMO of choice and continues to rediscover the game. Lisa hobnobs with Twitter celebrities. I continue with my ongoing struggle to earn credits in Star Wars: The Old Republic. [00:58]

While most people read the announcement of RoR (pronounced RAWR! by me) and thought that it was awesome, I was left with more questions than answers. This is because I recently got added on to CSTM for a PVMP article and have been thinking in PVMP mentality for the last few weeks. I was going to post my first issue of “How to be a Monster” and then RoR got announced. After reading from multiple sites, I could not shake away PVMP questions about RoR. I decided that while the news was still fresh I would write about how this expansion could change PVMP forever.

Once more Ivaneus has come forth to share his knowledge and views on the Lord of the RIngs Online in his own manner. This week we tackle Update 5.1, the Riders of Rohan announcement, wrap up the Ettenmoors Geography, and tackle player email and blog comments. So sit back, relax, and have a happy and prosperous year of the dragon as we go Thorugh the Palantir.

This week we talk about the new expansion Riders of Rohan coming Fall 2012 and the news of what is coming with Update 6.
Goldenstar is still struggling her way through Rise of Isengard. She is very disappointed that despite effort on her part she’s still level 72.

When Update 5.1 went live, one of the first things I did was checking at the Moria barters if perhaps they had lifted the ban on cross class bartering. I have lots of Moria medallions but don’t really want any …
