I had to go and grind out 20 tokens, because I had zero tokens left on my main character, but I did manage to get the second Yule Festival Horse and take my screenshot. For the festival horse I always … Continue reading →

If it weren’t for CSTM’s amazing network of curious Lotro players, it would have never occurred to me to check the Yule Festival barter again. Thank you Goldenstar for the alert! Some very nice new outfit items have been added, … Continue reading →

Today, as Xyderias and I were running around doing our dances for the festival, we tried to explain to a few people our tips and tricks for getting the dances done quickly. This is a run-down of information that should make things go more smoothly for you. Getting the Aliases Ready to Use The alias macro system in LotRO is a little complicated. So, to make matters easier, here is a guide specifically for making dance aliases. 1. Setup Aliases Read the rest of this entry »

The poll for the last two weeks was about how people use my.LOTRO. You can see the results here and listen to our discussion about it on this week's Mordor or Bust podcast. The new poll asks what your favorite festival mount is. If you participated within the first few days of the poll, I'm sorry, but the poll was reset because I am trying another poll widget. (And liking it a lot more.) if (WIDGETBOX) WIDGETBOX.renderWidget('b92514cc-123b-44f2-8c92-a28cc504bfa2'); Get the <a...

Summer Festival Guide

As always, the good folks over at Massively have kindly put together a guide to the summer festival. Interestingly enough, this year's guide is less necessary than last, considering we now have an in-game guide delivered to us by mail and which starts its own quest to seek it out. Cool stuff, but Massively always does an excellent job with their guides, so do check it out as well as the in-game, in-character, one.

EDIT: Looks like I linked to last year's Summer Festival Guide... Okay, brilliant move on my part, but hey, helpful readers FTW: LOTRO Vault's Summer Festival Guide.

Post Book 8 Impressions

First off, I have done only one of the new instances given to us in Book 8, and that one bugged out. Haven't tried it after the hotfix. But I have been looking around at the revamped content in Breeland and Ered Luin, and I'm very pleased with the result. Not nearly so much running back and forth (which got annoying without a horse, if in such a small zone as Ered Luin), the quests are better written and more organized - they flow better. Great job Orion on the revamps. I particularly liked the tour of Bree, getting players familiar with the town. I remember being sent to the Prancing Pony and looking up where it was in my copy of the Lord of the Rings (kudos for putting everything in its proper place!) after I somehow managed to miss it. No missing it now with the pointer quest to the tour.

I've not participated in the epic book continuation either, as I'm a stickler for doing the books in order, and I'm currently on 2.5.5. Hope to catch up soon. Still, what I'm hearing is good. Rarely have I found an epic quest that sucked. They might have been hard, there might have been complaining, but the fact remains they're some of the most well-crafted content in the game.

The Spring Festival is back for an encore. Looks like with all the server problems people thought that they should have more time with the spring festival. I'm inclined to agree with the sentiment and so was Turbine. Due to popular demand, the Spring Festival is back until 12:00 PM EST on April 13th. That's Monday.

Miss the games of your childhood? Like tag? Well, now you can indulge without looking like a goofball. LOTRO offers tag in a nice controlled virtual environment. Well, it still might rain, but who cares!?! As part of the Spring Festival, the Breefields play host a tag arena for indulging your inner, or outer, child. Check out the official write-up and then head on over to the tag field in-game!
