Sapience of Turbine, in trademarked Incredisoon style, announced yesterday that Turbine will be opening four new servers for our gaming pleasure!
The servers will be named as follows:
- Riddermark
- Crickhollow
- Dwarrowdelf
- Imladris
These servers will be available on a first-come, first-”served” basis, starting September 8th for Head Start players, and September 10 for all others. (Check here to see if you are eligible for the earlier start date.) Sapience also noted that the forums for the new servers are up and running, in order to help the flocks of people organize themselves and their friends. For those of you with 67 alts who just NEED to have 9 new characters to love, head on over to the new servers, make some new friends, and bring our well-renowned LOTRO community spirit to some new players arriving soon, very soon, ultra soon, uber soon….. You get the idea! 
Happy gaming!

Narrel writes today about how LUA scripting came about for LOTRO in the most recently released Dev Diary. He was hired as a game systems engineer for LOTRO in late 2007 and eventually “…became the ‘go-to guy’ for UI on my team.” Dissatisfied with the current UI he eventually started working with “ForsakenArcher” and “Agiclaw”, to of the internal tools engineers at Turbine, and they began discussing, planning and working on a prototype for the LUA system. To paraphrase, after internal testing, meetings, and with help from “Frosty” they were given the approval and the opportunity to introduce it with the Volume 3.2 testing.
So what does LUA do and what is it capable of? Well, quite a bit actually, but the implementation in LOTRO has actually been limited on purpose by Turbine.

This week we cover the areas for leveling from 51-60 and the skills you will attain from them.
Having reached level 50 and finishing your level 50 class quest you can finish up in Eregion and move into Moria, which is like nothing you have ever seen. Gaining access to Moria requires the purchase of the Moria expansion and the completion of Volume 2 Book 1 of the epic quest line, so we are going to operate on the assumption that you have both of these taken care of. After entering Moria you will first notice that it is huge with multiple quest hubs. The first few are levels 50-56 and then the lower levels are 55-60.
Another option once you are in the level 55-56 range is to quest in the outer Moria pre-Lothlorien areas for reputation with the Elves of Lothlorien which will grant you access to the Lothlorien areas. There are two Factions of Dwarves in Moria for reputation the Miners and the Guards. Both of them have decent

There are so many different types of trees in Lord of the Rings Online, from birches to pine and everything in between. I’m always amazed at all the different sizes, colors, and types represented in Middle-Earth.
Flowering Trees
Throughout the spring and summer there are plenty of flowering trees to enjoy. The flowers come in an array of different shades, including purple.

I’m going to go out on a limb and make a prediction for Lord of the Rings Online. I’m going to predict that Turbine will announce the next major content update at PAX, and that it will come before the end of the year.
I have a few reasons for believe this, but I’m feel very strongly about this. We will get an announcement from Turbine letting us know that we will be continuing our journey towards Mordor.
