Tonight at 9:00pm EST will be the launch of the Dunedain Radio station. Dunedain Radio will be a 24/7 streaming radio station with a wide selection of talk programs like LOTRO podcasts, fantasy music and special programs.
There’s even a Tolkien connection to this specific date as it is Tolkien Reading Day! For those of you who live in Middle-earth, this is the day that the One Ring is destroyed in the fires of Mt. Doom and Sauron fell!
The group plans to also have a representative character live in game on the Landroval server of Lord of the Rings Online. Players of the game will be able to ask questions, say hello to guests and request content they would like to hear on the new online radio venture.

One of the first things we did (apart from picking up our Turbine Party Tickets and my code for a new pony) was confirm with Sapience that Echoes of the Dead now has a launch date.
Everyone set your calendars to March 21st!

Given the complexities and challenges faced in the preparation and implementation of the new store to work within our infrastructure, we feel more time is needed to deliver the high level of service our players have quite rightly come to expect.

While today marks the official start of the LOTRO Free-to-Play Head Start, Turbine had the servers up last night for folks to hop on and explore even earlier.
I have to say that that Turbine deserves kudos for their very cleanly executed launch. I had absolutely no problem with the entire operation. The patch went very quickly and easily with no issues. There was a queue to get onto Landroval but I was playing in a few short minutes and when I opened the store, I had 4500 available points from the loyalty rewards with more trickling in due to reputation I had.
I have not yet purchased anything in the store but I know Merric did go ahead and purchase additional Wardrobe space and things went very smoothly for him.
