Meet my baby champion 
She is now level 33 and I thought she deserved a new outfit. I had found the legs whilst questing on Eldaeriel and loved them, although I wasn’t sure on who or how to use them. I also haven’t found a perfect match with the jacket but I think it looks good enough. I don’t usually use bright colours but if anyone is going to wear red, its going to be a champion surely?!

After all the anticipation of the patch notes coming down JUST before a server hiccup at Turbine brought down the website, the actual patch notes for Bullroarer are quite tame.
I think the biggest thing in there (other then sound to the /toast emote) is the change to the Lockboxes:

I found this rather nice tapestry in the Library of Steel (solo instance needing an infused adamant, obtained from Mundeirr, Dolven-View). I wonder if it could show the Lonely Mountain in the background, possibly with Lake-Town directly behind the dwarf. Hmm… any ideas?

Orion has the second part of his Warden updates posted and this walks through the Shield and Spear line gambits. If you missed Post #1, head over here 
As a follow-up to that post, Orion also responds to some of the comments on the forums as well:

ooh matron indeed
I originally did this for our guild website but it makes me laugh so much I thought I’d share it here. We went into deep delvings for a class quest update and came upon the end boss. He really made us laugh because he stands there swinging his hammer as though it was a handbag

Orion’s starting to open up a bit more as he gives us some pretty hard details about what’s coming for the Warden class with Update 6. While these are posted on his my.LOTRO blog, they’re still subject to change based on feedback. Also, keep in mind this post is titled “Blog #1” so there will be more coming.
First up, he describes how Battle Preparations will work which sounds pretty slick. Essentially, using the skill will turn builders and masteries no longer require a target and as such can be used outside of combat. This will allow you to build and store a gambit pre-fight for up to 30 seconds. I’m a little curious to see if there will be a cool-down for this skill.

as we’ve all been struck down with the lurgy and the littlun is showing signs of chicken pox I’ve been retreating into Skyrim of an evening, to transport myself away from miserable January. Plus being able to quicksave and pause makes life much much easier at the moment
I did pop onto lotro last night and bankrupted myself buying a worn symbol to forge a second age bow (yayyay!) I got fairly crappy legacies on it which was… crappy 
nevermind, I have the legacies I want on there now and they can be increased. Hopefully we will be able to group up with our friend Aeowulf tonight.
I will have my champion outfit to share soon and hopefully will be back posting regularly soon

Right on the heels of the Riders of Rohan Expansion announcement, Massively released an article with comments from Kate Paiz and Adam Mersky talking about the upcoming year.
The article starts off with a bit of a look back at 2011 and I think it is fair to say the whole EU transition took up way more time and resources then Turbine expected. Is this to blame for the “down” year for content? Who knows, but certainly it loomed large for them.

Today Turbine came out with another big announcement – the next expansion will happen in Fall of 2012 with the introduction of the Riders of Rohan!
