The first book of Volume 3, gets a European release on Tuesday afternoon. There is no advance download available, so we'll all just have to queue and wait on the LOTRO game update service. For those who are impatient, there is a fairly indepth preview over at the "Massively" website. It does contain a lot of spoilers, so please be aware before viewing.
Now the patch notes and developer diaries for this new book have been available for a while, so it is no secret that book 1 is set in existing areas of Middle Earth. Although the content looks intersting, it is adding more of the same and expanding current features, rather than providing something radically new. As ever, I'm sure the community will be quick to express its opinion via the offical US and European forums.

Since I’m sure we are all eagerly waiting for Volume III, Book 1 to hit on Monday, I thought I’d give you a heads-up on what jewelry to get once servers are up. Aside from new patterns and whatnot, there are also changes going into effect for the level 60 teal jewelry pieces (Sublime Rose and Glowing Aureate). There are now multiple versions of these items, tailored to specific roles. For the full listing of them, see this post on the official forums.
For Lore-masters particularly, there are some great changes. Let’s break it down by jewelry slot. I have only included here those which are itemized for casters.

Volume 3, Book 1 brings us captains some joy for a change. I was pleased, then dejected, and am now pleased again – pleased enough to blog about the changes as a lifelong lover of Captains (especially my own!).
So, what changes are we getting?
Captain skills requiring an OnDefeat event will now generate an OnDefeat event themselves if they kill a monster.
This is something Turbine have been working to give us for a while, I believe it’s how the mechanic was always meant to work. It seems all our waiting may have finally paid off and we can now chain an on-defeat event by killing something with another one. Won’t happen all that often, but I’m not looking this one in the mouth. A hearty hurrah!
Captain heralds will no longer gain 100% absorption from Shield of the Dúnedain.

Here's the press release regarding the first book of the next volume of LOTRO. The actual storyline is rather interesting, focusing of the muster of the Dunedain (lead by Halbarad?) and their preparation to ride to aid Aragorn. Poor buggers, they're spread somewhat thin at present. Will this book give a clear indication of things to come, or will it be a exercise in treading water, as the game seeks a new direction? We'll have to wait and see.
