Sapience posted a word today addressing concerns from the EU players who currently reside on Codemaster role-play servers.
Currently, Codemasters have designated RP servers that adhere to specific naming, behavior and chat rules that Codemasters will enforce. There was concern for the players on these servers that they will lose this RP haven when Turbine migrates them over to the new Global Service. Turbine currently does not acknowledge any official RP servers and the players have created their own unofficial RP servers that are not enforced by any rules (other than the normal rules all servers follow) as a result.

As most of us are aware, LOTRO experienced some significant downtime yesterday that affected the Turbine datacenters and shutting down the web sites and game servers for Turbine’s games.
Today things must have calmed down a little at Turbine HQ as Sapience was able to share some information about the outage on the forums.

After being down for most the day, LOTRO servers are all back up and functioning.
No official reason for the outage has been shared. With the game servers and the web portal both down the best place for LOTRO news during the day was via LOTRO’s Twitter or Facebook accounts. The problem was isolated to Turbine services (DDO and AC were down as well) as Codemaster players were happily logged in all day.

It was announced that there will be downtime for the US servers on Monday, December 6. The purpose is to patch some bug fixes, which follow:
- The Steed of Night was not displaying the correct item name. This is has been addressed. It will now correctly display as “Steed of Night.”
- Terrible things (such as skills getting stuck in the queued state, and being unable to use the key to log out) no longer happen after you try to use a helpful skill on an inanimate object.
- There’s now a tutorial hint shown when Skirmish Marks and Anniversary
- Tokens are transferred into the Barter Wallet.
- Items that increase the daily Tasks limit now more clearly state their use restrictions.
- NPCs in the Volume 2, Book 5, Chapter 5 instances were randomly scaling, making it difficult to complete the instances. We’ve spoken to those NPCs and explained to them that, while their enthusiasm is appreciated, we’d much rather have appropriate level NPCs in those instances.
- Resolved an issue where the “Jailbreak” quest in Archet would fail if players ran too far ahead.
- We have added a new mount to the Kindred barterer for the Malledhrim (Mirkwood Offensive). The cost for the mount is the same as the previous Mirkwood mount.
- Resolved an issue where players attempting to purchase Destiny Perks from the LOTRO Store were not being directed to the correct page.
- Resolved a sound issue during Skorgim’s Resurrection.
- Players should now receive the correct faction reputation for quests in the Mounshaws.

Sapience posted today about how Turbine will be re-opening the Bullroarer test server with a “Beta” version of Mirkwood’s first major patch (which is tentatively scheduled for a late January release). Although there is not an official version of the patch notes released yet (and we all know how much he loves the patch notes) he does offer up some of the features.
