The Spring Festival is a wonderful time to get together with one another and enjoy the warmer weather. The sun is out shining longer, and the grass is greener. There’s no reason not to sit down and have a pint (or two) with your fellow Man.
Tents & Tables
It’s not a proper Spring Festival gathering if there aren’t any colorful tents to ward off sun and rain, or sturdy tables to sit at, now is it?

Well the new content has arrived for the EU market after some minor drama, though nothing as grand as last Autumn's F2P delay. I instantly got stuck into the continuing Epic storyline, as I find this the most enjoyable aspect of LOTRO these days. I won't give too much away but session play occurs quite quickly and it is very enjoyable. Turbine do a good job of including a mixture of lore from Middle Earth history and it is nice to be able to interact with characters outside of the existing time line.

As of 14:00GMT, Codemasters brought the patching servers online for EU LOTRO players. This will patch the current installation with "Update 2. Echoes Of The Dead" and the hotfix for the relic combining issue that manifested itself on Monday in the US. When the game servers are brought online at 15:00 GMT, the delayed Spring Festival will be available as well as the new content.

Codemasters QA team have approved "Update 2. Echoes Of The Dead" and the subsequent hotfix. Both will be deployed tomorrow as part of the standard Thursday maintenance. However, players have been requested not to leave characters in any instance that gives gloom. These include The Vile Maw, Sammath Gûl and Dar Narbugud. The removal of the radiance mechanic seems to leave characters with permanent dread if left inside one of these instances during the update. Apart from this minor caveat, hopefully there will be no further delays and by late afternoon on Thursday, EU players will be able to enjoy the new content and the Spring Festival.

Friday I did some more skirmishing, got some more Spring Leaf tokens and finally, after 3 years of life, got my ‘main’ up to level 45! Only 20 more levels to go… *sigh* well, I will catch up to my kinship eventually eh?
Before I get on with the post, I hope that you lucky suckers (yeah, suckers… *pout*) are having fun up at PAX East.. be sure to visit the Turbine Booth and harangue them for not giving me a free pass/transportation/hotel! Just kidding on the harangue part, but visit our great Turbine folks anyway

That’s right, Sapience (a community manager of the LotRO forums) posted a reply to this thread regarding the NPC that sells the documents for the Spring Festival Horse. When the festival launched the Naughty NPC was selling the documents at cut throat prices, apparently in an attempt to bankrupt his boss. Instead of selling them for 1.6 gold (for folks who already have purchased a mount in the past) or 4 gold (for folks who are buying their first mount) he was selling them for 3 silver / 7 silver (respectively).
Turbine jumped in pretty quick and disabled this naughty vendor, and people have been wondering when he will make a return – Sapience stated that it would require a client side patch due to the nature of the bug, and that the patch would happen closer to the Anniversary date (April 24th). He did say, however, that the festival would be extended or re-enabled [whichever necessary] in order for folks to turn in their tokens and get the documents for their horses.

So over Monday and Tuesday I managed to do a few Skirmishes – even managing to fail one I have done successfully before :/. Finished off a few deeds with those skirmishes, and moved my way closer to a new level and a new look for my soldier.
The big thing for this week, though, is the Lord of the Rings Online Spring Festival. It started up yesterday and will likely run for about a month or so (no guarantees). Read beyond the break for more.
