It’s been a while since I’ve written anything, and it’s been about equally as long since I’ve played LOTRO for any significant amount of time. It’s also been a busy month, with swine flu in our house, work obligations ramping up [...]

Vile Maw V 2.0 has not seen that much action since book 7 was released.  Between a new fight strat and the need for a full set of radiance gear it just has been an empty shell.
Some changes are coming for book 8 however. Not all details are in but Amlug did post about a [...]

The topic of player names and what violates the LOTRO Naming Policy has been the subject of debate in the forums before. When the game went live, there were a number of threads where players were debating player names. Some have even argued that bad names take away from their enjoyment of the [...]

MadeofLions gives us a little precious information concerning the upcoming book 9 found in the Shores of Evendim. He revealed this information while answering a question concerning the order of the Epic Quest line.

Book 8 is actually in the game already and takes place deep in Angmar. The one that’s coming with ‘Shores of [...]
