What do you love the most about the new and improved Yule Festival?
I love the new horse race! It’s a challenge, but against your own skill rather than the luck of latency. The new cosmetics and beer fight are a close one too

Since it was my first Yule Festival… it was GREAT!!! I liked everything, including… everything!
December 26, 2009 at 5:04 pm

December 27, 2009 at 11:17 am

Without a doubt it is the return of the horse races that WORK properly with the new mount system along with the snazzy new racetracks. Nothing out there like it in another MMO.
December 28, 2009 at 1:24 am
I like the beer fight the best. It is fun to be able to knock people around without really hurting them. And it is cool that you can fly across the room.
December 28, 2009 at 1:38 am
I really like the cosmetics and the gifts that you can get from bartering tokens. They are a great addition to any house or wardobe!
December 29, 2009 at 8:10 am
I like the snow horse. They are awesome!!!!
December 29, 2009 at 10:26 pm
What do you love the most about the new and improved Yule Festival?
The barfight of course! I really like the cosmetic items as well, but the barfight is so much fun and the titles that go with it are also a plus.
I have to mention the horse race, too. It’s even more challenging than the drunken fence run in Brockenbrorings.

Got to be the new mounts and the beer fight (clubbing 200 people for a title – great idea!)

What do you love the most about the new and improved Yule Festival?
I particularly like the new “snow dusted travelling hat” as I actually own a hat that looks very similar to it in real life.
the new horse race is nice too.

What do you love the most about the new and improved Yule Festival?
My favorites are the items occupying my cosmetic slots! I was searching long and hard for that perfect look for my Rune-Keeper, and Turbine put them right in front of me! Not to be overlooked, however, are the methods of getting the coins. The beer fight was some of the greatest fun I had in days.

The Beer Fight FTW!!!!!!
December 31, 2009 at 1:12 pm
While I love that the devs, at long last, got horse racing to work, I have to say…
BEER FIGHTS FTW!!
December 31, 2009 at 2:29 pm
The thing I like best of course BEER FIGHT

Wow, it’s a toss up between the beer fight and the new race course, I’ll opt for beer fight. The challenge is fun and the story is great. I whack my friends and steal the beer. What could be more fun!

What do you love the most about the new and improved Yule Festival?
For me, the Glorious Beer-fight is the most fun/amusing festival event I have seen. It has some pretty good competition for favorite part of the festival, though, if you add in the new cosmetic outfits. The cloaks especially are wonderful.
So I’ll cheat a bit and say my favorite event is the beer-fight and my favorite items are the new cloaks.

Cosmetics! Overall- it just seemed like a great new update. Turbine always takes such good care of their players! The fixed horse races are nice too now that it’s easier to have more than one mount!
January 4, 2010 at 6:06 pm
I absolutely LOVED the beer brawl. I had so much fun with my kin playing “Bounce the Dwarf”. What a great way to get Inn League Rep also. I wish it was a year around event.

I definitely liked the cosmetics; the snow detailing is awesome! I also really enjoyed the Shire Yule quests. Serving Lobelia those papers was a hoot!
Also, the Yule horses were beautiful, and the races were very fun.

This years Yule festival is all around awesome. My favorite parts though are 1) the changes to the horse race and 2) the ability to toss dwarves and hobbits in the beer fight. What an awesome mini-game!

What do you love the most about the new and improved Yule Festival?
I played last year about this time for a little over a month. I am now returning after a heavy diet of WoW, EQII, and AION. LOTR has my heart is seems as I am now a one game woman.
The Yule festival’s addition of the beer fights was my favorite new part. Why? Because it allowed my very good friend to do it over and over and over to get me nice gift packs. I also like flying around the room. And the beer.
*crosses fingers for adventurer pack and cool mount*
Thanks guys for your blog and lovely podcast! Giving me my LOTRO fix in a couple of ways!
