This week’s update is live from Cologne, Germany where Turbine is presenting at GamesCom.
Mentioned as coming this week from Turbine:
- Trivia throughout the week on LOTRO’s twitter for swag giveaways
- Dev Diary for Loremasters
- Dev Diary for Minstrel
- Freepeople’s press featuring LOTRO Interface
- New track from Chance Thomas
Sapience also mentioned an update later this week. I’m guessing as a sort of wrap-up from GamesCom which will be nice to see.

I’m guessing it wasnt Chance Thomas in the background promoting the new instrument for mini’s in RoR.

I hope he gives the guy at least 5 Euro’s. Personally, I miss Germany. I spent 2 years there. The LM dev diary is awesome stuff!

*snort* You aren’t actually outside of Cologne, you are still very much inside it, even though you’re on the “wrong” side of the Rhine.
And it’s kind of hilarious to use the Cathedral as your backdrop and then put your head on top of it. Oh, tourists.

Heh, that sounded more cranky than I actually feel.
So, a tidbit of lovely information: If you look at the bridge railing, you should see small, colourful things there – that’s because it’s the Love Padlock Bridge http://www.stuttgarter-nachrichten.de/media.media.8d270cdf-98bd-4391-a820-1ffb019d75a6.normalized.jpeg where couples leave locks as a symbol of their love. Just recently a man who stole a lot of them to sell for scrap metal got convicted and got quite a heavy sentence.
