Episode 155: Don’t Crappin Know

This week we had new class dev diaries, more Rohan music, new store exclusive class steed and more!

This week Merric joined Goldenstar’s Dum Time in Fil Gashan and all the outfit silliness inside. We did complete hard mode in this dungeon though!

Merric’s Captain is now level 60! He is done with Moria and will be heading to Mirkwood.

Raise Your Glass

Gail aka Sigela

I have been trying to comment on blog items at CSTM and I frequently get taken to a screen that says “Cheating huh?” when I try to submit them. I don’t understand why.

I’m using the same name and address in the post that has been used and successfully moderated previously, the web address is left blank because I don’t have one, the comment is of significant length to carry content (at least 100 words by my estimate of the last one).

Can you shed any light on the problem and point me to a solution, please?

Thank you.

I just want to say that I love Merric’s plugin reviews, and was wondering if you were coming out with anymore any time soon. I think that they are a good way to find out what some plugins do and if you need them. If you do come out with some more videos I would be very happy. I am a big fan of your podcast and of baby hobbit.

Hi, i am Saelyth from Riddermark Server, i’ve been following your blog for a loooong time now. I’m mostly a raider and i remember when you guys made a review of some plugins.

I’m actually working on a plugin that could make the raiding easier for everyone when people is new to the raid or instance. It’s intended to be as well good for Skirmishes.

At this moment i have an Alpha version working for testing and feedback, it haves an almost finished guide of Ost Dunhoth, i encourage you to give it yourself and see how the OD raid wings looks like.

If i’m sending this mail is because it takes a lot of work to have screenshots of all debuffs and i would appreciate if you post something about that in the blog.

They can send screenshots to Saelyth@hotmail.com with the title: Lotro Plugin Screenshots.

Thank you if you do me that favor, no worries if you don’t.

Take care!.

Hey guys, love the podcast and was wondering if you could help me get the word out about something. I’ve setup an open Mumble Voice chat server for the Brandywine community to use. Right now the server is just temporary to see if people are interested in this idea. Although I’m targeting the Brandywine community, it’s not limited to just that server.  Everyone is welcome whether they are in-game or out.

Details can be found on the Brandywine forums at http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.php?472465-Public-Mumble-Voice-Server

Server: mumble.lotrodepot.com

Port: 36125

Thanks!
