Casual Stroll to Mordor

I have been accused in the past of being a little crazy when it comes to cosmetics. Of course, this accusation came from a certain warden who has worn the same outfit for the past two years. Recently, however, I’ve begun to think there may be something to that charge…

I’ve always been of the opinion that one can never leave a hobbit unattended and expect them to stay out of trouble. This goes doubly so for hobbit minstrels when the person controlling said minstrel decides that right now, in the middle of Angmar is the perfect spot to stop and take some pictures.

Around the time Riders of Rohan launched, the LOTRO Store had a war-steed cosmetic set called the “Bone Set”.

Air New Zealand and WETA Workshop joined forces to bring the world what has to be the best in-flight safety video ever.

Cosmetics have long been one of my favorite aspects of playing LOTRO. Upgrades to my wardrobe and outfit slots were purchased almost as soon as they became available. I figured dressing up my horses would be no different.

One question repeatedly asked with Rohan’s launch is “Where did the Guild Halls go?!”

Lately there have been rumors of treasure buried in Ered Luin. Dwarves have been seen carrying pick-axes and trained cave-claws up into the hills in search of hidden riches. Now the rumors have been confirmed and it’s your turn to get a chance at the treasure!

When looking for new and interesting outfits for my captain, I often find myself drawn to gear intended for other classes. Lately, I seem to gravitate toward minstrel pieces.

When comparing the different pre-order options for Riders of Rohan, one of the selling points for the Legendary Edition is “Exclusive Rohan Content”. What does that mean exactly? What are you missing out on if you don’t order this edition of the expansion?

Ever since the Steel-bound Loot-boxes started appearing in game, I’ve been watching carefully to see if anyone would find the Marrow Painted Steed that was listed as being a possible reward in the boxes.

This month’s LOTRO Store Staff Picks has my mind boggled. The theme is “5 Most Critical Items to Bring to a Raid” and I have to say, it had Elb and I laughing our heads off.

As per usual, new patch notes have me looking for anything mentioning updates to livestock and fertilizer.

Recently, upon hearing that there was adventure to be had, a corrupt wizard to challenge and rumors of pie (hey, they’ve got to have some food in there…), some kinmates and I decided to break into Isengard to help do our part in ridding Middle-earth of evil.

I’ve heard Lore-masters complain from time to time that they don’t like being thought of as nothing more than a battery for their group, as if they are only there to supply power on demand. Well, now they can rest easy because captains can now step up to the plate and be generators for their [...]

I’ll admit it. I’m weak. A new horse comes out and I must have it now. (Well, except for the Steed of Bright Days, but that one wasn’t really my style…) Anyway, when I saw the preview picture for the Steed of the Hunter, I knew it was only a matter of time before it [...]
