A Developer Diary, written by Joe ‘”jwbarry” Barry, was released today focusing again on the Isengard Cluster that came with Update 5.

Elliot ‘Avon’ Gilman released a Developer Diary covering a subject that was actually brought up in our recent interview with Turbine, which is the change of reputation items into consumable items.

Leo “Ransroth” Zelevinsky wrote a great Developer Diary about the new Instance Finder coming up on Update 5. Actually, it’s not so much a traditional Developer Diary as much as it is a tutorial similar to Goldenstar’s about how to use the Instance finder utilizing a system of questions and answers that he has received from the community.

This week it took us not one, not two but THREE tries to actually record the “What We Did” segment so please forgive if our hearts are not in it by the time we actually got it recorded!
