It is with a heavy heart that we have to announce the end of A Casual Stroll to Mordor. Merric and I have been talking for months now. It’s been something weighing very heavily on our minds.

One of the few disappointing pieces of information that came out of the announcement of the Helms Deep expansion was that Chance Thomas will not be returning to create the music for the area. However, recently the crew over at the Battle Bards podcast sat down to talk about the amazing work he’s done for LOTRO.

We mentioned this on the last two podcasts but I wanted to post a quick note here for those of you who do not tune in. Merric and I are officially on vacation for the next two weeks! What this means is there will be no news posts, no store sale post and no podcast. [...]

This week we discuss the upcoming launch of Update 11 and the developer diaries that released this past week.
