Casual Stroll to Mordor

Turbine has added to the launcher a new sale for those looking to get the Rise of Isengard complete expansion! Today until May 14th, you can get the Rise of Isengard expansion for 50% off.

The day starts with a lack of Freeps on in the Ettenmoors and so I decided we would not rest until we killed the 990,000 Delving Boss.

The ROI expansion bundle is available in the game and wanted alert others in case they weren’t aware and perhaps waiting for this information.

I don’t know what it is, but maybe you’ll know what I’m talking about. You’re leveling in Dunland; maybe it’s your first time or maybe it’s your third. And you’re following all the right steps. But you know what’s lurking around the corner? Defeat.

Ssenir of the blog LOTRO Library alerted us to a giveaway he is having on his blog that you may be interested in!

Tomorrow Turbine is having another one day sale on the Rise of Isengard package from the Turbine Web Store in case you missed this offering after Thanksgiving!

Starting with Update 5 launch on Monday, all of the pieces of the Rise of Isengard expansion will be available to purchase in the in-game LOTRO Store.

The Rise of Isengard Expansion will be 50% off one day only on November 25th!

The release notes for today’s downtime have been posted!

So here are my thoughts on the ROI expansion, mostly as they relate to my play time on my minstrel. These are just some thoughts as they come to mind; I’m probably missing a bunch of stuff I meant to include in this post.

We have special guest Justin “Syp” Olivetti of Bio Break and Massively joining us on the show discussing how we are enjoying Isengard.

In a truant, but welcome Developer Diary Jeff “MadeOfLions” Libby discusses the new Epic Storyline released with The Rise of Isengard expansion as well as some of the technology used in creating it.

In this video we take a look at Draigoch’s opening monologue and then a brief up-close look at the dragon itself.

Like many people playing minstrels, when I first logged on to LOTRO, the first thing I thought was “O.M.G. What the heck happened to my buttons”?

Did you think that the Developer Diaries were over? Well, frankly so did we. However, proving us wrong yesterday saw the release of a Developer Diary containing information about Dunland itself by Jessie “Vastin” King.

Zam is hosting a LOTRO themed giveaway with some pretty great prizes!

The pre-order options for Isengard are gone but there are a couple options available to buy now that Isengard is live.

With every major release there are always issues with plugins no matter what game you play. Usually this can be resolved by changing the plugin’s code so that it matches any changes that were made, but in some cases it’s because something went wrong in the way Lua was implemented by the company.

Rise of Isengard has officially launched and Turbine has shared a launch trailer and some new screenshots of new monsters.
