Wildermore and checking in with the Grey Company STO Review News Update 11.1 6/12/2013 http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.php?514845-Update-11.1-Release-Notes-%96-Official You will no longer be able to complete a quest by talking to an NPC or by using the remote-bestow quest completion button while you are in combat. This will prevent certain exploits. Players can now return to the world select without having to fully exit and restart the client. Returning to Server Select: Open the Launcher Menu (the down arrow) and selection Options – Check “Show the Launcher in the system tray”. After you do this the launcher will not close after you hit play and launch the client. So if you quit the game you will still be at the server select screen. Despite the name of this option it does not run the launcher in the system tray, it just keeps it open. The option below this which says, “Minimize the launcher to only the system tray” can be checked, but currently does not minimize the launcher. An issue preventing multiple clients from running on a single machine has been addressed. Running Multiple Clients: Open the Launcher Menu (the down arrow) and select Options – “Check Allow multiple game instances”. If you have not also checked the “show launcher”, then you just need to hit play, the launcher closes, once the client has started you can run the launcher again and start a new game client. If you have enabled “show launcher” on, then you hit play, the client launches, and the launcher remains open. You then need to open the Launcher Menu and select Logout. Then you can login with another account and hit play. If you do not logout you can still hit play, but this will boot the account from the other client. New travel skills have been added to the People of Wildermore Barter NPCs to quickly take players to Forlaw. Fixed an issue that caused player-made music to be inaudible under certain circumstances. Did You Know Rather than attempt to match speeds with a landscape mob (mounted) on my warsteed using the "W" and "S" keys, I've found a much better method - not using them at all. What I do is map a hotbar button to the "/follow" command.  You can do this by typing the following: /shortcut ## /follow ... where ## is the position in the shortcut bar.  You can always move it once it is created, but it will overwrite a current shortcut if you don't put it in a blank spot to being with. So, at the outset of the fight with a mounted enemy, I will click on them, then click on this shortcut.  If the enemy is at a distance, my steed will approach at max speed.  As soon as the enemy runs, this will keep me at the enemy's speed and I will ride right next to them - until I adjust the speed or the course manually (which will disengage the follow). Hope this assists you with your combat!
