Rested XP is Functionally 15% http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.php?&postid=6806704#post6806704 This is working as intended. "In short, the VIP XP bar is working as intended, and as it always had. Before U11, monster kills would consume the increased amount of Rest XP. For example, killing a monster that was worth 100 XP while rested would give 200 XP, and consume 200 Rest XP. Nothing has changed about that." The Spring festival has ended. Steed of Rhun is in the Store http://www.danania.net/2013/06/steed-of-rhun.html FYI: This cosmetic used to drop out of the Warband boxes. Speaking of Steeds Cari was in the store yesterday and the Steed of Minas Eithel and the Steed of Bright days were listed at 1295 TP. I swear they were. Skirmish Barrow downs Survival is down. Nobody seems to know why this is no longer on the list. We can only assume it was a very bad bug, because Turbine does leave skirmishes and raids up if they are mostly working. Draigoch the Jabberwocky! http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.php?512944-Fun-New-U11-Draigoch-bug Draigoch's body is getting redrawn at the start position during Phase 1, and invisible (but present) at the other positions. This means the head and body are still visible. Most of the other posts are saying other weird things are happening and he will glitch on phase 3. This instance needs to be fixed and we need more bug reports to get it done. Muppet Show: Play at 1:00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGCJFFxoHJ4 Cari talk. With Cari! TeeHee!
