Summary: Cari and Layanor have mail. We have three letters this week, talk about Hobbits to Isengard and Hobnoingans. Audio Version: What We Did in Game Layanor 27.81 moors fangorn kindred 2 leafs away from second legendary weapons scroll chicken hockey Cari Did some Lowbie Leveling Did some questing in the Westfold News Hobnonigans Were Live May 9-11 https://www.lotro.com/en/hobnanigans Taking the Hobbits To Isengard https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?539143-Hobbits-to-Isengard-Q-A-with-Sapience-notes-on-what-was-said Are there any plans for bulk relic combination Not for U14 as far as he knows, no real plans. It’s something that comes up and has been discussed by the devs before, but there’s no definite plans for it at this point. Any plans for store purchase mounts to be account-wide There are a lot of discussions about it. It’s not something that’s easy to do in terms of value proposition because when something is account-wide then the value goes up and then they need to think about how much the price should go up, how much will people pay, etc. They do talk about account-wide options but he doesn’t know whether they’ll ever convert them all to account-wide. Siege weapons for the Moors were under consideration, are they still Yes. Anything new you can share about the Spring Festival Yes, they’ve got some new stuff coming. He won’t say much beyond that, because there were some discussions and he’s not sure what got added and didn’t get added. Any plans for chicken play to return to the Moors He’s tried on a number of occasions to convince someone to go back over that quest – it was an April Fool’s Day quest – and see if they can’t do something with it. It’s really low priority, but he will keep pushing. He plotted and schemed for what seems like forever to get Hobnanigans back in the game, so he never says die when it comes to things involving chickens. Especially when it involves chickens getting kicked or pummeled or stabbed. Question about culled content, space combat panel They discovered awhile back that players were using the LUA scripting to pull information from the game that they were putting in there for future updates, so they decided to have fun with that and put crazy things in there that weren’t ever going to happen or might have happened under radically different names, conditions and circumstances. So the space combat panel was a red herring. And one that worked, apparently. Can you tell us what the horseshoe does It does absolutely nothing that we think it does, and everything he’s said it does in the past. The first thing it ever did was it changed one sentence in one quest in the epic storyline immediately after we get the horseshoe if we have it equipped. That was its original purpose. Since then devs have continued to add to it, but he doesn’t know of anything lately. He will say that if you’re participating in the snowball fights, we should definitely wear our horseshoes. It does impact that slightly. Suggestion to turn on all festivals at once for the winning server He says the thought of that is really scary. He runs that by the ecommerce manager just to see the look on his face. No, he thinks that if he suggested that, the engineers and server teams would freak out. But the marketing guy was writing something in his book, and he’s afraid to ask what. Did You Know Rep Items from the new crafting instances are used for the Helmingas Clipped Ears Damaged Furs Shattered Hatchets Torn Skins 3-Mans Monday’s at 9PST 12 EST.

I wanted to tell you about the time I was put in jail (or "gaol," as Tolkien would spell it). This was back when horses were items you carried in your pack. I had accidentally sold my new Bree-steed.
