With the delay in the build out we decided to open that server as well to those player who have been waiting as the additional hardware would help with the additional population. We will do an analysis this week to see how the servers are holding up and if we need to can close transfers again as needed.<br>  <br> Prizes from the Stress Test<br> <a href="https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?&amp;postid=7481775#post7481775">https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?&amp;postid=7481775#post7481775</a><br> We aim to have the prizes sent out in the next couple of days.

On that site we will have all the relevant and new information. Right now due to how the current site works it is a very labor intensive and often frustrating process to get new pages like that up and working. Rather than doing that I am focused on making sure the new site will have updated pages and information.<br>  <br> Community<br> Operation Hardi Claus <br> Hosted by Roxxi Manor where we give out crafted crit weapons, class items and food stuffs to lower level players. We start 2-3 weeks before Yule Tidings and it runs for about a week afterwards. Lots of music, fireworks, dancing and merry making by our Roxxi Volunteer Elves! Our official kick off November 28th at 2:30pm est &amp; 7:00pm est. We will start in Combe and move to Archet, Staddle, Thorin’s Hall, &amp; Celondim. This year we are adding some level 20 areas in as well, so be on the lookout for the Roxxi mob! We have a large band that will bring out the Christmas music, fireworks, dancing, and just all around fun. We will be in these areas several nights a week. So be sure to look out for us! We have done this every Yule season since the game started and will continue to do so til the servers shut down!<br> Thank you,<br> Kin Leaders Hardiroxx &amp; Saxiroxx, Officers/Council RM<br>  <br> Winterstock III is coming in January.<br> <a href="https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?580762-Winterstock-III-(Jan-15-18-2016)&amp;s=0b779089dbe73ef21fe331744e3afc0a">https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?580762-Winterstock-III-(Jan-15-18-2016)</a>
