Turbine hires some new directors http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/10/19/turbine-hires-rolston-game-industry-veterans-for-high-level-pos/ Ken Rolston - Director of Design role at Turbine His works include - Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning - (executive designer) Morrowind - (lead designer) Oblivion - (lead designer) Alan Villani - Vice President of Technology and responsible for driving "online engagement and monetization." His works include - Mortal Kombat Jai Singh - Director of technical operations Former manager of Zynga who has done - Turbine plans to remove the extra 20 cosmetic slots in update 8.1 "VIPs were incorrectly awarded an additional 20 shared wardrobe slots with Update 8. Due to this error several store offers for shared storage are not working correctly for VIPs and have been disabled. This issue will be resolved in Update 8.1. The additional slots will be removed from VIPs and the correct store offers returned to the LOTRO Store. We strongly encourage all VIPS to not use the additional slots as items stored in those slots may become unavailable when 8.1 goes live." The theory is, if you have 106 of 110 slots currently as a VIP. It will change to 106 of 90 when update 8.1 goes live. The only functional difference for you is that can not add anything to the wardrobe unless you buy 20 more slots. You can use the 106 items any way you like. You remove an item. You will go to 105 of 90. You can't put a replacement item under to reach 89 of 90. This is not confirmed tho and only a theory. Some have said those 20 slots will lock. Others say those 20 will just be deleted. Even if something is in the slot.
