Listen now: What We Did in Game Bill Trying to sort out story quest / epic battle Done Helm’s Dike and Deeping Wall Deeping Wall was confusing as everything - especially the culvert side quest Cari Leveling on Ali on Brandywine Level 93 Running around Adelburg. I’m amazed at what a good job they did with the oldness of the city. News Patch 12.2 Is live https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?540239-Update-12-2-Release-Notes-Official Addressing “Macroing” issues Certain classes were able to cause some skills to ignore their cooldowns, causing a situation where those skills could be used repeatedly and rapidly on their target.

They are well aware that it’s going to be a need for the next few updates. They recognize things are a bit too easy in most places and will continue to adjust as needed.

Where do you get feedback to bring back to the dev team Everywhere. Forums, comments in the HtoI events and ones like it, twitter, facebook, comments on gaming articles, fansites, kinship sites, even youtube comments. Turbine contributing prizing for events like Winterstock A lot of people aren’t aware, but if you send Sapience a PM on the forums and let him know your event and when it is, if he can get any prizing for you he will. Update 13 when will we hear more Sooner than you probably think. He’s actually working on stuff right now. There are area revamps planned (yes, plural).

He thinks Merric and Goldenstar were together before LotRO so their baby doesn’t count. He doesn’t know of anyone who met, married and had a kid via LotRO.
