Howdy guys, I have been a lurker here for ages just never made an account until today.  Most of you know me from the original forums.  Looks like my days there are done as Cord has banned myself and a couple others (Hurin) is one, over this thread https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?668041-New-quot-Legendary-quot-server-fails    His reasoning for giving me a permaban was for fighting.  I created a alt account and sent a PM asking fighting with who because one of the white knights had created a sock puppet named MoveOnPal and spent days attacking me on a persona ..read more

I only recently learned about this: the native Mac version was discontinued a couple years back. Instead they shipped the Windows version with Wine (a Unix to Windows API translator). That might even have worked for a while. But the Windows port of LOTRO is still 32 bit, forcing the use of a 32 bit Wine. MacOS since Catalina doesn't support 32 bit binaries anymore, including emulated ones via Wine. Maximum shoot-into-foot by neglecting the build. Just move to 64 bits already ..read more

From the Bullroarer thread for Update 32, end January 2022: Quote Quote Player response: Just to be blunt about the Reward Track as it currently looks regardless of where it might be Design-wise for it's possible Update 32 Launch: It currently is Pathetic. Looks pathetic and feels like no really work has been done. Really, after 3 Public Delays for the Reward Track where has the main amount of work been done? And yes, I know work has been done but it doesn't SHOW. And if it hadn't been Delayed 3 times on a Scale of 1 to 10 & 10 being a Complete System, it honestly seems like it would ..read more

Tomorrow the game will see some maintenance and 'an updated LOTRO.com will be launched'. Quite interesting that we get that update now, and I have no idea whether old forum content will survive. So here are, for posterity's sake, a few more highlights from our much beloved developer and some of the responses he received. I am making a second thread about another discussion with some priceless discussion beside this one, because it becomes way too much when a second post in this thread would be merged with the first post. Bear with me. This is from the 'Comments on the new reward track' thread ..read more

Hello! For those of you who may not know who I am, I’m Raninia, the producer on The Lord of the Rings: Online. Severlin hasn’t gone anywhere, but I’m now picking up the duties of writing these letters and keeping you all abreast of the goings-on with the game.   Which brings me to another change being made to these letters – moving forward, these letters will come quarterly, and they’ll cover the next quarter. So today, I’ll be informing you what we’re planning to do from January through the end of March. Next time – which should be around March – I'll give a preview of what’s coming betw ..read more
