Poll: How Much Would You Pay For The Beorning?
Brax’s pick of the week: Friends Don’t Let Friends Tank Balrogs by Tim Turner, March 2006.
“Does this mean that raids will never find their way into LOTRO? Not at all, raids are truly a different topic requiring their own discussion.
While there are currently no plans to incorporate raids into LOTRO, there is one more type of hybrid content style. What makes a hybrid content style, you ask? Some areas of the world require a group effort to defeat foes; after all Fellowships are at the core of the world, are they not? These areas will be difficult but survivable, and will likely feature some of the most difficult enemies in Middle-earth.” – Allen Maki (Orion)

Fredelas left a comment on the Sapience Teases News article:
“1. There will be a new lair raid, similar to the turtle, available for 1495 TP.
2. This raid will only be playable by Beornings, to highlight their multiple combat roles, avoid complicated class balance issues, and simplify loot tables. Beornings available for 1495 TP.
3. Non-Beornings will be able to transform into bears at a cost of 25 mithril coins per 2 hours.”
Ethelros also left a comment on the Sapience Teases News article:
“Elves could never turn into bears. They’re incapable of growing enough hair.”

Hi, Everyone, I have found that my LM has done every available quest (except the bounty for the two animals that appear to be behind the wall of level 100 mobs at Targant’s Crown(Sure I spelled that wrong). I heard Layanor say they formed a RAID of 24 to go in there and the respawn rate is so fast, people were dying. Anyway, I’ve done every quest I could find and I’m still only 98, so I started skirming to get to 100. Is there some hidden pocket of quests I may have missed??? Someone said they’d heard that from a few people, that there don’t seem to be enough quests to get a character from 95 clear to 100. Please clarify for me.
Thanks for the show. Please tell Mys she can do kareoke whenever she wants.
