“You may already be aware of this issue, but in case not here is the forum link telling how to avoid the Store always opening every time TP has been earned. It has helped me keep calm; am anxiously awaiting U17 for the permanent fix.

Also wanted to say thank you for keeping us all up to date regarding the world transfers. I don’t always get to keep up on the forums so your podcast is very helpful. World chat has renamed our server “Everlag”. But it’s a good problem so far. There is more interest in pugs for the older instances and there is excitement even on the off-peak time for EU.

One comment

  1. There was a “blue name” post on the forums awhile back that stated that the new server tech was so good, that all the US could be on one server, and all the EU could be on one server. If that was the case, then a “small” event like Bullroarer (compared to the whole of the LOTRO population), should not have been a problem – let alone cause issues in areas way outside of Bree. So, either they A) cranked the new sever tech way down for testing / info gathering purposes, or B) someone severely overstated the capabilities of the new servers. Hopefully it is (A)… please let it be (A)…
