It seems as if the hamster did not want to run on the wheel.. There is a problem with the server that it’s showing DOWN for some people, but others can log in (According to some posts on the official forums)
Raina posted that Turbine is aware of the issue and is working on a fix.
I apologize. We are hoping to get this fixed asap. However with the long holiday weekend for the US, this may take a bit.

Bullroarer is now open for testing of Patch 14.2
There are quite a few things going in this patch..
The Dead Marshes
Return to the Caves of the Avorrim in West Gondor and speak to Dorthaneth to begin your adventure into the Dead Marshes.
Collections
Using shift C or via the arrow menu, open the Collections menu to view and inspect Mount and Pet collections.
Skirmish Traits
Higher level skirmish soldier traits are now more potent. These adjustments were made to impact mitigations, armour, power, and morale. DPS and Tank typed Skirmish traits received the most attention. Threat and healing were not adjusted. You can also purchase access to more tiers of Skirmish traits via the LOTRO store.
Special note! Note: Bullroarer has had a database wipe. All previous characters are gone. Please use the Bullroarer Character Copy to copy your characters over to the server, or create new characters using the Eyes and Guard Tavern!
So get that client updates and enjoy the marshes!
More tiers for the soldiers only through the store ? Hmmmmm.
I don’t see this as too big of a deal. I’m no Pineleaf, but I thought all of the prior soldier tier upgrades were bundled with the purchase of full expansion packs, via real $$$ or I assume purchasing the expansion in the store for TP.
As this is not an expansion, but they still worked on the late-game skirmish soldier, they decided to add the additional ranks to go with the non-expansion level boost of W. Gondor. As such, instead of charging real $$$ for the ranks (’cause it wasn’t an expansion), it is instead being sold separately as a store purchase.
You’re actually right I completely forgot that new soldier tiers have been on the store for a while now.
Haven’t bought any new tier in so long it wasn’t on my radar.
Am I the only one who doesn’t care at all at skirmish soldier? Have never felt the need to use it ever in a skirmish
You play a warden, don’t you.
