Frelorn posted on the Forums of some upcoming downtime
The LOTRO Game Servers will be brought down on Wednesday, January 7th from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM Eastern (-5 GMT) for a hotfix. Thanks for your patience, and we’ll see you back in the game soon!
Nothing was mentioned as to what this hotfix is for.
Notes are out (and supposedly worlds up and running but I’m at work so cannot confirm that!)
AND Exploit fixed and Reputation Items are now gated behind levels 🙁
