Leading an UNimportant Chicken to the Hornburg

Posted by in Events, LOTRO | 4 comments

This chicken is having a REALLY rough day.

It’s not easy being lunch in Middle-earth!

Some LOTRO players may remember the live-streamed events that Rick “Sapience” Heaton started a little over a year ago: Taking the Hobbit to Isengard (T.T.H.T.I.). This was followed up by the Strategic Hobbit Incursion to Evacuate Lost Dwarves (better known as S.H.I.E.L.D.). The current community manager, Andy “Frelorn” Cataldo, has continued the trend with his weekly Thursday Fun with Frelorn. Frelorn and Turbine have also implemented the LOTRO StreamTeam (more on this later), and one of the people on the team, our very own Arathaert, is starting a new Wednesday evening LOTROstream series: Leading an UNimportant Chicken to the Hornburg, a.k.a. L.UN.C.H.

The plan is to go through each server with a timer on to see which can successfully get his chicken to the Hornburg the fastest… all the way up to Théoden. The runs will begin at Sandson’s Farm in the Shire [32.1S, 74.4W] on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. EST/EDT, with a maximum of two and a half hours (the time limit on the session play) and one death.

The first event will be this Wednesday, March 4, 2015 starting at 7 p.m. EST with the Landroval server. Arathaert intends to visit two servers a week, and this week’s second server will be Gladden, at around 9 p.m. EST (or possibly later, depending on how long the Landroval run takes). Everyone is welcome either in-game or in the Twitch chat (or both) at twitch.tv/LOTROstream.

While the schedule is currently tentative, here’s what the lineup looks like (Updated March 10):

Mar. 4th – Landroval & Gladden

Mar. 11th – Gilrain & Bullroarer

Mar. 18th – Evernight & Elendilmir

Mar. 25th – Withywindle & Crickhollow

Apr. 1st – Laurelin & Brandywine

Apr. 8th – Snowbourn & Arkenstone

Apr. 15th – Anduin & Vilya

Apr. 22nd – Vanyar & Meneldor

May 6th – Gwaihir & Silverlode

May 13th – Sirannon & Imladris

May 20th – Maiar & Firefoot

May 27th – Estel & Riddermark

Jun. 3rd- Eldar & Dwarrowdelf

    Wow – this sounds like a fun event! Ridiculous, but fun nonetheless!

    Just a question though: you seem to have the May dates listed as April as well…

    Count me in for the Riddermark run though! I’ll try to rally the troops 🙂
