Week In LOTRO
Andang
- Met Horn’s father
- Went down down to Goblin Town
- Bingo leveling stream with Pine and Teri
Karvett
- Teach the Dunlendings in Tal Methadras how to fight. Oh Yeah? I hit things with my club and then I get mad… and turn into a bear. Copy that!
- Healed all three Garth Agarwen instances on my F2P mini, only death… myself.
- Finally got Mrs Karv to meet the spiders of Mirkwood. She was not amused, but the rest of us sure were!
Maven
- Went to a deserted Goblintown to find a dead dwarf
- Started my minstrel on the Narsil quest to prep for doing Tomb of Elendil with Gryfflet in January
- Ran through a school, a library, a hobbit town and a ruin with a bunch of bats
Teriadwyn
- Led the Academy field trip through Urugarth: nobody got lost, and we had only one party member die.
- Led the way through some Mirkwood questing, mostly without getting lost.
- Played LOTRO Paper Dolls and made a new outfit for Teriadwyn; also re-outfitted Dangsong.
Pineleaf
- Ran Survival: Barrow Downs and Storm on Methedras
- Ran quests in Minas Tirith
- Apparently had an easier time finding dead dwarves than some other people.

Featured Comments
Immortan of Evernight left a comment on the mounted combat epic battle news story:
“I’ve always enjoyed mounted combat and find it fun although I know a lot of players would disagree. Mounted combat as much as I find it enjoyable in some cases a Epic Battle is not one of them. That being said I would like to see them maybe do a public instance. The Northern and Southern Rammas dailies are pretty fun when you group up. I’ve been in groups where a player will mount up and pull a bunch of mobs to us making it go a lot quicker. That’s what kinda gave me the idea for a public instance option. I think it would fun but new hardware would definitely be needed to help with lag. Whatever they have planned I hope it’s epic.
P.S. – Up with Bears, Teri”

I was listening very intently to the podcast today. I noticed that Andang has left an easter egg in the podcast. He very specificly says “Through the Palantir” during a discussion of the epic story line. Does this mean the EPIC return of Through the Panaltir Podcast? I think the evidence is overwhelming. I await the creep roundtable.
Those are 3 words so… Half Life 3 confirmed!
Ahhhhhhhhhh I get it. Nudge nudge, wink, wink. Ivan has made you sign an ironclad NDA!
i wish 😀 That was a great show!
Actually, I must give the update an F. It is the only update that made the game totally unplayable. I was crashing every 10 minutes, and I have a GOOD machine. I would play for about 30 minutes and then give up after 3 -5 crashes. Its a bit better after the 17.x updates but its still happening.
The new Starbucks battles are just 20 minute cut scenes. Put one of the heroes on /follow and you’ll still win every time (including some side quests).
Check your PMs, Andang. 😛
Thank you so much for doing the interview!
