Community Calendar:
This listing of featured events is only published on Fridays, but our Google calendar is kept up to date throughout the week and includes details on many more activities. Take a look at this week’s agenda for upcoming events around LOTRO and copy some or all events to your personal calendar. You may add events or post corrections in the comments section, but the fastest and best way to get it on this page and on the calendar is to submit a form.
Server calendars: Arkenstone Calendar, Belegaer Calendar, Brandywine Calendar, Crickhollow Calendar, Evernight Calendar, Gladden Calendar, Gwaihir Calendar, Landroval Calendar, Laurelin Calendar, and Sirannon Calendar
All events listed in Eastern Daylight Time (-4 GMT)/server time, with an extra time zone for EU server events. You may add events or post corrections in the comments section, but the fastest and best way to get it on this page is to submit a form. I’m always open to feedback and suggestions, both here and through the submissions form, so let me know if there’s something we should feature. Thanks for reading!
Special note: the US, Canada, and a few other places in North America are on Daylight Saving Time while most of Europe will switch to DST on March 26th. Daylight saving ends in Australia and New Zealand on April 2nd. This means that some events on the European servers will generally take place at a different time than Americans are accustomed to, and vice versa. Make sure to double-check the time of events on all servers over the next week, and note that times on the Google calendar may not be accurate on Friday and Saturday. If in doubt, directly ask the event organizers if you can.

Please note: Green Dragon Friday is back to its usual home in Bywater, but there is a permanent time change: from now on it will start a half an hour earlier, at 7:30pm GMT. This will mean 3:30pm server time this week, 2:30pm server time from next week on.
