The Helms deep and Rohan housing is still planned for a release in late july. Probably after the end of Aragorns wedding 23rd or 30th july.
Server transfers open, but not free
Bit of old news, but might as well pop it in. Transfers between live servers are back up with the normal restrictions and prices. With the added cost of 495 lp’s for a Shared-storage-only transfer to curb previous unwanted behaviour.
Closed Worlds transfers
Early july one of the steps needed to open up Closed worlds transfers planned. This will mean they will remain captured by Sauron for the foreseeable future.
Weapon swapping rumours squashed
In a rather amusing thread the rumour of in combat weapon swapping got stated to be false ;).
Update 27 – Wedding patch notes
Update 27: The Great wedding release June 30th and that is on Tuesday. The big Wedding between Aragorn and Arwen. This event will be in Minas Tirith.
