LOTRO Players News
New Player Question
Questions on Housing from Feralir/Ratstew on Peregrine:
Hello Lotro podcast! Listening to last week’s podcast I realized I’m finally going to have to get a house. I have avoided it since beta because I’m not interested in housing. However, a lot of the new features in wolves of Mordor sound really cool but you need a house for some of it.
So my question to you is: as a VIP what is the best option and cheapest for getting a house? And as a non-VIP what is the best option and cheapest for getting a house? I have two accounts, one VIP one not, hence the questions.
If you buy a house that’s premium, is that cheapest in the long run since you don’t have to pay upkeep? And is it better to buy with mithril or writs? So many questions!
I hope you can address this in the next podcast.
Thank you for your weekly releases because I really enjoy listening to you guys.
Feralir/Ratstew, Peregrine

Hey Pineleaf! Been a while! Hope you and the LPN crew are doing well.
Thought I’d give you a little shout as there’s been quite a big development on the Dwarvish side of things that might be interesting for LOTRO Players News.
As you probably remember, LOTRO uses a fair amount of the Neo-Khuzdul (expanded Dwarvish) I developed, which I’ve continued expanding considerably over the years. Well, people can now actually learn it for free through Scholarium, an interactive learning platform I launched recently. It has structured courses, exercises, flashcards, study packs, games and quite a bit more.
Seeing as LOTRO players actually encounter quite a bit of this Dwarvish in-game, I thought it might be worth a little shout-out on the podcast for anyone who’s ever fancied learning what some of it means, or learning to speak a bit themselves.
To be clear, it’s all completely free – no hidden cost, no subscriptions – so nothing commercial behind the request. Just trying to make all these years of Dwarvish work accessible to anyone interested.
And since I’ve popped up on LPN a few times in the past, mostly back in my Harnkegger Games days, I thought I’d come knocking again.
If you think it would be of interest to the listeners, I’d really appreciate a mention! (Scholarium)
