While the dwarves belch comfortably in the dark caverns of Moria, we at the Fellowship Tribune are risking a nasty bout of allergies to find you the latest scoop from the ongoing spring festivities held in Eriador. Our field reporters have made several discoveries – we now take you over to an ongoing investigation in the northeastern fields of the Shire....

Have you ever attempted the chicken session play, only to run afoul inches from the target? Wish to plot your revenge on that chicken you spent so much time trying to protect? Well, now you can grab a stick (don’t worry, it’s padded) and spend time thwacking that doodle-doo around! Hobnanigans is currently active from now until May 11th. This sport,...

We look forward to hearing their feedback and suggestions. The list can be viewed in its entirety on the official announcement thread. Sapience also remarked on those who participated in...

Please note: The following post is a 2014 April Fool’s joke and is not real. Ladies, gentlemen, and orc-kin – I am humbled to share the next upcoming form of combative transportation to Lord of the Rings Online. All behold, the warhobbit! The warhobbit began as a simple idea way back when Turbine was creating the Shire. Remember those mail and pie...

Oh golly, what did I get myself into here? “Sure,” they said, “you can’t get yourself lost in these simple ruins.” Yet, here I am. It must’ve been five hours since I’ve entered this gosh-forsaken tomb (or, at least so my stomach gurgles say…I’ve surely missed fourth, fifth, and sixth breakfast – and...

It appears that Turbine has snuck in a Lootbox Weekend as an addition to the store sales this week. This event is currently running, and should continue until the 17th (this Monday). Lootbox weekends include an increased rate in lootbox drops of all levels, as well as the sturdy keys which open the boxes. “Let this be the hour when we farm boxes together....

Well, Helm’s Deep is out, and West Rohan is mine to wreck havoc on some baddies (who seem to have a distaste for fair trade, and rather fond of pillaging farms). Thus far, I’d say I’m maybe halfway through questing in this expansion, though not certain. While I was in the beta, I purposely only skimmed the outer slice of the region, merely to...

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UPDATE: All LOTRO game words are scheduled to be brought down on Wednesday, November 20, at 6:00 AM Eastern Time (-5 GMT). The LOTRO store will be brought down an hour earlier (5AM). If you still have preparations to make, make sure to get ’em done before the downtime!...

When Zyngor awoke this morning, he was WAY to happy and pleased with himself. Not even delivering Shire mail to Lobelia could put him into a funk. But…what to do? Got it. Let’s go to Angmar. Guaranteed to slurp the joy out of your life, with one of those fancy-shaped straws. The intrepid hunter grabbed a handful of travel rations and was on his way....

  Well, we have reached the end of the journey for this particular series. In this article, I will glance over a couple of systems that utilize reputation as a piece of their respective feature, as well as glossarize (made that word a thing) over some miscellaneous info. Hornblower’s pie will be served at the end – hopefully she got the recipe...

  Now that we have taken a look at the Eriador factions, let us cross over to the next stage of the journey – the Rhovanion reputation factions. These currently include: Iron Garrison Guards Iron Garrison Miners Galadhrim  (*AtE) Malledhrim  (AtE) The Riders of Stangard Heroes of Limlight Gorge Men of the Wold Men of the Norcrofts Men of the Entwash...

    In this edition, we will be discussing the reputation factions located in the Eriador region. Beginning with the starter areas, the zones include a vast amount of land, generally from early-to-mid level. The exceptions include Enedwaith and Dunland, which span levels 60-75. However, before we jump right into the Eriador factions, let’s take...

  Gaining in-game reputation with factions in Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) is not only a great way to get respect amongst fellow Middle Earthenites, but you’ll also find many new goodies unlocked and available for purchase. Whether it be equipment, decorations, recipes, or new mounts (and the list goes on), there are a plethora of things that can be...
