This week’s featured events: Notenzauber will present their Blues Brothers tribute concert on Saturday at 3pm on Landroval.  Petaline probably put it best: “It’s 106 miles to Rivendell. We got a full pack of cookies, half a bag of pipeweed, it’s dark out, and we’re carrying sparklers. Hit it!”   All events are listed in...

Dear Free Folks, I copy paste this notice from my blog: TheNinny.wordpress.com to reach as wide an audience as possible. I wish to thank all those people who have greeted my idea of a song contest in Minas Tirith with enthusiasm. To me, it seems like a great idea but not all members of the community are that keen on the pairing of music and competition. This I...

Unfortunately we were unable to record a new episode for this week, but we do have some bonus content for you. Before recording episode 123, I decided to record some of our conversations on TeamSpeak during the Academy Field Trip. There’s really no format to this bit of discussion, but Pineleaf was certainly on point for this informative, though off-topic, bonus segment. I hope you enjoy it. LOTRO Academy will return next week with episode 124.

This week the party tries to put together the pieces of the larger plot. Watch previous...

Pelennor Fields starts right where Update 17 left off with Gandalf.  He quickly sends us on in search of the Rohirrim.  On the way we find the Woses and give them aid so that they can help the Rohirrim through the forest. We have had the monotony of the same type of quests for several zones now.  Update 18 breaks that by giving us new quests surrounding the...

Today Turbine made an interesting post on the forums. “The existence of LIs above level 100 is a bug. We never intended to drop LIs above level 100.” Then why is imbuing even an option?  Why not just make level 100 LI’s be imbued in the first place if you are not going to give the option for an alternate progression system?  This makes...

Today Turbine announced that the new featured instance rewards will only be for characters level 100+. “Once per day, when you complete this instance at level 100 or above, you will get a box filled with extra rewards, above and beyond what you normally get from that instance.  From level 100 to 104, this extra reward will primarily be Scrolls of...

  Part 87 – A Traveler From Bree Through the afternoon the four remaining members of the Warriors of Eriador sat in silence. Exhaustion took them as the toll the past two days took on them was horrendous. So they sat at the threshold of the valley of the worms, silent, pondering the last two days. Thinking on how it could have gone different. They felt the...

Greetings Everyone, We had a long adventure this week with Bingo, searching Wildemore for a brooch. It took us about an hour to complete. Some quests are more popular than others ones like this week’s episode arn’t always popular with some players. However I like these, often easier to focus on without an impatient eight year old on my shoulder 🙂 I...

In this episode, Pineleaf teaches Branick, Teriadwyn, and Draculetta all about the Collections Panel in The Lord of the Rings Online™. Thanks for listening.

We have returned to the Golden Wood. Will we be able to remain? Book 7 – The The Leaves of Lórien We left the mines And to Lórien returned To find the friends Of the fallen wizard. We hunted orcs That haunted the wood And leaned of the grief Of the Garrison of Iron.   They sent us back To the baleful dark Where we found a garden Fouled by the deep. A...
