This week is a blast from the past.  It features Sapience dressed as Legolas to fulfill his Extra Life reward from the previous year. “LOTRO Community Update October 7, 2013” was released in 2013 on the official YouTube channel for LOTRO.

This week’s video highlight uses great effects and cinematography to create one of the most epic class trailers ever created by fans for LOTRO. “The Lord of the Rings -Online- “I am warden”” was released in 2010 on EveNArtworkS YouTube channel.

Since I just finished up Eregion on my Lore-master, I knew I had to make a new, suitable outfit for her to explore the long dark of Moria in. No skirts – don’t want to trip on them in the dark! Heavy boots – need a firm footstep with extra toe protection so she doesn’t stub her toes. Dark colors – Moria is not exactly the...

This is another outfit that was designed while doing my livestream on Hitbox. For this outfit, two young hobbits were looking for bright (but not gaudy) outfits, appropriate for some adventure-some hobbits like themselves. With their input I put together this suitably cheerful outfit. It works well because both the hat and chestpiece can be dyed any bright...

It’s been quite a few weeks since I’ve posted any outfits to LOTRO Players. I’ve been away on vacation but now I’m back! And I bring outfits! This week’s outfit I made on one of my Hitbox streams before I left. I’m looking forward to getting back into streaming and outfit creation after being gone for almost 3 weeks....

This week we have another great video by the BBB. “The Drunken Hobbit” was released in 2011 on Bards, Beers & Longbeards’ YouTube channel. Do you know of a good LOTRO video and want it to be featured in this series? Send an email to contact@lotroplayers.com with a link to the video and it might end up in a future...

This week’s video highlight takes us behind the thought process of making the various weapons and armor for LOTRO.  This week’s highlight originally comes from behind the scenes disk included with the Special Edition of the base game.   “Weapons and Armor of Middle-earth (Beyond the Shadows)” was released in 2009 on Turbine’s official...

The Update 14.2 Beta was recently released on the test server bringing the Dead Marshes mini-zone and a new collections panel. You can find out more about Update 14.2 by reading our patch...

This week’s video highlight is one of my favorite of all time.  The video features a character walking through their house, remembering all the achievements they have had over the years in LOTRO.  The song featured in the video is “What I’ve Done” by Linkin Park. “LotRO – Dividion” was released in 2009 on Kyzgar’s...

In the LOTRO musical circles nothing is more exciting or more daunting than a big festival. I love seeing the creative talents of other bands, especially those who play on different servers. This month a host of bands and musical groups came together on Crickhollow to share and entertain. This is my look at Shirefest 2014. – Thanks in advance to all those...

This is yet another outfit put together during my live streams! Although this one I didn’t really take input on as I already had a pretty clear idea in my head of what I wanted. This is actually similar to an outfit that my low-level elf champion used to wear (before I deleted her!). I love a lot of the elven-style armour in LOTRO despite not playing...

This week’s video highlight is one of my favorite trailers for LOTRO.  The teaser trailer for Mines of Moria created huge excitement for early players as it is the ultimate fantasy dungeon and we were going there. “Mines of Moria Teaser Video” was originally released August 2008 and was later re-released on Turbine’s official YouTube...

This week’s outfit was my first outfit that I made over live stream! I’ve started doing live outfit streams at Hitbox on Sundays at 8PM EST. While making this outfit I had quite a few people chatting with me! It was really fun and I got some good input while putting together the outfit. I love the end result – this outfit is adorable! I love...

This week’s video highlight is possibly the most epic trailer for a lost book ever.  It is likely so epic because it is not about a lost book but instead is is an awesome kinship trailer for Grand Order of the Lost Mathom. “Grand Order: The Lost Mathom was released in 2012 on Lina Willowwood’s YouTube channel. Do you know of a good LOTRO video...

Starting on launch day of Update 14, I began a huge task.  I started a fully-voiced video series through Western Gondor.  27 episodes later, I finished the series.  I really enjoyed the content and recommend everyone play through the Western Gondor region for the amazing landscape and story.  A big thanks to Turbine for making this fantastic story for us to...

Brotherhood Workshop has once again condensed pure excellence into a Lord of the Rings parody video using LEGOs.  Today’s video finally depicts just why it is a really bad idea to just take the eagles to...

I was challenged on Twitter to make an outfit using Trech-helm. It’s an interesting Dunland quest reward – a grey hood with a partial face mask and only the face mask dyes. I accepted the challenge as I already use the piece in one of my Rune-keeper’s outfits. I love how this outfit fits into Lorien and Thinglad both color wise and...

I feel like I can never recommend Eregion as a zone enough. Although the quests there are pretty simple (Kill 10 x, Defeat Signature Mob Y, etc) I just love questing there. I think part of it is just that it’s simple to go from one hub to the next killing and gathering and moving on. The travel times between quest hubs and quest action areas (where you do...

This week’s highlight is awesome for anyone who loves LOTRO music and Skyrim songs!  “Lotro Music – Skyrim/Sons of Skyrim”  was released in 2012 on reinjp’s YouTube channel.

Welcome to the second instalment of Dress to Impress. A series of articles which take a very close look at the cosmetic dress options in LOTRO. In this series I will be assisted by a pair of lovely daughters, who will be offering their own opinion of the dresses. Today we look at the Wash Day Dress. Available at the cosmetic item trader in Skirmish Camps. The...
