You may have noticed throngs of dwarves running up and down the stairs of Thorin’s Hall in the past weeks, perhaps hobbits frantically memorizing their poems, or Elves swimming in the Brandwine for that matter. All rather unusual things to say the least, but not when you realize The Harnkegger Games are once again upon us!
The Harnkegger Games (LoTRO’s player-run Olympic-style week-long event) is back for its seventh year running. Hence, all of Laurelin is utterly alight with activity in preparation for the games STARTING TODAY, eager and excited to kick off the events at 2PM Servertime (7UK/8CET). Like every year The Harnkegger Games Committee on Laurelin (consisting of members from Durin’s Folk, The Blue Mountains Regiment, and The Shire Angling Club) get together and host a full week of crazy, exciting and hilarious games, this year running from Monday 24th till Sunday 30th of September.
Hop on to Laurelin (open to anyone with a character out of the starter zone), compete and earn yourself massive amounts of gold (3500 gold to be won!), plenty of sturdy steel keys and a hoard of LOTRO Points (a whopping 13.000 again this year!) Oh and eternal bragging rights of course… well, until next year, of course.
Will the Elves defend their first Nation title successfully? Or will the Dwarves valiantly claim back their title? Perhaps the men can jump out of the shadows and make that Nation title theirs? And let’s not forget those hobbits! Don’t miss a minute of this year’s exciting Harnkegger Games via LoTRO’s very own twitch channel, where community manager Cordovan and the LoTRO stream team will be covering every game day LIVE.
The opening concert, is once again provided by the beardelicious dwarf band “The Rolling Kegs” , kicking off this year’s Harnkegger Games in front of the doors of Thorin’s Halls on Laurelin.
The adventure awaits, join us!
