And erroneous on top of that?

With this update, all quests, areas, instances, and expansions released between the original launch of LOTRO back in 2007 and up to – and including! - the release of Helm’s Deep, the High-elf race, and the Rune-Keeper, Warden, and Beorning classes- will be available for free to everyone.

Ettenmoors included?

And at risk of being ungracious, bit underwhelming that the only other VIP upgrade is the Field Bank/Crafting Bottle lasting for 2 weeks.

But, as I say, perhaps I'm being curmudgeonly.

Also: How is the festival supposed to start at 10:00 am, when the worlds are down for the update until 1:00 pm???

Not that I bother much with festivals anymore, I've only done them the last few years for the crystals, but, ya know, just sayin'.

Just came here to post the same thing. Obviously, what we have here is a failure to communicate. They get the box (those responsible for this error.)

This is an indication that it will be available from the moment the worlds are open.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say those features didn't make it out of beta. You do understand that Bullroarer is only proposed changes?

[Cordovan]

We do know we are missing a few notes; we'll get the copy aligned as soon as we can.

[WeirdJedi]

If you haven't figured out by now, the patch notes don't usually include everything. When Minas Morgul was released, the patch notes left out the fact that you could now have up to two crafting guilds per vocation. When the Remmorchant raid was released, the information regarding the trigger essences weren't included. People were expecting that the hook consolidation would be included after seeing it on the Bullroarer, but the developers decided that it needed "more time to bake" on the test realm before implementing it into the game. Then there are the many little things they just don't bother mentioning, like higher resolution on the Skirmish Camp decorations or the new troll make-over in Wastes.

Sorry Cord, but what it actually indicates is a woeful disregard for accuracy and quality work.
Just one of the many little things that add up to crud customer service.

[CaerArianrhod]

Sure.
But: Usually, patch-notes used to have a lot of errors here. And - also usually - we get exactly what was in the last beta on the live servers. Inclusive all beta-bugs.

@Cordovan - I do apologise. The Anniversary Gifts look lovely. Wish there was more on the inventory space front but I cross my fingers and hope for the future. In the meantime, thank you and I'm sorry I was too swift with my grumpy comments. Happy Anniversary! *sets of fireworks*

Way to prove my point SSG! Good job!!

It's just possible that you have more urgent things to work on than the missing notes.
Keep Calm and Carry On!

As of earlier today the notes should be complete and published in all three languages, so if there is still information missing please let me know.

Yes:

"Of Special Note:

* Known Issue: The Runekeeper's Guild has issue a safety recall on all satchels. A serious flaw has been found where in rare cases, when a fire based runestone was inserted into a healing-based satchel, the satchel would spontaneously combust, explode, and instantly kill all surrounding hobbitses.
* The above "Known Issue" does not seem to affect surrounding Dwarves due to their more sturdy build.
* Negotiations with the Runekeeper's Guild are ongoing as they have now taken possession of all satchels and refuse to return them."

Hey, we gotta make a little light hearted humor about the situation, I know you folks are seriously working their butts off on this, and no one is having dinner with their families because of it, so have Raninian order some pizza for y'all!

...not if the delivery man has no heated satchel I wouldn't.
I guess the nutrition value of finger nails won't be enough though. But GL all who are pulling an extra shift.

I must be curmudgeonly as well, I knew that other added minor benefits for VIP would be announced when the patch came out and I did think it would be more than the VIP Service having an extended timespan. Sure I hoped they would be extending it and they have, but I thought there maybe something a little more than what had already been announced I guess the minor things were the additional anniversary gits and the VIP Service, such anticipation of some wonderous goodies that would not all be based around the anniversary but something new VIPS could get outside of it, all shattered along with the RK Sachets being whisked away.

I can never find the other language notes, where are they located?

In addition to...
1- 14 days of subscriber bonuses per visit to Wenda Cranesbill instead of only 48 hours
VIPs also get...
2- +5 slots for your quest log for as long as you maintain your VIP subscription
3- "Rent" of the Mordor, Mines Morgul, and Three Peaks content for as long as you maintain your VIP subscription

edit: I didn't list all the extra stuff VIPs get relative to non-VIPs for the 15th Anniversary Event because that ends on May 11th.

So there is more than that one thing. The Player Suggestions forum is open if you have ideas for other VIP benefits.

Quest: Find the Error

Is Eglish the error :-)

Also what is the URL to the German notes?

[DoRonRon]

Suggests the same due care and attention suffered in localization is in play in notes too.

Is this like a "spot the ball" competition where it's not where the ball actually is but where a jury has deemed the nanometric position of the ball is in their opinion? Do German clients not have crafting capability nor items in inventory?

I feel the error was to take notes off the forums where they can be searched for, quoted and timestamped and hidden away in articles for, ironically, "show".

[Sucamarto]

Also what is the URL to the foreign language notes?

[DoRonRon]

Also what is the URL to the foreign language notes?

I checked the German and French forum links at the bottom of the forums page but couldn't find a link other than to the English Language version of the Anniversary article. Used to be that once you found the articles page they were all there to see but now it's like I'm a rat in a maze with no out.

It's like "they" know I can't read German and have poor French...
