Happy #PAX everyone! The NDA for the Rise of Isengard has been lifted! #LOTRO

Hope that counts.

It's happened before. Gedachtnis is correct. I don't know if it was CSTM but some site got the release dates wrong and published screenshots before the Mirkwood NDA was lifted. It was an honest mistake - but it lead, erroneously, to conclusions like the one at the beginning of this thread.

Like others have said - I'll believe it when I hear it from a blue-name.

(and then I'll be mildly disappointed that I never got a beta invite (cries a little))

CSTM has never posted any pre-NDA pictures to their site.

As I said, I can't recall which site it was. Didn't mean to cast aspersions.

Thank you, Celestrata. This is the announcement I was looking for. I don't tweet.

Edited to add: Does this mean Bullroarer will be opened to the public?

[Reniannen]

And there you have it.

Further info DocHoliday's breakdown of armor stats

Holy +122 Primary stat per piece! Not only they've removed stat caps, they made sure we go way past them.

[Hudson7]

I was quite shocked by the email this morning and asked twice to clarify that in fact the NDA was lifted and that I could post stuff from Bullroarer

[BigLotroFan]

Well, turbine needs to say something soon, before the floodgates open.

If the NDA has been lifted: What is the new LM pet?

The new pet is a hobbit. It's supported by lore, see Gandalf and the various hobbits that follow him around and the people of Gondor believing that each warrior from Rohan would arrive with a hobbit at his side :P

When will the Open Beta start?

Huoh. RK set bonuses once again total rubbish... great way to get me to grind school, library, helegrod, annuminas and GB on lvl 75 would be to put some cool set bonuses but... – -15% Writs Power Cost and – Fiery Ridicule Reduces Essay of Fire CD by 3 seconds. Doubt Im gonna bother if those are the final bonuses

[Stephen1981]

i thought their was 2 other regions cause if not its a real disappointment and it looks almost the size of mirkwood

RK bonus is ridicule indeed.

tbh im disappointed by the warden set.

Captain set looks pretty good though.

[Stephen1981]

out of all the classes i play it seems only the hunter one is any good RK one sucks, champ one doesn't very appealing

[Reniannen]

The BG armor was tweaked before release, wasn't it? Those sets might be tweaked as well.

[Anoir]

OD set bonuses we tweaked also before Launch, but Ive heard on kinchat from a betatester that these set bonuses are the exact same ones they were month ago on Beta. so I dunno if theyr gonna fix them at all anymore, but I pray for the sake of Isengard endgame they are...

[The_Carolinian]

Loving that Dunland video.I'm very happy I pre ordered and look forward to continuing my adventure!
