If I understand correctly, 4 of the cooking recipes are locked behind the raid. Is it intended that these recipes are only useful specifically to raiders at lvl 140?

Otherwise, I think some...

Reminds me very much of ESO pvp mechanics. I miss that game.

It all sounds great, as others have said, so I want to make sure I say "thanks!!" to you, Orion, for the transparency and communication...

When was the last time an engineer came on the forums to give us said information? Yeah, that's why someone (not necessarily Orion) needs to do so.

@Deriaph and others
Does it bother you that we have a region named Cardolan, but no such equivalent for Rhudaur or Arthedain? I see you have Rhudaur as a placeholder (although the Trollshaws is a...

It's a good thing Orion is an adult and has no problem ignoring fools.

My response is rather aimed at others who may lurk here: if you can't say anything nice at all and pair it with constructive...

A few people have mentioned lag/performance, and so far you guys have ignored its existence completely - both in the letter itself and the responses on this thread. This leads me to believe that you...

We need a dev diary about this rock.
1. How did this happen? Has an intern been disciplined? Did some new AI tool outsmart the team?
2. Since something or someone has time to place random rocks...

Orion - hats off to you!
I haven't stepped foot in the Ettenmoors for years - because the power imbalance was just so not fun. Nothing has significantly changed, yet. A lvl 140 freep in quest gear...

Orion, you mentioned that you don't have intentions of capping the number of players who can come into the Moors. That makes sense.
As we all know, many other games (including MMORPGs) will...

My prediction for the Lotro producer's letter:

- kinship system revamp - Promised in last year's letter, how will they spin things this year?
- Legendary item revamp -Let's not open up that...

If its their intention to do nothing then they should have at least have the decency to state it . At least we know where we stand and can then decide whether to abandon any further efforts to make...

Given that the primary strength of LOTRO is the story and the chance to explore Middle Earth, I don't think a large portion of the players are focused on getting to the endgame as fast as possible...

New players hate grinding, but they are willing to do it if they can catch up to end-game within a couple of months. This is meta for all current MMORPGs and for good reason - it's reasonable.
...

Same for me - I've been with this game a looong time, and I've come to the end for me. My wife only does festivals now (for free) and won't bother with end-game toons and the ridiculous grind. Oh,...

Can't bank/spend more than 10,000 figments, can't earn more figments while the curator is live. Beyond infuriating.

Escalation. This is the first time we have to buy an expansion in order to do crafting quests. We might as well assume that spending MC to get to a high-lvl region is also part of the escalation...

Whether or not you're ok with guild-specific recipes gated behind an expansion purchase, you have to agree that the crafting update is woefully sparse. This is an 'update' worthy of a X.1.2 patch,...

Even amongst the complainers, the majority of them complain about things that are decided not by old Turbine employees, but probably by Daylight or other stakeholders trying to maximize profit. The...

Just to show some factual information about another MMORPG and how they reward their paying subscribers:

ESO Plus is a premium membership system that pretty much mirrors LOTRO VIP. It costs:...

For those who aren't too terrified of anything non-Macintosh: switch from Wine to Bootcamp. Then you'll be able to enjoy not only LOTRO on your mac, but any other PC-only games too. Just my 2c.

Good news about the extension.
Where is the curator?

The price of the expansions doesn't bother me. Arguing about money is pointless.

The problem (as some of us see it) is the lack of value in the special editions. The base edition at $40 is normal...

Leave the curator in game permanently, please.

Starshot neighborhood on Landroval is full of treats!

You're walking along a path in the woods when you spot a small pouch in the middle of the walkway. You open the pouch to find Radagast's Custom OG Pipe-weed inside!
So this is how he talks to all...
