[lwk1138]

Question 1

If you could add any item to the lotteries, what would you add? List 3 items.

1. More Symbol Lottos (relics and Empowement scrolls too!)
2. Rare drops from instances (Cloak from 2.6.8, Wig-Feld, Amber Ring, Copper Sphere, Insidious Cuffs, etc.)
3. Some of the rare cosmetic stuff you can't get anymore, like from the Amarthiel events.

Question 2

Which lottery did you enjoy the most?

Any I win seriously though, any time I win a relic I feel like I hit the jackpot, that just saved me hours and hours of grinding. Also I feel like the Carrot Cake and Hope lotto was a great balance of rewards, useful stuff (tokens,) a cosmetic, food, cash and a funny joke to boot, what's not to like? Usually I don't get as excited for lottos that are just fluff, but if the fluff is balanced with something useful I'm much more likely to enter.

Question 3

What Holidays (real or lore based) do you think should have their own lotteries?

Any excuse for a Lotto is a good one

[Netdancer]

Question 1

If you could add any item to the lotteries, what would you add? List 3 items.

More rare ad hard to get items, more mounts: I want to see things I cannot obtain for myself easily as prizes.

3. The combined Beleriand/Orc-slayer weapon scroll

Question 2

I like the ones that give out staples: Pots and mithril flakes.

Question 3

What Holidays (real or lore based) do you think should have their own lotteries?

The seasonal festivals, Halloween.

More feedback: Please, please disable creeps being able to enter lottos, it is wasteful. Also sometimes I can't see loterries when I click on the button to enter, I have to go through my characters individually to get them in, and this is a bit of a pain.

[karakedi]

If you could add any item to the lotteries, what would you add? List 3 items.

* Items that drop in old instances such as manuals of (X) instrument, mentoring (X) instrument, lore-master non-combat pets

Question 2

Which lottery did you enjoy the most?

I liked the ones where we were surprised (gift boxes, barter medallions to get gift boxes)

Question 3

What Holidays (real or lore based) do you think should have their own lotteries?

Recognize racial holidays. We have quite a bit for hobbits, but what about elves, dwarves, Men? (Holidays for Men would probably be regional.)

[robnkarla]

Question 1
If you could add any item to the lotteries, what would you add? List 3 items.

1. Moria Medallions (at least 10)
2. Veteran Third Marks
3. Roast of Heroes

Question 2

Which lottery did you enjoy the most?

I enjoyed the Carrot Cake and Hope Lottery for number of reasons (timing, pure enjoyment, & not having to mine k-copper for a little while). The repeated Spring is Sprung with Skirmish Marks, Silver, & Housing items really got me following the Lottos.

Question 3

What Holidays (real or lore based) do you think should have their own lotteries?

(assuming the major ones are covered)

• Bilbo/Frodo' Birthday
• January 3rd for Tolkien's Birthday
• Thanksgiving with different food items for hidden titles
• Mother's/Father's Day - Notes of Affection, Cosmetics

and for fun:

[Ayrolen]

Question 1

If you could add any item to the lotteries, what would you add? List 3 items.

3- More 61+ IXP runes

Question 2

Which lottery did you enjoy the most?

For pure entertainment value, I'd say the Carrot Cake and Hope lotto was pretty funny. For practicality, I love the lottos that give stacks of T6 potions or the Symbol of Celebrimbor (even I didn't win! /shakesfist).

Question 3

What Holidays (real or lore based) do you think should have their own lotteries?

Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Mother's/Father's Day, Independence Day (US, obviously), National Talk Like a Pirate Day (), Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Eve (which is also my daughter's birthday. )

[Ember45]

Question 1

If you could add any item to the lotteries, what would you add? List 3 items.
More varieties of food
Special housing furniture
Critical success-increasing crafting items such as resin, fibers, and rock-salt

Question 2

Which lottery did you enjoy the most?
I enjoyed winning crafting tools, festival horse, and food.

Question 3

What Holidays (real or lore based) do you think should have their own lotteries?
That's tough ... I am much more aware of real life holidays and would be more likely to check the lottery boards for those. But if you could start announcing the lore holidays to clue us in to check the lotteries on those days, I think it would be preferable to have lore holiday based lotteries. What those would be, unfortunately, I can't help with.

[wcm]

Question 1

If you could add any item to the lotteries, what would you add? List 3 items.
a. More symbols of Celebrimbor
b. Mounts
c. Ettenmoors items for their cosmetic appeal


Question 2

Which lottery did you enjoy the most?

The ones I win...;-)...I have really liked the fact that there is now another way to get a symbol of Celebrimbor (even though I haven't won yet).

Question 3

What Holidays (real or lore based) do you think should have their own lotteries?

Hrmmn...this is a bit tougher since if we go with all holidays real and/or Lore based there would be a lottery everyday, sure a lottery everday!! Special ones that I would like to see added: Bilbo's b-day, JRRT B-day, Aragorn's coronation day, others related to FREEP victories.

1.If you could add any item to the lotteries, what would you add? List 3 items.

Deffinatly MORE Symbols of Celebrimbor please!! < we've had those but please more often to give casual players a shot! >
MORE Scrolls of Empowerment < more often please for casual players>

1.Higher IXP Runes
2. Unusual Cosmetic/Housing Items
3. Lv 65 2nd Age Mainhand Weapons

< I SUGGEST add a Lv 65 only Lottery ! And have only Items like Empowement Scrolls, the Ever Popular Symbol of Celebrimbor or Higher IXP RUNES. !! More Casual players deserve a shot at the Symbol and for Scrolls, that do not have the time to Farm them, or the cash to purchase. I'd like to see the Higher IXP runes because aside of constantly running SG or SH for runes becomes a Drag and takes the enjoyment out of gaming. Or there should be other ways to get runes.. simular to Moria Bounties.>

2.Which lottery did you enjoy the most?

I did enjoy the Springhorse, but ONLY because the NPC wasn't there

I really did enjoy Surprise boxes with decent prices like unusual marks etc ... but please drop the everyday junk stuff



3. What Holidays (real or lore based) do you think should have their own lotteries?

Any Lorebased Holidays even smaller events, as well as the General real holiday should be acknowledged. But PLEASE!!!!!! Stop giving out those masses and masses of Fireworks!! They use up too much Space !!!! Either that or make them Stack to 100 !
