LOTRO Events Schedule

[TheGeekGirl]

We don't need to be in a constant state of festivity. Many of us are sick of the constant festivals and encores. Please give us a break so we can enjoy the game, questing, and RPing again.

There is a mixup on the calendar, and the Farmer's Faire is officially underway as of 10:00 AM Eastern today! The event runs through September 10th, turning off on Monday, September 11th at 3:00 AM Eastern. I will update the main calendar shortly.

No, I think it is as he states. It starts today, and runs from today, all the way through the 10th of September (server time) and turns off at 3am on the 11th of September (server time).

I rarely have time to devote to any Festival activity these days but I appreciate the increased opportunity to do Festival content if I do so desire. The Festivals being 'on' doesn't stop anybody from their standard questing and RP'ing.

It might have people you group with running all their alts through the festival dailies, again and again. With the new level increase it has me thinking "do I have enough essence reclamation scrolls to handle the raft of mini gear/essence updates on the horizon?" A couple of festivals a year used to be enough but the last year's been rough on resources.

Seems like half the year has some event on.

Thanks for correcting it so quickly. Is the VIP sale not on tho? If u don't want festivals , don't do them. Tho understand ur difficulty. I like festivalsm but am new.

This should really go under announcements.

I wonder if there will be a Farmers Faire encore? Will it be scheduled later or will there be none? I need to know to be able to plan my activities for the remaining time of the festival. Not sure I understand why some festivals have encores while others don't. So little time, so much to do...

I dont know for the rationale for sure, but Farmer's Faire isn't a full "festival;" it's like a mini-festival. A 'fair,' if you will. That could account for why it's treated a bit differently.

Hmm. I don't know that we've ever had an encore for the Farmer's Faire.

So... might want to get everything you want before this one ends.

[Hobbitforhire]

Why in the world is there no title for the Golden Egg deed?

I have found 2 in the 6 years this has been in the festival - I want to brag in game please !!!!!

You can still enjoy playing the game. If you cannot then you have a problem.

Thank you both for the replies. That makes sense, even though it is not the answer I hoped for

The Events calendar still shows:

Tale of the Shipwrecked Mariner

9/15/18@10am

9/20/18@3am

or in simple Beaconese that would be "will run from September 15th through the 19th"

The LOTRO Beacon #77 issued today states:

• The Tale of the Shipwrecked Mariner will run from September 15th through the 17th!

One of them is surely correct. Confirmation please

As the next issue of the Beacon will not arrive before the 20th, you might also want to check that it will confirm that Bilbo's Birthday will be as shown on the Calendar (runs from 20th through 25th):

Bilbo's Birthday

9/20/18@10am

9/26/18@3am

Thanks

[Thoroval]

The Beacon now correctly states "The Tale of the Shipwrecked Mariner will run from September 15th through the 19th!" so that's been answered, indirectly.

[FoxFire]

I like the unstated unexpected extra day we sometimes get at the end of a festival. Great for those people who just can't seem to realize it's the last day of the festival!

The extra day thrown in helps for those people. Not me of course.

[Cordovan]

I'm sorry to say that we're delaying the start of the Harvestmath Festival by a day or so in order for us to get out a necessary patch. We'll extend the festival on the other side to account for it, and will have more info shortly.

[maartena]

Define "shortly". I may have to add it to the definition of "soon" in my signature.

[FoxFire]

Me at 3am on the last day of every festival.

:-P

Thanks for the heads up! /pat the nice dwarf

PS: Keep it up with theses humour videos, good 1! o7

The Events Schedule has been updated through the end of the year.

What's the Durin's Day event?

[Fatefoot]

Event:	Start Time:	End Time:
Fall Festival	10/17/18@10am	11/7/18@3am

LOTRO Beacon Issue 82 is showing an incorrect end date:

• Enjoy the Fall Festival now through Novemeber [sic] 7th!

This should read:

• Enjoy the Fall Festival now through November 6th!

And PLEASE can we stop using a term which Tolkien himself would have had a fit over. The use of the word "Fall" is peculiarly American and, as we all know, Tolkien detested what happened to much of the language (and many other things) in the New World. His term would be "Autumn" or one of the many variants used in game such as "Harvestmath" or "Harvest".

I doubt any of the races would have used "Fall" at least not in such an abbreviated form as opposed to some Sindarin expression meaning "The time of falling leaves"

However, if you cite a reference to Tolkien's work in the next few days, I will happily stand corrected and will double my intended donation to support the SSG team

You are right, this should be labeled Harvestmath Festival. Fall Festival is an internal development name for it, and unfortunately got mixed into the live description both externally and in-game.

I would like to see the fall festival tokens in game renamed to harvest festival tokens.
