Hey everyone, I thought I'd let you know that the LOTRO Vault has posted our Harvest Festival Guide for 2009. We're still uploading pictures of the rewards -- those should be up this week -- but all of the quest information is up-to-date, as is the reward information, and we've got directions and coordinates available for each of the NPCs in the Tricks and Troves quest line. We hope you find it useful!

You'll want to keep your eyes peeled for some upcoming contests, too. We're still hammering out official rules, so I can't tell you what we're doing just yet, but I can tell you that we'll be giving away three copies of The Lord of the Rings Online: Mines of Moria initially, with a few more in store for later contests if this all goes well this time around. Sure, there's a new expansion coming out, but it's been confirmed that you'll need a copy of MoM to play Siege of Mirkwood, so this will be useful for those of you with family and friends who want to play (have you been trying to convince your husband or your daughter?) or those of you who merely want a second account. Or, heck, keep it sealed and sell it as a collector's item in the post-zombie world. (Oh, er -- I wasn't supposed to mention the zombies. If you don't hear from me in the next month, I've probably been... silenced.)

I'll get all of the relevant information to you when we finalize the rules and get our contest up and running!
