LOTRO Events Schedule

[YellowBrickRoad]

A few thought.

1) How about a random festival weekend. Throw a dart at a festival board and run that festival for the weekend.

2) Hobbit gamble weekend. Run the Taste of Hobbiton part of the festival but allow us to bet gold on the race with odds of winning.

3) TTHTI weekend. Set some sort of timer that spawns a random NRP hobbit and starts in Bree town and ends at the steps on Isengard. We have to take that NPC to Isengard and the top 10 times on each server get some sort of prize. Then mix it up sometime and take the hobbit to some other Iconic location.

4) Fishing weekend. In certain area put a chance to get rare items while fishing over the weekend.

5) PvP weekend. Double the amount of Commendations earned over the weekend.

/signed a lot for the fishing event!

Forgot to mention this:

The Bounder's Event was great and had many nice exclusive rewards. I'd love to see that one again and get a chance to obtain some more of those housing items.

[Meesha]

I am one of the people that LOVE the festivals! Love the locations, the encores, the fun items you can barter for. I am always sad knowing I won't see places like Winterhome or Wistmead again for a year lol. I would love to see more housing items in the future, more than new dresses or horses. Love the cosmetic pets. Would love more Treasure Hunts.

I have at least 8 characters at level cap but I only play solo and have very bad armour and jewellry, so earning the festive shadow essence boxes and star lit crystals is VERY important to me, I can't afford to equip that many people with the best equipment and can't do the harder areas. Haven't even tried Mordor yet.

It would really help to have a forge/relic master at all event areas, I don't know how hard it would be to add one NPC to Winterhome/Wistmead/Party Tree/etc. I really appreciate the items xp we get from festivals and would rather be having fun with festival quests than running to a forge master all the time

[Derquin]

I know what you mean.


Btw: anyone knows what the Skirmish Event is to be? Sounds interesting.

Skirmish Event
2/7/19@10am
3/12/19@3am

[Vilan]

Bring back Bounder's Bounty!

Or the Ranger's Offensive!

Or the Fashion Maven!

Or whoever it was that handed out "best house in the neighborhood" trophies!

Blasts from the past like this would be a lot of fun and hopefully not too difficult on your end since you're not creating something entirely new.

[Silmelin]

ALSO: As you can see, we've got the schedule set up through the early part of 2019, but the rest of the year is pretty blank right now. So, now is a great time to let us know which events are your favorite, which you would like to see return more regularly, and which you'd prefer we do less often (yup, we know Hobnanigans has a divided opinion.)

I actually love Hobnanigans but sadly I never get to play The reason for that is because my friends can't spend 12 hours a day playing Hobnanigans while it's up, so they don't even bother going since they can't get any rewards, and I can't play alone.

The reward barter prices are far too high, you can't really earn any of them just having fun.
You need to be ready to grind heavily every day, and most of that hard work consists of standing still for a very long time waiting for someone else to come along and then doing one single activity, rinse and repeat, and it's really difficult to get people to come a second time after they have tried once and seen the prices and how they will never ever get enough tokens to buy anything

I would still like to see The Running of the Turtles! idea implemented.

https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthr...of-the-Turtles

Somewhat later I repeated the same idea, but this time making things more low-level character friendly by having the turtles "simply" do knockback and daze targets as they head through Bree toward Nen Harn. But, ATM I have not re-located that thread. So basically this comes down to a kind of "bumper cars" mini-game. Maybe some kind of cosmetic or consumable as a reward for making it through Bree without getting bumped and/or dazed?

PS: Cordovan: You've got a timing paradox with the current 2019 Calendar of Events. The Anniversary is starting on Apr 19th and ending on Apr 1st... H.G. Wells not withstanding, you cannot end the event before it starts!

The anniversary event bonus runs until April 1st, 2019.

Can you Please Take a look at my Private Message Please Please Please !

[Mornaro]

Will be Yule festival encore this year? It seems that event schedule is not so detailed this time.

[Derquin]

Would be indeed nice to know if an encore is coming for Yule Festival - or another Winterhome in July.

[Cordovan]

We are open to hearing from you, but since Yuletide will have been here for about a month before it's done, it seems perhaps not wanted to have an encore of it.

[canyouaddcolour]

Yulefest is easily my favourite festival, so, personally I certainly wouldn't complain about an Encore.

[kittykatt]

Yes, please!! I bet a lot of us would like one, because it seems even at a month long never enough time to get it all done!! Such nice rewards this time around!!

[greendarner]

I don't mind an encore. If there are those who are tired of it, how is it any skin off their noses? Just don't go out there.

[LulaMae]

I'd appreciate a Yule encore as well. The holidays were ridiculously busy this year for me so I barely got to play. Even the few chars I'm running through haven't gotten to do much.

[random_player_897469]

I'd love a Yule encore.

[Gilean-EU]

I just hope they extend yule festival for ONE more day As I will be missing ONE day worth of quests for A Festive Flurry (final). It would be okay if I could continue from where I left when next yule festival comes, but it completely resets again then :/

no 1 signed if its a something new n not the current seasonal fests
no 4 signed

more proposals
racing weekends as it used to be 4 people racing 1 wins but no time restrictions
add a deed wth special rewards depending the race (example bree, human decoration rewards etc)
add races in moria or erebor n lothlorien so all free people have their own type of race
add a special type of race at rohan with special rewards, competitors have to complete tier I of the deed to participate

[Gildoriel]

By the way: Festivals? The current schedule only lasts until the beginning of March. Do you know how plans are further into this year, Cord?
