Rohan housing?

[Hendambar]

SOOOOO excited to hear this! Hopefully there will be new decor for it as well!

Yes please! *grin*

There is definitely no shortage of Rohirrim-flavoured deco that can be turned into housing items.

I have been awaiting the Rohan housing. I HOPE it ties in somehow with the Hytbold quests we (some of us) did. We already OWN a "house" there. Then there is the deed quest we got in Edoras. We get a deed to a house! I probably tossed mine, more's the pity. Anyway, those should be worth something in getting a new house. I've never gotten any of the Rohirrim housing decorations because of no room to display them (nor to store when not being displayed). I'm looking forward to getting those! A few Lossoth items wouldn't look all that out of place either, though somewhat exotic. The Pukel men belong with Rohirrim housing. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Oh, trust us....ever since the launch of Rohan....WE'VE NOTICED!!

yes !

Yes !!

YES !!!


If we could somehow have a large, fully customizable house within the city of Hytbold which we already rebuilt...I...I...I promise to not bring up the horrid grind of LIs for an entire six months!!!

Seriously!

This was actually one of our hopes, as players, many years ago when we lay eyes on Hytbold for the first time. We felt there was a lot of potential for a Hytbold housing layer for us... now that Scenario's talking about 2 neighbourhoods, I can't help but wonder if this may become true

[Jungle_Boogy]

This, This is fantastic news!
long have i asked, just like that guy who asked for his war goat all those years
I asked for this, my very own longhouse.
take my money

Very true

I have a few recommendations:

Please pretend that there's such a thing as an "Extra Large Wall Slot." I'd LOVE to-scale-sized versions of the Edoras tapestries. We currently have "Large Wall" versions available in Far Anorien, but these are very tiny compared to the ones that are actually in Meduseld. So, if there's such a thing as a "Kin House Mead Hall" or what not, it would be very appropriate to have the extra-extra-large versions of these.

While I'm on the subject of tapestries, I'd really love it if their graphics could be updated to be "dual-sided" like the Roving Threat tapestries are. Its very annoying to pull a Rohan tapestry off a large wall to use it as a curtain or room-divider and find that its invisible when looking at it through the rear / back (the side that normally would face the large-wall-slot). I love the flexibility that we now have with decorations-movement; but it would really be worthwhile if whoever is in charge of housing could take a look back at some of these and "fill-in" the invisible spots that unfortunately are on some of these decorations.

So, one of the things that would be very cool- if we could have those large tapestries- would be if they had the same art on the front and rear of the decoration item during placement. That way, there's no "invisible rears" in such items.

Other Rohirric items that would be cool to have are:

The Meduseld floor pattern
The "outdoors" Meduseld floor pattern (i.e. the texture that's immediately outside the Golden Hall along those stairs).
A Meduseld wall pattern.
A Helm's Deep floor pattern.
A Helm's Deep wall pattern.
Rohan-themed music (preferably the Chance Thomas tracks from East Rohan for the Wold, Norcrofts, Sutcrofts, and the Helm's Deep track is nice too).
Aldburg Statues
Rohirric Tower yard items (hopefully with some way to climb them- even if that means affixing stairs going up around the tower).
Rohirric palisade yard items (hopefully large enough so that you could feasibly link these together in straight lines or different angles).
Rohirric Stable Huge Yard item
Anything that is involved in rebuilding Hytbold should have a housing item equivalent
Throne of Edoras Replica (Special Furniture / Large Yard)
Long Rohirric Meadhall Fire-Pit
Rohirric Barrow (complete with Simbelmynë)
Rohirric Bridge (Enormous Yard- of the covered-bridge kind; can be raised from the ground with upper foundations and stone stairs on each side)
Rohirric Mill (Enormous Yard- similar to the kind that we initially discover in Limlight Gorge; it appears in Hytbold as well).
Norcrofts Hytbold Camp Arrangement (Enormous Yard)- basically an entire Rohirric Camp with everything added like what you phase-in in the Norcrofts part of rebuilding Hytbold)
Wold Hytbold Camp
Sutcrofts Hytbold Camp
Entwash Vale Hytbold Camp
Hytbold Stone Wall (of the type that lines the roads in rebuilt Hytbold- including with the iron fences and flowers)
Cliving Pool (Enormous Yard- mirroring the stone-built water pools that straddle the entrance to Cliving's Mead Hall)
Nurzum's Ice Formation (of the kind we encounter in Wildermore- those large, jutting Ice Crystals that have the "Forochel effect" when you pass too close to them)
Fallows Barn (Huge Yard?)
Fallows Windmill (Please turn all Rohirric wind-mills into Huge Yard slots; that's what they truly fit... There's always a vast space around them currently as enormous yard slots, and it looks strange...)
Fallows Stable (Enormous yard- possibly)
Fallows Tilled Field (planted)
Fallows Tilled Field (charred)
Sutcrofts Barn; Sutcrofts stable; Sutcrofts tilled field (these fields should literally dwarf the size of current huge yard fields we can get in Minas Tirith)
The Seat of Seeing Replica *(Enormous Yard- the top, "ship's bow" portion of Amon Hen including the stairs leading up to it and the Seat; this should be able to fill an enormous yard slot and more so).
Argonath Isildur Replica (We have the Anarion Statue from Minas Tirith; we are missing the Isildur version)
Easterling War Tent (from Brown-lands and northeastern Wold; enormous yard)
White Hand War Tent (from Isengard; huge yard)
Theodred's Grave Replica (Enormous Yard- from Westfold's version of the Fords of Isen)
Gates of Isengard Replica (Enormous Yard)
Gates of Isengard Ruined Replica (Enormous Yard)
Isengard Chain Fence (Large yard- these are those chain fences that line the roads of Isengard)
Isengard Carpet (the kind we find inside the Orthanc instances; these also appear in many Gondor and Rohan houses, they have the gold trim pattern on them)
Isengard Curtain (see the kinds of curtains that are in the "Fire and Ice" part of the Orthanc raid; this can be a "large wall" slot though of course much larger)
Foundry Forge Replica (as in the 6-man)
Isengard Tree Green (from the session play as Grima; small yard)
Isengard Tree Orange (small yard)
Wormtongue's "No Mere Writ He" bookshelf (as seen in Grima's chambers in Edoras; large wall)
Draped Rohirric window (also seen in Grima's chambers in Edoras; large wall)
Rohirric War Table (as seen in Eomer's House in Edoras- special furniture).
Wormtongue's Chest (large furniture; where Herugrim is found by the player in Grima's chambers)
Rohirric Watch Dias (where there are guards flanking the stairs leading up to Meduseld; they sit in chairs; large yard)
Rohirric Tall Brazier (also leading up to Meduseld; small yard)
Helm's Deep Barricade
Helm's Deep Catapult
Helm's Deep Ballista
Helm's Deep Replica of Helm Hammerhand Statue
Helm's Deep Hornburg Replica (enormous yard)
Helm's Deep Glittering Caves wall texture
Helm's Deep Glittering Caves floor texture
Helm's Deep Glittering Caves Large Crystal Formation
Helm's Deep Glittering Caves large rock formation
Helm's Deep Culvert Replica
Helm's Deep Deeping Wall Tower Replica
Helm's Deep Gatehouse Replica (complete with gate that opens and closes; enormous yard)
Helm's Deep Helm's Dike Stone Fortification Replica (that players often stand-on; they dot Helm's Dike- can always add stairs leading up to them or include part of a hill as part of the decoration).
Theoden's War Tent Replica (as seen in Far Anorien)
Halifirien Beacon Replica (similar to the Minas Tirith Beacon, but using the more ruined, gold style the Halifirien one has, the one you can see from Beaconwatch and later visit in Far Anorien).
Helm's Deep Soldier Battalion (including Rohirric Officer- mimicking what this currently looks like in Big Battles).
Mead Hall Long Feasting Table with Inhabitants (so you can place a large table that already has many Rohirrim eating, drinking, emoting; it wouldn't make sense to have an empty mead hall other than housing guards and inviting friends).



There's so many possibilities This was only a fraction of what I could think of...

I'm so excited for Rohan housing

Seriously!

Look at you! Fangirling over something they do. I'm happy for you.

Look at you! Getting a chance to troll a dedicated player who show some positive energy to these forums. I`m happy for you, being all you can be ????

Used to be a "fan".

Never been a "girl".


After posting my Christmas Poem (thanks again everyone for your very kind comments) I had decided to retire from posting/responding on the LOTRO forums. Seemed like the right time and the game itself had just become so frustrating after all these years.

Made it a month. lol Ah well. Thanks also to everyone for your "where are you" and "hope everything is ok" PMs.

Neebplayer, not sure if you're being sarcastic or not...but if you are...well then, I would answer with something rather biting, but Aranaan already replied very well.

[Echoweaver]

Just thought I'd drop in to ask for KITCHEN FURNISHINGS.

Or, really, just more mundane furnishings in general. We have lots of decorative decorations, but I'm finding it hard to furnish a house in a way that looks like someone might live there. I'm using D & Co du Milleu to find stuff, but I can't always get them!

We have a Rohirrim cupboard already, so that looks good . How about one already filled with food?

How about a feast table that includes chairs so I don't have to use up my small hooks adding chairs??

[Laurelinarien]

I'd love that!! Or at least a "set/arrangement" of chairs that'd only require one slot, lol
