LOTRO Events Schedule

[hobbit1968]

Harvestmath Festival needs to start earlier. Not halfway through the month. Seriously. You guys screwed up last years Festival release date due to the schedule mess that you created.

[Elmagor]

When did they fix it? I must have missed those patch notes

NPC morale pool in skirmish? Somewhere around spring-summer 2020.

The Event Schedule has now been updated with the current state of our events schedule for the year 2021. Times and bonuses are always subject to change.

Thank you so much!

Its great to know!

Thanks for the update, Cordo! Very much appreciated.

Hey there!
Any chance of repeating the #freelotroquests like last year?

I think it happens only if all 150 vaccines against Covid fails...

Thanks for the events update. No Yule fest encore this year?

Any news on when the Curator is going to return? Last year it was on the event calendar, not this year.

The Curator was only added to the calendar after it appeared on the servers so we would know how long we had to use our Figments of Splendour. As much as I would like for them to announce The Curator ahead of time, it has always been a "surprise release" with no date set in stone. Not knowing means people won't prepare ahead of time. That way they will tend to splurge on lootboxes when it is time.

There are hundreds of posts why this doesn't make sense, but it is the way it is.

Ah ok cool, thanks!

While I don't have more specific dates to give you today, the current plan is to replace Filbert Fig with Rowan Raspberry (with some additional cosmetic options) in June-ish. Rowan Raspberry will be replaced by Myrtle Mint (with some additional cosmetic options) in November-ish. Nothing to announce today about The Curator, but we are talking about it.

ADVANCED NOTICE ON THE FIGMENT NPCS?!?!!?! CORD!!! You're lucky we're all sitting down right now!


Bit of a callback but the open communication is a nice change of pace, even if it's "Ish" it gives the game community some level of forward planning

We are extending the Ill Omens Skirmish Event through March 14th after hearing from those of you needing a bit more time due to real life responsibilities or other reasons. The end date of the Ill Omens Skirmish Event is now 3/15/21 3:00 AM Eastern.

When will be the next Hobnanigans?

Perhaps extend the Anniversary a bit too? It's always been the most difficult festival to earn tokens for.

Cord- Is there any chance we could have Buried Treasure at least 4 times per year? (Maybe alternate with Hobnanigans on the first weekend of every-other month?) It's only 0NE weekend at a time, ...and having it on a Holiday weekend was rough-- We had other plans IRL, so we barely got any game time in. ...Please consider this? It's a very popular Event, and one of my Favourites!

I will pass along the feedback! Seems possible.

I don't particularly like the Buried Treasure event and have always skipped it. I intend to do so in the future.

But the point of this post is to agree that it seems more popular than that other event featuring fowl play and abuse of hens and it would be good to see it more often and that other abomination less often.

A hen's life is not an easy one - let the egg layers have a happy and peaceful life and may the fryers and roasters live in comfort and ignorance of their fate until the end.

I love this suggestion! I am 1 of those people that like the Treasure Hunt event more than Hobnanigans, so i am more likely to participate on it, if was more often.

I somehow managed to miss adding this weekend's Hobnanigans to the calendar, sorry about that. Runs through 6/6. Will update calendar shortly.

[Cordovan]

Ok, added the rest of Hobnanigans through the year as well. I have also double-checked and other than having missed Hobnanigans the schedule remains comprehensive and accurate.

I appreciate your past and ongoing diligence. Having a complete and precise schedule of events is a significant quality of life feature.

Cordovan how could you! My word!



Nah, it's all good. Sometimes it's nice to get a surprise.

Thanks for adding the dances to the Midsummer festival.
