We’re very pleased to announce the LOTRO Player Council!

[Darlgon]

What if I’m chosen for the council and people harass or grief me in game because of my participation or if they don’t like suggestions the council made?

Harassment is harassment and a violation of the EULA, TOS and Community Guidelines. Players engaging in this behavior for any reason are subject to action based on the existing prohibitions against harassment.

Wow.. so sad you had to include that part. But also realistic as some people cant keep their mouth shut. But, if they are harassed or griefed in game, guess what, they most likely violated the NDA condition of not revealing council information.

However, I might add a request. Make it avail to say.. 5/10 of the most active members of the previous council avail, either as an executive council or as members of the council to allow some continuity of the body into the second year. After all, then Turbine does not take full responsibility on retraining a whole new class every year. Take a lesson from the House and Senate, with overlapping terms to prevent having to train a whole new bunch of guys who dont know how things work each year. (Well, maybe the theory was sound, even if the House and Senate actually show how it is NOT supposed to work.)
