Vol­ume 2 Book 9: Siege of Mirk­wood, Patch 1 is up on Bull­roarer for test­ing. For some rea­son it feels as though there’s been a longer gap between the release and Patch 1 than usual, but maybe things are just drag­ging for me. You can read the full notes on the offi­cial forums: http://​forums​.lotro​.com/​s​h​o​w​t​h​r​e​a​d​.​p​h​p​?​t​=​3​1​2​145

As usual there are issues float­ing around that aren’t addressed by this patch, but we’ll have to hope they’re addressed in the future. I know there are sev­eral camps of peo­ple who are unhappy with some of the cur­rent legacy options. Man­ag­ing that well seems like a night­mare, I don’t envy the peo­ple work­ing on it.

Addi­tion­ally, there’s a change to shared stor­age that is worth explic­itly noting:

Quest items are no longer allowed in shared stor­age. Quest items that were stranded in Shared Stor­age are destroyed the first time you login a player on the account. Play­ers who have the related quest under­way will need to can­cel and re-acquire the quest to receive a new quest item.

I was under the impres­sion quest items couldn’t be placed in shared stor­age, but if you hap­pened to do this, be sure to restart your quests. It’s an annoy­ance, but hope­fully not a major one for most peo­ple. I am under the impres­sion that if you remove them before the patch you should be safe, so give that a shot!
