Since PAX there has been rel­a­tively lit­tle new news regard­ing the upcom­ing ‘Siege of Mirk­wood’ expan­sion. How­ever, today I came across a lit­tle nugget of new infor­ma­tion while trawl­ing through the LOTRO​.com forums. The juice comes from the res­i­dent LotRO lore–mon­key Berephon and his MyLotRO blog — which can be found here.

The blog explains how in his down­time (from fix­ing typos and check­ing the lore used in the new Mirk­wood quests), he was given the oppor­tu­nity to do an Orion style update on a small cor­ner of Mid­dle Earth. Berephon goes on to explain his choice of Fanuid­hol — the orc-infested war-zone north of Lothlo­rien, where there are cur­rently just a few quests. His over­haul will include 14 new tasks which include sev­eral repeat­able quests to gain Lothlo­rien rep­u­ta­tion, IXP, cash and sil­ver branches. A com­ment in the dis­cus­sion, which fol­lows the blog entry indi­cates that highly-prized Lothlo­rien gold leaves may also be included as a quest reward, should the rewards guru per­mit it!

Berephon’s choice to add to the cur­rently lim­ited num­ber of Fanuidhol’s quests is well jus­ti­fied. Based upon my own trav­els in the Golden Wood, any quests that add vari­ety to the reputation-grinding quests in Lothlo­rien is most wel­come, and I look for­ward to see­ing the results.

I didn’t make it to the chat today, but The LotRO Fol­lower was nice enough to post a tran­script. Be sure to check it out.

It ran a bit short, but there’s still some good infor­ma­tion in there. Cap­tains will be inter­ested in read­ing more com­ments about changes to their In Harm’s Way skill. There was also futher talk about DPS changes.

Mike from Under the Ban­ner also man­aged to get a ques­tion in about Tur­bine expand­ing what it offers to web­mas­ters. I’m glad that they’re open to sug­ges­tions, but I have to say I’ve had a really hard time reach­ing them. Some peo­ple might have noticed that I don’t have access to the offi­cial fan­site forum yet haha.

Oh well, we’ll keep it up.

interview

Ten Ton Ham­mer had the oppor­tu­nity to inter­view Turbine’s Aaron Camp­bell about Book 7. A lot of the con­tent will be famil­iar to those of you who have kept up on inter­views, dev chats and forum post­ings. Still, it’s a quick read and worth check­ing out.
