PRESS RELEASE

From Turbine:

The Bonfire Glade is a seemingly pleasant place of long grasses, surrounded by dense forest and open to the sky... but can you escape that strange lingering sense of woe and foreboding that hangs about the mysterious Old Forest?

From Turbine:

The LOTRO forums are currently down and we're investigating. Thanks for your patience while we troubleshoot and fix the problem!

From Turbine:

In Book 12: The Ashen Wastes, we’re addressing some of your feedback about the Champion class. While not as involved as a full-on “Month of” update, a Champion won’t want to miss the dev diary about the latest update to their class!

From Turbine:

It’s the Month of the Guardian! This class update focused on providing interesting and viable alternative playstyles for the class while addressing core concerns such as repair costs and offensive stances. Take a look at what the Month of the Guardian has in store!

From Turbine:

Explorers who venture to High King’s Crossing in the Evendim area have been awed at the three great statues of the kings of old that guard the crossing of the River Baranduin. Though the crossing has long lain abandoned, their sheer size and craftsmanship never fails to inspire.

From Turbine:

Take a brief look at the Rogmyl, lesser fire demons enthralled by the will of the Balrogs. Although a Rogmul is a minor spirit, its evil will and fierce strength can still be quite deadly to the adventurer.
