News and Announcements

Book 13 Patch 1 notes can be found here.  It should be getting updated on the normal Thursday maintenance.

Taken from the Codemasters forums:
"In celebration of Book 13 and the addition of the much anticipated Fishing hobby, we want to see your pictures of what you think a Monster would do with a Fishing Pole if one was allowed its putrid hands on one. You’re free to let your imagination go wild."

Elentir is working on a project that may help us find people in similar areas to fellow with more easily.  Please leave him some feedback to help decide what would work best.

There are many players wanting to run several different quests/raids.  Please take a look at The Adventure's Hall and Here in the kinship area for more information.  Let's make things happen so everyone can get through the areas they need!

Due Grats

Andira celebrated her "21st" Birthday this last week!  You can still stop by and send your wishes.

Thea & Aeraendis are having their birthdays this week.  I think birthday spankings may be in order.


Granthir
makes GM Prospector - This means if he digs a hole for himself, he might actually be able to get out of it too!

P.S.  Don't forget May 25th!

Short UpdateMay 11, 2008  
I hereby post an update.  Small one.  Yes, I'm being completely unimaginative today, as opposed to marginally unimaginative.


News and Announcements

We're still looking to fill in the spaces for a future Rift run.

The a couple members of the Alliance are looking to get a Helegrod run going.

Fandiel is looking for people who need Book 2.  He'd prefer people who actually need it, but if we must, we'll enlist the aid of a bodyguard to help out.


Due Grats

Packsenarion, alt of Thordil, hit GM Weaponsmith!
Aiymi, alt of Maura, hit GM Forester!
Dworin, alt of Galarian, made GM Prospector!
And as I logged on to check on something else...Glamwen...Celsia, alt of Chatlin, announced that she had made GM Jeweller!
And as I went back in again, Chat, alt of Chatlin, made GM Metalsmith!

For a complete list of all known kinship crafters who have mastered tier 3 or higher, check here.


Well, that's all I have for this one.  Short one, I know, but that happens.  At least we have more Due Grats this week than last.  Those are the fun ones.

The rock and pool, is nice and cool...May 4, 2008  
News and Announcements

There's a chill in the air, and it blows south from Forochel.  Book 13 has settled onto the servers like a happy dusting of snow.  Alas, not all the snow has proved trustworthy!  Why is it that "Thrill of Danger" is breaking mez, for example?  Why isn't your map working properly?  Why are some corpses in Forochel showing an incorrect icon!?  Obviously, the answer is evil snow!!

...

(oh, okay, it could be that there are some known issues with Book 13.  Read all about them here)

In other news, the winners of the anniversary screeshot competition have been decided.  Feel free to head on over to the Codemasters forums, here, and see the winning entries for yourself (the third picture is particularly amusing).  Go on!  You know you want to!

Events This Week

Well, there was this expansion...

Alas, thanks to Forochel, there have been few actual events taking place this week.  Between Book 13, the new quests in Forochel and fishing, most of the populace is somewhat busy.  However, despair not!  I bring useful information for you!  Information on fishing!  What, you didn't think I was going to spoil Book 13 for you, did you?

First off, those helpful chappies on the US forums have been busy and have put together an immensly useful guide to angling in Middle Earth!  Ever wanted to catch that prized Corageous Carp?  Well now you can see where you need to go!  See here for details.

Ah, but there is more!  Once you have caught your prized trout, how do you know what it will look like when it's stuffed and mounted on your wall?  Well, despair not!  Again, the US forums bring good councel!  Here is a thread which aims to provide pictures of every trophy.  See how I spoil you!

On the Forum

Aeraendis is looking to brave the swamps of Agamaur and Garth Agarwen!  He seeks a reckoning with the gaunt lord Ivar the Blood-Hand, and he also seeks allies!  Sign up here and go kick unusually large wight bottom.  Or some such thing.  Please.  I hate that wight.  Go on...

Nodh is also looking for allies, but for a much darker task.  He seeks to venture into the Rift of Nurz Ghashu and slay the terrors therein!  Thanks to his valliant efforts, we now almost have enough brave adventurers to make the attempt, but we still need a few more!  Come and join us!  Sign up here!  Stop me using so many exclamation marks!

Though they are much fleshed out from their original incarnation, we're still looking for people to contribute to the various class guides in our forums.  Come and share your advice with us!  See here if you're a Champion, here if you're a Guardian, here if you're a Minstrel, here if you're a Captain, here if you're a Loremaster, here if you're a Burglar and here if you're Hunter.  Goodness, that's a lot of here's...

Due Gratz

There do not seem to be any due gratz this week.  I really do feel you're all slacking.  Must be all the fishing...

In Middle Earth

The House of Elentari would like to extend its most joyous felicitations to Mr. Samwise Gamgee and Miss Rose Cotton of Hobbiton upon the occasion of their wedding.  We understand from them that Mr. and Mrs. Gamgee will be shortly moving in to the most desireable property of Bag End with Mr. Frodo Baggins in order to look after him and keep his garden.  Happy news indeed after all the recent upheavals in Bywater!  We wish them both the very best!

That's it for this week folks,

The Leadership Team
