Just Joined this forums. would like to say hello to every one.

Really glad to get into this forum
It’s what I am looking for.
Hope to know more member here.

I look for topics that interest ME the long time player, that explain or rarely show me something or a way to do something that is quicker/better than the way I had done it…

Also the KEY posts are 1) bullroarer patch notes, and 2) dev replies

1) bullroarer is the preview server and isengard is the true beta/test server or liken it to isengard is a closed alpha while bullroarer is a beta (sometimes open sometimes not) when things hit bullroarer they rarely get changed more than a teeny tweak as a several time closed bullroarer participant our cries and beggings for fixes/suggestions rarely were implemented

so today (4-1-10) I see a new patch list

http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.php?&postid=4531798#post4531798

and in it:

Cook

* Fixed an issue where campfire kit recipe scrolls were not filtering properly in Novice and Expert Cook vendor windows. These recipes will now show up correctly when filtering by profession tier.
* A bug was introduced for some Supreme Cook’s Guild Cooked Food recipes which resulted in these recipes requiring far fewer ingredients than intended. The following recipes have been updated and now need the full amount of required ingredients to be executed:
o Superior Rack of Lamb with Mint Sauce Recipe
o Superior Shepherd’s Pie Recipe
o Superior Bread and Jam Recipe
o Superior Lothlórien Waybread Recipe
o Superior Golden Wood Roast Recipe
o Superior Galadhrim Ration Recipe

end of quote

so I would make an fyi or alert post at my kin site or other sites mentioning the change in the costs of the cook recipes

changes that affect the pocketbook of your characters is usually a hot topic

I can actually answer this directly and honestly. Mostly because I did so all weekend long to players and press alike. PAX East is a first year show and as such fairly small. It also fell at an odd time in LOTRO’s Marketing cycle. Right after a release (Volume III: Allies of The King) and just before our Third Anniversary. So we did not make any announcements. We have announcements we’re preparing for a bit later, but they weren’t things we were ready to unveil at PAX East, especially considering the comparatively small audience.

With DDO, there happens to be a content update right around the corner, so the timing was perfect to show off what those players were going to see in the very near future.

LOTRO certainly didn’t get short shrift, we had lines around our booth every day of the show with new and current players lining up to get signed copies of the game. We literally went through stacks and stacks. Some players waited in line for over an hour for signatures. I spoke to a good many reporters about the game (both US and European) and we ran a $9.99 show special for PAX that had a tremendous response. We’re seeing a lot of new players coming to the game as a result of PAX.

So no, I’m sorry, you’re going to have to wait awhile longer for an official announcement.

while there isnt really anything there worth posting about it gives you stuff to talk about in chat ….

If you have any requests or questions please feel free to voice them

I’m sorry if I sometimes come across a a little doom and gloom concerning Lotro, but sometimes games are changed by the companies that produce them from what you the player thought was the games focus to a different path…

but after 38 months I still get on and might be able to help you with things…
