A Casual Stroll to Mordor

There is a new announcement of what is coming with Isengard in regards to new items in the LOTRO store.

As with any information from Bullroarer, this is beta and prices, appearances and store content may change by the time Rise of Isengard is released.

The LOTRO Store on the Bullroarer public test server has had some updates today and Sapience posted the notes on the forums for us to peruse.

Early yesterday there were reports of lag in LOTRO coming out on the forums. Now, most gamers will tell you that “lag happens” and outside of game servers being overloaded a lot of the time lag is on the player’s side. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case.

Today the Bullroarer Patch Notes were updated with the Rune-keeper changes (I’ve included a PDF with the new notes as well for downloading).

This week the Fellowship made it to the Barrow Downs and is now looking to get past Bree in the days to come!

So it seems that with today’s hotfix Turbine snuck in a new enhancement that allows you to click on a “Try it on” button on a cosmetic item’s description page to open up the cosmetic dressing room and preview it on your character!

So we’re back from PAX East and I think the fact that the login servers are down is a huge conspiracy to force me to edit the recordings I have.  I wanted to give a little bit of a “heads up” as to what we have in the way of interviews.  Some are traditional interviews, [...]

An undocumented fix in Book 1 may mean that those using Tactical Damage post level 43 may find themselves hitting a little less harder.

Google’s latest toy, Google Buzz, is now available pulling in all sorts of status messages and feeds from people you follow into one source.

Bullroarer will be down from 12:00 – 4:00 p.m. EST today for updates. The list of updates is fairly short and appear to be mostly just little fixes rather than anything major.
