Gaming / LotRO: The new US 64-bit server, Sting, is expected to open May 21, tomorrow. We will not be setting up an official branch there, but it may lessen population pressure on our two kin branch servers and allow for future growth. This link also tells the intended schedule for "dark world" transfers. These are servers that can't normally be entered and have characters stranded on them.

Gaming / LotRO:

Released today: Update 44.1 This includes new Anniversary Missions, new travel skills to Dun Shûma, and hotfixes.

"The "Another Lovely Year" anniversary quest wrapper is currently not functioning correctly. Rather then requiring some combination of 10 Anniversary Quests or 10 Anniversary Missions, it is requiring completion of both 10 Anniversary Quests and 10 Anniversary Missions in order to complete."

Dun Shûma, The King's Fortress has now opened to Tier 2. The Leading the Charge Deed for Dun Shûma, The King's Fortress runs until 3:00 AM Eastern (-4 GMT) on June 26th.

LotRO news is now also on the social media program called BlueSky, as well as Facebook and X.

The latest on the timing for the new server, Sting. It's been delayed to fix a loss of housing items so they may be returned if a character logs onto the current game world before transferring. If transferring before the fix can be made, remove housing items into inventory for safety.

March 7, 2025 Friday

LotRO: due to unexpectedly high demand for transfers to the new servers and the attendant software and hardware problems that had to be handled, the new game worlds are only now opening. Since so many characters are unable to transfer yet or had difficulties, housing is not yet open for fairness.

A fair number of kins, including ours, are still waiting on kin leaders to successfully transfer. Once a kin leader transfers, the whole network opens up so that any members entering afterwards are automatically kinned. Your kin leader was one of the first to jump into the transfers and therefore has had the joys of being in on all of the craziness, and is still in the process. Deep apologies for that.
