The issue is affecting any repeatable quest. This includes quests in Moria, Lothlorien, and the Ettenmoors.

Any repeatable quest that you had open when book 8 went live should be cancelled. If you complete it and turn it in it will reset the counter on that quest. For places like Lorien and Moria this isn't as large an issue as those quests do not grant deeds or items for the most part and you cannot lose anything proviously earned.

In the Ettenmoors however, it will reset the counters on your deeds and map progressions. You will not lose maps you've already earned but you will lose progress towards the next set and have to start over.

Cancel any repeatable quest you currently have open and you'll avoid the issue.

A potential cause of the recurring lag issues on all Lotro worlds are certan NPCs in the Ettenmoors. Players should be aware this means there will be less help from NPCs when fighting in certain areas of the Ettenmoors.

The patrolling Freep/Creep soldier/archer NPCs in the Isendeep were disabled.

When a server is performing poorly, it is possible for AI pathing to become "starved" leading to the occurrence of anti-exploit mode on monsters.

Sadly, the horse races are currently disabled. But, they are under construction for future books with several significant improvements and changes.

The festival run token is still being offered as a reward to those who can generate a sizeable quantity of barter tokens. This means the Lithe horse and pony will still be available to those who look forward to owning this eye-catching mount.

Following developments overnight on the live US service, Codemasters Online has decided to withhold the release of Book 8 until the patches/hotfixes can be applied.

In addition to the instances that needed to be closed, it transpired that a serious issue with stuck characters has manifested rendering many players unable to move or to log in.

In order to avoid these problems, we have decided to postpone the Book 8 release until we can go live with the fixes to these issues. The hotfixes for the instance bugs and the stuck characters issue are currently in test with our QA department. Working around the clock we will attempt to update to Book 8 tomorrow, (subject to approval). Please note that further issues discovered on the US service may preclude us from releasing Book 8 until further hotfixes are received.
