Hobbit Adventurer - sounds like an oxymoron to me. One can always easily imagine living a peaceful life of the small folk, but can you imagine hobbits thinking of living a life of a hero? When the need calls though, small folk can appear to be of a much larger stature. Unfortunately for our "hero" the transition period might last a bit longer than expected and might be a road filled with thorns (or fire, bruises, crazy goblin engineers with sharp tools, etc.)Click here to read our latest Epic comic

You have probably saw in our previous news, that for the last few days we were hunting wolves through the Old Forest, and marking the places where you can find them. During that exhausting work, a nutty idea crosses my mind for the new comic. Don't worry, our Old Forest map for wolves does not have anything in common with this comic:)

Dear visitors we have released new LOTRO guide and improved one of our pages.

- The Fellowship Maneuvers (also known as Fellowship Combos) page has been updated with new information introducing a list of all the conjunctions we could find and some more descriptions on the matter.

- Although we do not intend on becoming a LOTRO database site we do want to provide you with some guides and help in solving things we find a bit harder to grasp or solve. In that quest of ours we have released our first little quest guide for the Quest: Forest Wolves . When we first made the comic about the Old Forest Wolves the response we got had one thing in common - and that is that this was the first time most people ever saw that many wolves in one place. So we went out and combed the Old Forest for you and recorded the locations of all the wolves we stumbled upon.

Hope you enjoy these additions to our site.

WESTWOOD, MA – June 5, 2007 - Today, Turbine, Inc. and Codemasters Online Gaming announced the details of the first free update for subscribers to The Lord of the Rings Online™: Shadows of Angmar™, the #1 selling PC title in North America, Germany, UK and France. Book 9: Shores of Evendim, the first of many planned free updates to the world of Middle-earth, introduces an entirely new landscape region, over 100 additional quests, the battle for Helegrod raid, nine new monsters and major enhancements to monster play and the music system. The Lord of the Rings Online has been enthusiastically received by many gaming critics, including The New York Times, USA Today, Yahoo!, PC Gamer, GameSpot and Game Informer in the US as well as The Sunday Times, The Guardian, CVG, Eurogamer, PC Juegos and 4Gamers in Europe.

“The Lord of the Rings Online has taken the world by storm and we’re thrilled with the community’s response to the game,” said Jeffrey Anderson, president and CEO of Turbine, Inc. “Shores of Evendim offers an enormous amount of content that delivers even more value to our subscribers.”

David Solari, Vice President and General Manager of Codemasters Online Gaming, commented “We are ecstatic to unveil the first in a long line of planned free updates to The Lord of the Rings Online. In just over six weeks, thousands of players have already experienced the world of Middle-earth.”

As the Fellowship prepares to leave Rivendell, Aragorn must re-forge Narsil, the Sword of Elendil. Gandalf has asked for help in Aragorn’s search of the lands of Evendim for an ancient jewel that once belonged in the sword’s hilt. This powerful relic must be recovered before the Dark Lord Sauron finds it. Players are challenged to secure the valuables of the abandoned city, defy Angmar’s encroaching grip on Annuminas, and aid Aragorn in his quest to re-forge Narsil.

Beginning June 13th, heroes can adventure to the Shores of Evendim, the first of many free updates to The Lord of the Rings Online.

NEW FEATURES:

- Discover Evendim — About 100 miles north of the Shire, in northern Eriador, lies Evendim, a vast region dominated by the Lake Nenuial, the ‘Lake of the Twilight’. On the southern shore, the ancient abandoned city of Annuminas -- the former capital of the kingdom of Arnor ­is well known amongst the Free Peoples. For according to the Legends, amidst its ruins lay a great wealth and powerful artifacts now threatened by evil creatures and the nefarious forces lurking in Angmar.

- Over 100 New Quests — The story continues for players as they aid the Fellowship and encounter new adventures, characters and monsters including the Rogmul!

- Raid in the Battle for Helegrod — Challege the fearsome dragon Thorog in a massive 24-player raid in the Misty Mountains.

- Major Updates to the Music System — In addition to the new percussion and bass instruments, players can now utilize a new music notation system that enables them to compose music offline and upload it to your character in-game.

- New Collectible Armor Sets — Seven new sets of epic armor enable players to gain progressive bonuses for each piece of armor worn from a set.

Week or so ago Silriel and me were questing around in Bree land. Silriel is one of those players that sees a mining resource from miles away - has her vision focused on it and sees nothing else until she sees ore in her bags. On one of those occasions she got her ore and all of a sudden we see "THIEF!" written in our chat window. We look around and there's a dwarf guardian standing there all puffing and smoking with anger. Apparently he was about to mine that resource and something lagged for him and Silriel got to it first. She, of course, had no idea he was there because all she could see was the mining node. Now, this topic has been covered several times by various other LOTRO sites and comics and we wanted to do something special and different. This being our 10th casual comic we wanted to organize a mini in-game event and give a chance to the actual players on our server to get a chance and be featured in our webcomic. And so we announced our first ever Live comic shoot and started spamming the OOC and Regional channels on Sunday night about the upcoming event. The spamming got lost quickly among all the other "LFF Chapter 11s" and "LFM Bone Man" requests but there were a few brave souls that answered our call and joined in on the fun and here we are with our first comic featuring the real LOTRO community. Thank you all very much for helping us and we are looking forward on doing more events like this in the future.

I was so happy to be able to play music in LOTRO. It was a major selling point for me. I already imagined myself gathering huge crowds in front of the Prancing Pony with my impeccable performance of Stairway to heaven. Once I purchased my lute I found out the following - I have as much music in me as a rampaging Oliphaunt. Of course - it was not my fault that I can't keep a tune - it is my damn cheap keyboard I tell ya...

Is there a distinction between a warrior and his/her weapon? Does one exist without the other. Could have Aragorn be a hero without Anduril or Bilbo without his trusty Sting? Our heroine got a weapon in the last episode. I think it's time we see if that is the weapon that defines this hero.

Whether you think that we have become lazy or not (for the lack of new content in the past few days) here is a little preview of our next epic comic. The full version in all its glory should be made available very soon. The site changes are almost 100% as well so we should be making a few very nice announcements very soon.
