Lotro Pumpkin Carving Contest 2011

Posted on October 19, 2011 by Silriel

pumpkin contest 2011
 
It’s time for a Pumpkin Carving contest again and great rewards like a custom forum title, Turbine Points, and more! Turbine will accept digital photographs of entries from October 18th through November 5th, 2011. Entries must be original creations, should be at least 1024x768 in resolution, and no larger than 6MB in file size.
 

For the Best Lord of the Rings Online Pumpkin, rewards are:

  • 3000 Turbine Points for the LOTRO Store
  • Custom Forum Title: “Master Carver (2011)”

 

One runner-up in this category will receive a custom forum title: “Master Carver (2011)”
 

How to use a pumpkin carving template:

  • Print the template on a sheet of paper.
  • Cut along the dashed lines in the corners (this will help your template lay against the round surface of the pumpkin).
  • Attach the paper to the desired side of the pumpkin where you want the design to show.
  • Follow along the black lines poking small holes through the paper into the pumpkin’s skin.
  • Remove the paper template and you will see dots in the shape of the design on the pumpkin’s skin.
  • Connect the dots, and then start carving! Keep your template beside you to help you as you go – the gray shaded parts are the ones that will come out of the pumpkin.

Lotro Rise of Isengard Patch 1 Notes

Posted on October 18, 2011 by Silriel

The LOTRO Game Servers will be brought down on Wednesday, October 19th from 6:00 AM - 10:00 AM Eastern (-4 GMT) for an update to the game. Turbine has also released the first Rise of Isengard Patch Notes:
 

General

  • Quest XP rewards for higher level quests (level 53+) have been adjusted going forwards. Quest XP had been gradually declining by level, which wasn't the intent at higher levels.
  • Scholar nodes in Dunland were showing up a little too often. We’ve adjusted them accordingly.
  • Landscape treasure containers (Corpses, backpacks, etc) are back! Players will once again find these items scattered across the landscape.
  • Greater Scroll of Delving has been added as a quest reward to the Book 4 epic quest line. Players that have completed Chapter 28 of Volume 3 Book 4 should receive a Greater Scroll of Delving in their inventory upon log in.
