Official LOTRO thread


Recommended Posts

hey bman, can u tell me anything about LOTRO pvp, or theres not much of pvp? i read somewhere its alot about quests mainly

PvP in LOTRO is an isolated entity. there are currently 2 zones in which you can PvP. The way it works isnt complicated, but different from other PvP systems. It's not a system when you create a typical character and can go to the prescribed zones and beat on other characters. The people you would be fighting are what are referred to as "creeps" (player made mobs). Players can create mobs from the login screen that allow you to fight against the regular players (freeps) in the PvP zones. Much like a regular toon, creeps can be created as a specific class with specific abilities, which can be advanced over time. As a creep, within the PvP zones, you can quest, kill free people (normal PC toons), and take part in siege battles. There are also some number of keeps and hotpoints that creeps and freeps fight over.

There're lots of specifics to it that would be too in depth to get into, but to summarize, it's an isolated PvP where you create an evil character that you can customize/advance as you achieve certain goals and kill regular players. It's interesting and can be fun.

Any of the LOTRO players on here seen the new screens for book13, the Quest UI looks magnificent! If not check it out on www.lotro.com

I haven't got to yet, haven't played for a week or 2, going to check it out now!

oh well thats not a game for me then I guess, I need alot of PVP in a game :x

The pvp in this game is horrible. Hours just shooting arrows at creeps, who run away after you hit them 3 times, then come back healed. Repeat. There you have the PVP mechanics.

Well I went to Forchel last night and currently on Book 13 Chapter 7. Forchel really is beautiful, high props to turbine on another great update. Can't wait to see what Moria brings.

Oh darn, now I have to spend more money and get more time lol

As some know I started playing again.

I never got into finding/buying clothing to make my character look cool, but now he looks really stupid. Where are the best places to get sweet clothing, and merchandise and stuff like that? Or do you really have to be a high level to do that, level 12 at the moment.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.
    • Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
    • Wow, 50% increase for the base model. That's steep!
    • A group made up of dozens of cybersecurity experts, including several well-known veterans of the industry, published an open letter to the U.S. government asking it to lift the export control order on Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos models. According to the open letter, “this action has taken the best models away from [cybersecurity] defenders” who now can’t use the models to find vulnerabilities and make their software and products more secure. “To pull the best capabilities away from defenders without a good reason when our adversaries are rapidly advancing is dangerous,” read the letter. On Friday, the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to limit the export of Fable and Mythos, citing national security concerns, without explaining the specific reasons behind the order, according to Anthropic. In response, the company suspended access to the models to all users worldwide.     https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/15/cybersecurity-vets-protest-dangerous-us-government-ban-on-anthropics-most-powerful-models/
