This *is* the other place.
When can we expect a new legendary or alternate ruleset server? What, if anything, has been decided about whether it will be a progression server, whether it will let us choose how much experience we get the way we now can choose difficulties (e.g. the Treebeard 40% the Shadowfax 150% or somewhere in the middle) or anything else about the ruleset it will operate under.

Is there any chance you could give the skirmishes a bit of love and attention? Just updating the skirmish soldiers and the loot tables to match current game levels would be outstanding. Skirmishes were always a way to keep people occupied doing group content in between updates. Skirmishes are good because they can be run solo, duo, three person, six person and twelve person. They are very versatile and there are enough of them in existence to occupy people if the motivation to run them is there.

Are we getting a new racial trait system? The picture in the UI is too small for the window and the system is very outdated. Would be fun to have a similar system like we have with the traits.

Is there any way you could consolidate old currencies and adjust caps on old content and things not related to end game? It would make things so much easier for everyone involved with fewer currencies and reasonable/no caps.

Was the talk to press about War and Normal Steeds in anyway entail anyone at SSG to master the control at all it's speeds for combat and also be aware of how crucial the normal mount is for completing festival rides and particular quests negotiating deadly pools in Angmar etc, before you take steps to merge them into something less than the sum of their parts. Only an ignorant player thinks their speed is the advantage, it's the control at all it's speeds.

Why do you continue to offer EXP bonuses via various systems when the game intrinsically has no benefit form levelling but just a gate to better gear? Why the big conn to make your fans buy into it and run their characters into trouble? The guy in the little window next of you most of all.

Alternatively: Why do SSG not realise the game has no intrinsic increase to a character's powers in levelling? It is only a gate to use better gear. Stop with the bonuses that have no commensurate increase in the ability to obtain gear.

Is it possible to remove instance/chest locks on old content? If not, is it possible to have consistent instance/chests locks on all content? It gets very confusing trying to figure out what one can/cannot run. It also causes issue when someone jumps in to help with an old raid like Orthanc and all of sudden everyone in the raid has locks because one person forgot they ran it a couple days earlier.

The whole raid locks, instance limitations, chest locks, etc. is all over the map and different every expansion.

Is it possible to allow skirmish soldiers to fill an empty slot in group content? Currently at most levels under cap there are many instances/raids people are unable to experience because there are not enough people available to run the content with them. Updating skirmish soldiers to be allowed to take the place of a regular player in group content might help alleviate some of the frustration people experience trying to run old content and fill groups.

The Delving System has been rolled out to a few instances now, but I've never seen anyone actually run them and the rewards look like a time sink.
I ran them once for the weekly. Library/School/Maze/Thadur on delving level 1. They were pretty easy, about what I remember them being back in the day, so they must be faceroll on regular mode now. Got a few pieces of useless item level 446 gear, but 250 writs (really more like 300 with your chests) for a stress-free hour of your time isn't bad.

Our Executive Producer Severlin will join me tomorrow for +Cord of the Rings, starting at Noon Eastern (-4 GMT) on Twitch.tv/LOTROstream. General Q&A from chat and we'll bring in questions from this thread here per usual.
My biggest wishlist item is better visibility in game for pointer and chat text.
My best friend I have gamed with daily, needs better visibility options. she can no longer read chat ( I stream and read to her ) She needs cataract surgery, and will have that when her doctors get to it. ( Right now it will be awhile yet looking at November for therapy for pre-surgery, then some time next year for the surgery unless they step her up to an earlier time frame )
I know we have asked for better pointer visibility. I think, if there was a chroma option ( where the pointer shifts to reverse image colour, of what it points over ) or allow us to change the colours of the pointer like we can with chat, would be a great help for now. Font size currently only goes to 23pxs. If those could be up to 30px? This also would help a great deal.
The playerbase isn't getting younger, we are old timers, and we need to see :)
I would appreciate this, over any other wishlist item in upcoming patches.
If you could pass this on to Severlin and team, You'd make the day of us.
I know I'm not the only one hoping for this.
Thank you for your time :)

The Bombadil server was a fun and popular event. Now there exists two classes and many players that have never had the honor of being able to experience the Tournament of the Twins...
Will it make a return? Please please please??
Bombadil was epic! We heard there would be something like this, but haven't seen it...

I guess I'll break the ice with the usual quick-questions, skip if already answered:
  • Any updates on UI / 4K support?
  • Any updates on the new Launcher?
  • Any updates on the class reworks?
Also here is my personal one:
  • Is there anything exciting to share regarding Umbar and the future of LOTRO (like a hint for the future), or just something you're proud of?
I have been running 4K for years now, 2 4K monitors side by side. I recently updated to the RTX 4070 and LoTRO became GORGEOUS! My problem is that I must change my setting from 7680 x 2160 at 150% to 4096 x 1536 at 100% whenever I play the game. Being that I use a minimum of 6 desktops, sometimes more, many of my applications need repositioning when I return to full resolution. Hey I know this is the other applications fault and not SSG's, but it would be very nice not have to change resolution every time I want to play my favorite game.

Did you try /ui layout save Name /ui layout load XXX
Thanks Gekh, but it is not the layout in LoTRO. The many Windows applications I run across 7 Windows 10 desktops get somewhat re-arranged when I switch to a lower resolution to play LoTRO. I then have to re-arrange many of them when I restore my 7680 x 2160 resolution.

Believes he is a Wiki
On Belegaer the world chat is full with constant complaints about lags turning up everywhere, even in solo missions. I guess, the 32 Bit server software is at the edge of its capacity? Can this be fixed, preferably with a 64 Bit version that can handle more memory?

Will there be a 'pin' function to fix the chat window in a given place, and even more so, its tabs?


Greetings, Polymachos
