Lord of the Rings Online is heading to Northern Mirkwood, Erebor, and Minas Morgul

Is the Mordor expansion available for LOTRO Points yet?

I just realized how casual a player of this game I’ve become:

Northern Mikwood? Okay I guess. Minas Morgul? Yeah, whatever.

A Playable fiddle! Ahhh yeah! Festival updates! Finally! Updates to Dwarf and Hobbit models (head explodes) .

Well i can almost smell more lootboxes with stats gear. It´s a shame what greedy stone game does to LotRO. I almost lost interest in that game. Maybe i will play another Char to 50 to just revisit the old content with my life time account.

Their cash shop practices a long with those horrible loot boxes pretty much made me quit. I used to be able to tolerate the cash shop in this game, but I’m just fed up with it, which is too bad because this is a great game.

I tried Lotro twice. This past April I tried it and my Wireless headset wouldn’t work. So I moved onto something else. I downloaded it again this month. Same issue(yes I fiddled around with the sound settings). Now I’m cashing in SWL instead. How do you release an entire Expansion without fixing bugs? That’s telling me that they don’t care. I give Lotro a year before it’s tossed in the waste bin, officially…

I would’ve preferred Northern Mirkwood to be a complete expansion with 4-5 zones. With everything crammed into a single update, hopefully the area won’t feel too claustrophobic.

Still, really looking forward to it, of course.

Unfortunately, it’s not stemming the tide of outgoing players. It hasn’t been this empty since the server merges.

I thought the Elks all sailed into the West…

This made me smile a little when it was posted in a thread asking when the game was closing down

Here’s an overview from Enchanted Learning:

In about 5 billion years from now, the sun will begin to die.

As the Sun grows old, it will expand. As the core runs out of hydrogen and then helium, the core will contract and the outer layers will expand, cool, and become less bright. It will become a red giant star.

After this phase, the outer layers of the Sun will continue to expand. As this happens, the core will contract; the helium atoms in the core will fuse together, forming carbon atoms and releasing energy. The core will then be stable since the carbon atoms are not further compressible.

Then the outer layers of the Sun drift off into space, forming a planetary nebula (a planetary nebula has nothing to do with planets), exposing the core.

Most of its mass will go to the nebula. The remaining Sun will cool and shrink; it will eventually be only a few thousand miles in diameter!

The star is now a white dwarf, a stable star with no nuclear fuel. It radiates its left-over heat for billions of years. When its heat is all dispersed, it will be a cold, dark black dwarf – essentially a dead star (perhaps replete with diamonds, highly compressed carbon).

It is likely that when the sun dies we will have to evaluate our ability to continue developing the game.
