As promised, Lord of the Rings Online’s spring festival returns this week – tomorrow, actually, though update 34.3 is live on the servers after maintenance today.
“This year’s festival offers new cosmetic cloaks, a cosmetic pet puppy, and a variety of new housing decorations available for barter,” Standing Stone Games promises. “The Festivity vendor offers a new cosmetic shield and Sickle-fly cosmetic pet. The festival begins at 10:00 a.m. Eastern on March 9th and runs until 3:00 a.m. Eastern on March 28th” The studio’s linking back to last year’s event for a run-down of how to go about your spring party business.
The rest of the patch is fairly minor; SSG has tweaked Beorning trait Desperate Shouts, fixed a few bugs, and updated the featured instance rotation to include Great Barrow – Thadúr, Dungeons of Naerband, Library at Tham MÃrdain, Warg-pens of Dol Guldur, Askâd-mazal, the Chamber of Shadows, and Helegrod – Giant Wing.
