The Mobs of LotRO PDF Print E-mail
Written by Dev Diary

The lands of Middle-earth teem with creatures of every ilk: good or evil, simple or arcane, wild or civilized, fair or monstrous. Thus the zones of Lord of the Rings Online are populated with countless foes and challengers for adventurers and heroes to battle or hunt. If it’ll fight, it’s called a mob.
There are too many mobs roaming the world to count—from the farms of the Shire to the hellish pits of Angmar, from the meekest shrews to a mighty balrog —but in each breed of creature there are distinctive enemies that define their type.
Some of these evil captains, fell queens, and renowned specimens serve as the targets of vital Quests to undermine the Enemy. Others simply possess rare treasures like beryl shards and mithril flakes that the members of any stout fellowship might wish to add to their collective coffers.
To locate a specific mob, see the Lorebook. For a primer on distinctive mobs by type, read on.

Book 8 Release Postponed PDF Print E-mail

Following developments overnight on the live US service, Codemasters Online has decided to withhold the release of Book 8 until the patches/hotfixes can be applied.

In addition to the instances that needed to be closed, it transpired that a serious issue with stuck characters has manifested rendering many players unable to move or to log in.

In order to avoid these problems, we have decided to postpone the Book 8 release until we can go live with the fixes to these issues. The hotfixes for the instance bugs and the stuck characters issue are currently in test with our QA department. Working around the clock we will attempt to update to Book 8 tomorrow, (subject to approval). Please note that further issues discovered on the US service may preclude us from releasing Book 8 until further hotfixes are received.

Today's scheduled maintenance will be finishing earlier than advertised.

Please watch the forums, website and launcher for further updates as they become available
