Lord of the Rings Online: Ent Sighting

Lord of the Rings Online's official webpage announced today that they had updated their lorebook with information about where players can get their first look at an Ent, the Tolkien tree-creatuires.
In the woods beside Lake Evendim can be found a tranquil and ancient grove called the Eavespires. It is said that long ago an Ent, one of the mighty tree-herders of Fangorn, came here in search of something his people had lost. It may be that he dwells there yet, for an Age is but a short time to that most ancient of peoples, and the Eavespires has been a vale of peace for a very long time.
With the recent arrival of the Gauredain and giants out of the North, violence and ruin have left their mark upon the Eavespires, and it may yet be that a sleeping rage will be awakened amongst the trees. Elves have visited the grove, seeking escape from the wars of the world, but war may still find them even here, far from the shadow of Mordor.
In developing the Evendim region, the designers at Turbine drew upon Treebeard’s tale of the Ents going abroad in search of the Entwives from The Lord of the Rings to create the Eavespires. Players wanting their first glimpse of a true Ent will wish to visit the forests of Evendim, though it will be a difficult task: Gauredain and giants are not the only threats to the Eavespires . . . wood-trolls have made their way into those lands as well.

Thought this guy was already there......
Yes, I saw him when they added Evendim. He doesn't do much except stand there with the two elves and comment on how hasty we are.
I use Ents for my winter heating. Keeps the bills down. Been killing them all day...that is...in BFME 1. Nothing like watching a horde of goblin archers armed with flaming arrows trying to take down a charging Ent, or two! Can't wait to see what the model looks like online, but I'm a bit of a ways from being able to adventure in that area.
Currently playing: No MMOs. They all suck.
When I got killed on that island with Salamanders , i ve got respawned there in front of that ent ,, that actualy anoyed me and pised me of , for i dont want to be sent to such great places when i get killed somewhere else , i want to explore and find it myself

"It is said that long ago an Ent, one of the mighty tree-herders of Fangorn, came here in search of something his people had lost."
Search of the Ents, read the first book of The Two Towers and when Pippin and Merry get to Treebeard shouse he explains that the Ents had lost the Entwives....
if you spend enough time around there.. the ent will even talk to you directly and ask your help.
