I would try it,but adventures are a ruddy affair. I will stay in my house and be respectable, minding my own business. Have a good morning.

I think they were suppose to be up and running already and were delayed. Aug 1st would mean they were only a couple of weeks late.

A Ringbearer in the fight against the Nazgul can turn the tide, removing some of the invulnerability the Ringwraith has, though it may still take upwards of fifty players to down.

The state LOTRO is in..... good luck with that. At least after the first week honymoon period is over.

50+ players and its not a slide show? I play LoTRO and maybe its just my older comp but 50 players in one area dosnt work out to well

I think it’s just an event so there should be enough players in the short term who are interested.

I wonder if the whole Ringwraith fights are going to end up being like how the old Neverwinter Online Dragon fights were.

For those that never played Neverwinter Online certain zones had Dragons that would appear on a cycle and player's would just camp the area waiting for them (there was actually a count down timer you could check for it's arrival).

When it arrived it was a rush to get to the Dragon and land a blow so you'd get a kill credit, but as in any game those stronger / boosted characters could get in first and basically one shot it leaving a bunch of players with no kill credit.

Better would be if it worked like the Age of Conan World Bosses.   Each month World Bosses would show up in certain spots, players would call out the location / instance and everyone would pile in and yes it was a slide show and you quickly learned to set all graphics to low and turn off particle effects so FPS wouldn't be bad.  But it always took a while to kill it so everyone got a chance to land a blow.

Unfortunately you always end up with players that land 1 blow and then park their characters out of the way and the player than goes and does something else while they wait for the others to kill the World Boss.   I've seen fights where half the players are just parked and it takes forever to kill the boss cuz so few are actually fighting.
