                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Omdat de Kinship - Alliance of the Sun 'nog' niet is overgekomen heb ik even gekeken wat er nodig is om er 1 te stichten:</p>
<p><br /><strong>Requirements:</strong><br /><br /><em>Character Level:</em><br /><br />The player creating the kinship must be at least level 10.<br /><br /><em>Number of Founding Members</em>:</p>
<p>- You need at <strong>least 8 founding members</strong>, including yourself.<br />- These players must stay in the kinship for 24 hours for it to become fully established.<br />- If fewer than 8 members remain after that time, the kinship will disband automatically.<br /><br /><em>Cost:</em><br /><br />- Creating a kinship costs 1 silver (a symbolic fee).<br /><br /><em>Where to Create It</em>:<br /><br />- Talk to a Registrar NPC found in major cities such as:<br /><br /></p>
<p>&#x1f3f0; Michel Delving (Shire)<br />&#x1f3f0; Bree-town (Bree-land)<br />&#x1f3f0; Thorin’s Hall (Ered Luin)<br />&#x1f3f0; Celondim<br />&#x1f3f0; Rivendell<br />&#x1f3f0; Caras Galadhon (for Elves)<br />&#x1f3f0; Esteldín (for higher-level players)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Omdat we geen 8 founding members hebben of kunnen op trommelen denk dat de kinship hem niet gaat worden als de transfer van de kinship niet lukt. </p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vandaag toch maar eens gekeken naar Lotro vanwege de overgang naar 64bit Servers - per voorjaar '25. Er is een periode geweest van een Free Transfer maar als ik inlog heb ik wel de mogelijkheid van TRANSFER in de Launcher maar hij ziet geen characters &#x1f62a; .</p>
2527
<p>Las wel over een Paid Transfer van 2495 Lotro Points maar als er geen characters zichtbaar zijn dan vrees ik het ergste. Zou wel zonde vinden om mijn character kwijt te zijn dan zal ik Lotro niet meer gaan aanraken ben ik bang.</p>

Is het na wat afwezigheid van enthousiasme om de campagne voor te zetten tijd om deze game even op de plank te leggen en is het misschien tijd voor iets anders.</p>
<p>Misschien is het tijd om Lotro weer eens op te pakken en de Alliance of the Sun weer te laten schijnen op de zondagavond.</p>

<h1 style="text-align: center">The Legendary Items Reward Track Has Arrived! </h1>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="https://assets-cdn.daybreakgames.com/uploads/dcsclient/000/000/238/321.png?v=1.0" alt="" /></p>
<p>The Legendary Items Reward Track is now available to all players starting at level 45! This track can be accessed through the Menu (Character → Reward Track). As you play the game and collect Item XP it'll progress the track throughout the season, and if you get all the way to the end there is a repeatable goal for more rewards! We'll refresh the track every season, and the frequency, drop rate, and kind of rewards will change over time. The Legendary Items Reward Track is Account-based, so all of your characters on each world will contribute to the Rewards track for that world, and you can select the rewards on whatever character on that world you prefer.  </p>
<p>All of your characters that earn IXP will contribute to the Reward Track, and IXP is awarded in a way that players at all levels contribute equivalent progress to the track. The Legendary Items Reward Track is focused on your Legendary Items and currently includes rewards such as Enhancement Runes, Sealed Tracery boxes, Embers of Enchantment, Tracery Token boxes, Ancient Script, and more! The Legendary Items Reward Track has 101 levels, with 100 levels to achieve and then a 101st level that repeats until the following season's release. </p>
<p>Since many players have quite a few IXP runes heading into Update 32, we expect this first season’s progress to happen more quickly than in future seasons. Remember that you can Alt+right click to use as many of the stack of runes at one time as you wish. Players can expect to receive Item XP from Quest Rewards and defeating enemies that are within an appropriate level range for them. </p>
<p>The Legendary Item Reward Track scales based on the level of the character applying the IXP, and IXP runes have minimum levels. This means that a minimum level 45 IXP rune will provide more relative progress along the Reward Track when consumed by a level 45 character than it does when consumed by a level 140 character.</p>
<p>We hope you have fun with the new Legendary Items Reward Track! </p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hello again! It’s time to update y’all again on what we have going on. Before I get into that, just a reminder that I’m Raninia, the Producer on The Lord of the Rings: Online, and I plan to continue to write these letters to you on a quarterly basis. You can see my previous letter <a href="https://www.lotro.com/news/lotro-producers-letter-december-21-en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>here.</strong></a></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With that preamble out of the way, let’s talk about what’s happening between April and June!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Our next big update of 2022 – Update 33 - is expected for late-April, which will kick off our 15th Anniversary celebration, and bring with it a few significant surprises:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>First</strong>, we’re adding a new area: the northern region known as the Yondershire, a sparsely populated region of moor, thicket, and fen that has long been home to Hobbit recluses and troublemakers.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:image -->
<figure><img src="https://assets-cdn.daybreakgames.com/uploads/dcsclient/000/000/240/483.jpg?v=1.0" alt="" /></figure>
<!-- /wp:image -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Since the time of Bullroarer Took, the Yondershire has squabbled with the more comfortable parts of the Shire. The upstart Lotho Sackville-Baggins aims to bully the local Hobbits, but they’re none too keen on his designs. Explore the Yondershire, and experience some more delightful Hobbit adventures, our first expansion of the Shire in years!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:image -->
<figure><img src="https://assets-cdn.daybreakgames.com/uploads/dcsclient/000/000/240/482.jpg?v=1.0" alt="" /></figure>
<!-- /wp:image -->

<!-- wp:image -->
<figure><img src="https://assets-cdn.daybreakgames.com/uploads/dcsclient/000/000/240/521.jpg?v=1.0" alt="" /></figure>
<!-- /wp:image -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Second</strong>, we’re bringing back the Anniversary Festival, and we’re adding a whole new festival instance, A Flurry of Fireworks! You’ve been asked to aid with the greatest fireworks display that Bree-land has ever seen. Setting up for the fireworks, things have gotten behind schedule and dusk is fast approaching. You must help keep everyone on task and deliver their fireworks to the proper locations on time! And if you’re looking for a bit more, we’ve got an exciting gift to share with everyone, but we’ll have more info about that when we get closer to our 15th Anniversary.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Third</strong>, we’re making some updates to VIP. Some of the smaller changes will stay under wraps for now, but I'm excited to inform you that VIP will now include the standard versions of the Mordor, Minas Morgul, and War of Three Peaks expansions. You may be wondering, why only those expansions? Well, that brings me to my next announcement.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Fourth</strong>, and long requested, we’re making some big changes to the LOTRO Store. You’ve seen some of the first changes we made a month ago with the release of Rangers and Ruins, which brought the Premium Wallet, Gold Currency Cap, and Virtue, Race, and Class trait slots for free to all players! Starting with Update 33, we’re making the High Elf race free for all players. Now everyone can play as those who beheld the beauty of Valinor, and play as a Captain, Champion, Guardian, Hunter, Lore-master, Minstrel, Rune-keeper, Warden, or Brawler through all of Middle-earth!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:image -->
<figure><img src="https://assets-cdn.daybreakgames.com/uploads/dcsclient/000/000/239/561.jpg?v=1.0" alt="" /></figure>
<!-- /wp:image -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>That, conveniently enough, brings me to the next change: <strong>Rune-keepers, Wardens, and Beornings will now be available for all players to play!</strong> Craft powerful runes, create masterful gambits, or summon the secret of Beorn, as you grow your legacy as a hero in Middle-earth! And if you’d like, you can do all of the above!&nbsp;</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Finally, there’s another change that’s perhaps the biggest we’ve made since The Lord of the Rings: Online went free to play all those years ago... With this update, <strong>all quests, areas, instances, and expansions released between the original launch of LOTRO back in 2007 and up to – and including! - the release of Helm’s Deep will be available for free to everyone</strong>. Quest, explore, and craft your way to level 95 to your heart’s content!<br>As part of our celebration, we’ll have some more announcements lined up, stay tuned in April!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>During this time, we’ll be making progress on our Legendary World of Anor, bringing players there to Isildur’s desecrated fortress city of Minas Morgul, and level cap 130, on April 13th. Less than a month later, on May 4th, Shadowfax will progress to the fabled stronghold of Rohan, Helm’s Deep, and its level cap of 95, which will now be accessible to any VIP at no added cost! And finally, at the end of June Treebeard and Shadowfax will both be making further steps. On June 29th, Treebeard will make its second jump, entering the dangerous forests of the Mirkwood, and Shadowfax will continue marching forward to the half-ruined lands of Gondor and Old Anorien.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Besides all that, we’ll continue with our ongoing work to improve performance and lag, keep adjusting class balance, continue bug-fixing, further refining the new Legendary Item system, and bring Season 2 of the Legendary Item Reward Track. All these improvements will arrive with about every patch.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We promised that we would be making some big announcements for our 15th Anniversary, and we’re confident that we’ve delivered, but we still have a few tricks up our sleeves that we can’t wait to share with you in the weeks and months ahead. 15 years is quite the milestone, and we’ll do everything we can to make it 15 more!</p>

<p>Hello! For those of you who may not know who I am, I’m Raninia, the producer on The Lord of the Rings: Online. Severlin hasn’t gone anywhere, but I’m now picking up the duties of writing these letters and keeping you all abreast of the goings-on with the game.&nbsp;Which brings me to another change being made to these letters – moving forward, these letters will come quarterly, and they’ll cover the next quarter. So today, I’ll be informing you what we’re planning to do from January through the end of March. Next time – which should be around March – I'll give a preview of what’s coming between April through the end of June, and so on.&nbsp;Ok, on to the meaty stuff you’re here for!&nbsp;Our first big update of 2022 – Update 32 - is expected for mid-February, and will begin our celebration of our upcoming 15-year anniversary, and bring with it several things:&nbsp;</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>&nbsp;First, beyond the Falls of Amgaruslun in the Clovengap lies Abnankâra, the Hiddenhoard. Once a grand treasury housing the golden coffers of Durin the Deathless, it has been claimed by Hrímil Frost-heart as her lair within Mount Gundabad. Within this frozen retreat, Hrímil tends her wounds and slumbers, dreaming of vengeance upon Prince Durin and the Dwarves of the Gabil'akkâ. We’re really excited for you all to experience the awesome conclusion of this storyline as we look towards the future. Look forward to seeing this 12-player raid on Bullroarer soon.&nbsp;Second, we’re bringing player housing to Erebor! One of Smaug's last treasure hoards has been opened and the Dwarves of Erebor have moved to reclaim it. Join them in owning a piece of Middle-earth, in the Great Hall under the Mountain! This new premium neighborhood will include 12 Base Premium Houses, 1 Special Base Premium House, 6 Deluxe Premium Houses, and 1 Premium Kinship house, along with a full suite of town services and social spaces for you to enjoy with your kinship and neighbors! In addition to the new neighborhood, Erebor housing introduces new exterior music and dayfile hook types to allow players even more customization options for their homes! We also intend to extend the usage of housing permissions to allow players to make their yards fully private from uninvited guests.&nbsp;Third, and long awaited, is our Legendary Item Reward Track! Each season of the Reward Track is planned to run for three months, and will give rewards based on your play that will help you progress your Legendary Items and a few other goodies as well. After each season, the rewards will refresh and you’ll be able to progress anew. All of your characters on a world will contribute to your reward track progress on that world –that means your main and your alts all help towards earning awesome rewards!&nbsp;Fourth, we’ll also introduce a new area: the Angle of Mitheithel. Stretching south from the Trollshaws to the junction of the Bruinen and Mitheithel rivers is a wild land of rocky hills and deep pine-woods, and a graveyard of ancient kingdoms. The ruins of Elves and Men alike crumble among the trees, and the Rangers steal through the shadows of the trees, ever watchful, carrying out secret assignments as the north grows more dangerous by the day. The Angle of Mitheithel will be for levels 40 to 45.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.lotro.com/sites/default/files/DecProdLtrCLLEN.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a>&nbsp;Finally, Update 32 will see the return of the Spring Festival with new pets and housing rewards!&nbsp;During this time, we’ll also be making progress on our Legendary Worlds of Shadowfax and Treebeard. On January 5th, Treebeard will be making its first jump, entering the fabled Mines of Moria, and Shadowfax will continue progressing, this time to the dangerous lands of Isengard. Two months later, on March 2nd, Shadowfax will be entering the vast plains of Rohan! We’ll have more news on when Anor will be making its way to Minas Morgul in my next letter.&nbsp;Besides all that, we’ll continue with our ongoing work to improve performance and lag, make adjustments to class balance, continue fixing bugs, and further refine the new Legendary Item system. These various things will arrive just about every patch.&nbsp;I’m really excited for you all to see all of the progress we’re making and the updates we’ll be releasing in this quarter, and I’m also excited to hear how folks feel about the new format of these letters. We’re extremely thrilled to celebrate our 15-year anniversary this year, and we’re working on fifteen more!&nbsp;-Raninia</p>
