Are you there LOTRO Devs?
It's me...
Do you play
LOTRO? Maybe us real-life humanoids aren't the only ones with suggestions,
complaints, ideas, hopes, prayers, demands and inquiries for the LOTRO
Devs. Read on...even Gandalf has his issues!
|
Are you there, LOTRO Devs?
It’s me, Elrond. |
|
I’m petitioning
to change the name of my house. There’s nothing homely or
plain about it. Can’t we change it from "Homely House" to Ornate
House or maybe Elrond’s Pimped Out Palace?
I mean, if we
called it a “pimped out palace,” it would really bridge the
generation gap and speak to the clueless noobs out there that aren’t
part of the first, second or third age. |

Are you there LOTRO Devs? It’s
me, Strider. |

I think with my
popularity, I should renegotiate my contract. I deserve some
artistic license and creative input. In the next chapter quest I’m
in, how about we add in a few hot Elven chicks, a cute little Hobbit
chick and a hot spring?
Now, hear me
out. This could be even hotter than that whole scandal relating to
the brigand chick death sounds of old. In fact, why don’t we add the
brigand women to the quest as my alleged captors and let them have
their sounds back…just for the quest…and just whenever my blade is
near?
Of course, that
might be a bad idea. If they’re my captors, I have no reason or
desire to escape. Think about it though. The women and the sounds…it
will really help my immersion. |

Thanks for not
making me extinct! I love that almost everywhere I go, I can find
other boar-kind. <3
I have just two
requests for you. One, I’d like to see Middle Earth more
boar-friendly. (Too many of us are often killed time and time
again.) And two, it would be great if you could legalize boar
migrations to Evendim. Some of us are a little upset that Evendim
discriminates against our kind. In fact, we're thinking about filing
a class action discrimination lawsuit unless this change is made. |

I was
thinking…Putrid Slime doesn’t really seem PC/politically correct.
How about Health-Challenged Fluidic Substance Matter? Or
maybe Nearly-Almost-Fresh Glandular Output?
I think it
might encourage more people to take that off my hands if only the
name had a better connotation to it than Putrid Slime. |
|
Are you there, LOTRO Devs?
It’s me, Gandalf. |
|
I was wondering
if you could mail me more pipeweed. I'm nowhere near an auction
house and the farmers have cut me off.
It’s 2pm and it
feels like I’ve been without for nearly a fortnight. My last smoke
was at 1:55pm. |
|
Are you there LOTRO Devs? It’s
me, "Daffodil."** |
|
Thanks for the
pies. No, really. Thanks. Thanks a lot! I’m now over 500 pounds
after weeks of feeling I must eat a perfect pie every 5 to 10
minutes. And since I take a horse everywhere I go, I can’t seem to
take the weight off.
Would you be
willing to consider implementing liposuction or stomach stapling in
a future patch? I know it doesn’t fit with lore, but um…I’m
desperate to lose this weight! If not, please consider low-fat,
low-calorie sweets options. |
|
Are you there LOTRO Devs? It’s
me, Dire Warg. |
|
First, I just
want to say how much I love it in the North Downs! Plenty of other
wargs around to fellow with, and since we all have lifetime subs, I
know I’ll never be lonely there. (Oh, and let me give a
shout-out/howl-out to all my buddies in the homelands now. *fullmoon
howl*)
I was just
wondering though if you have given any thought to allowing us to dye
our fur. I see humanoids with dyed armor all the time, so it only
seems fair to give us the option with our fur. Just think how much
more ruthless and dire I’d look if my fur could be blood-red.
Oh, and maybe
you could consider the addition of warg-groomers. In summer, it
would be nice if I could shorten my fur “coat.” |
|
Are you there, LOTRO Devs?
It’s me, Frodo. |
|
Can you choose
someone else to bear the ring? I think I’m a little old to roleplay
the role of the ring bearer. Can’t you just make me an usher or
something? You know, someone that’s on the sidelines, out of the
limelight?
P.S. I'll trade the ring back for a beryl
shard. I really need one of those way more than a ring and there's
no way I'm spawn camping for it! Legolas keeps stealing the rare
spawn from me. =( |
|
Are you there, LOTRO Devs?
It’s me, Gandalf. (Again.) |
| I still haven't received that pipeweed I asked for 10 minutes
ago. Are you working on that, or am I going to have to file a
grievance on the forums? I don't mean to whine, but I'm Gandalf!
How can you ignore me like this?! I'm uber! I'm powerful! I'm a
star! You're supposed to cater to my every whim and demand! How do
you expect me to honor my contract with you if you won't send me
pipeweed on demand?!
Please hurry or I'll think about really messing things up for
you. I might even join Sauron's army. (I hear they have a great
benefit package.) |

Are you there LOTRO Devs? It’s
me, Sturdy Long-Tusk. |

Plz help!
There’s abuse in the Lone Lands. /report: body snatchers. I
tried to report this to in-game support, but they only laughed at me
and said there was nothing they could do.
Humanoids have
been knocking me and my buddies out and stealing our stomachs and
haunches while we’re unconscious! This has happened more times than
I care to remember. This behavior is harassing, demeaning,
exploitive and completely uncalled for!
What’s next?
Our livers and spleens?! Plz fix this or we’ll steal theirs!! |
|
Are you there LOTRO Devs? It’s me,
Anonymous Gold Seller aka Scum of the
Middle Earth. |
|
I am the white
rabbit. I am the jackal. I am your Eleanor. You think you
have me but then you don’t. I am more resilient than elastic and
longer lasting than your sanity.
I have the
power to rebuild myself. I have the power to create more accounts. I
have the power to spam! Mwuhahaha! I can replicate faster than a
copy machine. Catch me if you can. I’ll just get another noob
account! =p |
|
Are you there LOTRO Devs? It’s
me,
Outcast Forest-Hunter (wolf). |
| Can you maybe update the Old Forest so it's less confusing to
wander through? It's my home, but every time I die, I have to find
my way back to my piece of turf. I get so confused that I end up
running in circles, chasing my own tail sometimes. Then, I find I'm
surrounded by bears or spiders, and I know I'm in the wrong place.
Can I get some sort of homing beacon or maybe an escort quest to
help me get back to my spot sooner? My pack worries about my safety,
you know.
If you can't do either of those things, maybe you could consider
relocating me through the Middle Earth Witness Protection Program? I
have witnessed some pretty horrible and gruesome murders in the
forest. Therefore, my life is always at risk there but I can't
afford to move anywhere else. |

Are you there LOTRO Devs? It’s
me, Sara Oakheart. |
|
You’re right.
They are completely annoyed at me for the binds I get myself in, but
I love it! There’s no such thing as bad publicity and I never have a
lonely night anymore! Thanks, team LOTRO! You’re the best! <3 |
|
Are you there, LOTRO Devs?
It's me, "Brigitte."** |
| Hi, I'm a Brigand female and I've been missing those old death
sounds I used to make. Guys used to come around all the time just to
hear my passionate cries, but now I'm almost as lonely and depraved
as Gollum. Hardly anyone wants to fight me with these nerfed death
sounds. Nerf my weapon or my armor if you must, but please, un-nerf
my voice! The orcs and goblins are starting to look good to me now,
and I know I deserve better than that! I don't want to be lonely
anymore!
If you un-nerf me, I promise to save all the best loot for you. |
|
Are you there, LOTRO Devs?
It’s me, Gandalf. (Yep, me...again!) |
| Pipeweed. Now! I know you've been holding out on me. I don't
want the garden or field variety stuff anymore. Since you've made me
wait, I want the best of the best. If I don't get it today,
Frodo's done for. So is Strider, Elrond, Galadriel, Pippin, Merry,
Boromir, Samwise, Bilbo, Arwen, Gimli, Farmer Maggot, all the nosey
hobbits.........and a long list of others, including every single
one of your alts!
I might be willing to let Legolas live, but only because he's a
hunter and I use him as my travel agent on occasion. You have until
the end of the day to make your decision. There will be no
negotiations.
All my worst to you and
yours. =p
