The Heart of Mirkwood -
A Siege of Mirkwood Q&A with Jeffrey Steefel
At Ten Ton Hammer, our viewers vote with what they read, and one of the hottest topics this month is LotRO's December expansion, Siege of Mirkwood. We've been spending a lot of time with LotRO Executive Producer, Jeffrey Steefel lately, trying to uncover all there is to know about this important epilogue to Volume 2. Mr. Steefel has revealed, we dare say, just about as much as there is to be known about the expansion at this point.
We bring those conversations to our readers in a huge all-encompassing Lord of the Rings Online: Siege of Mirkwood Q&A.
From the article:
“The [Skirmish] tracking system... is pretty in depth – it’s tracking pretty much everything that you do. How many kills you have, how many of the particular instances you’ve defeated, how many lieutenants you’ve defeated or even what party size you were in and what the difficulty level was. They system puts all of that together in a huge leaderboard that lets you see how your stats compare to other people who have tried a particular instance at a particular level, or how do your personal stats add up in terms of the number of overall kills you’ve had.”
Covered here are more details about the Skirmish System, General Improvements, and the inside scoop on new Legendary Items and their Upgrade Scrolls, Adventure Packs, Subscription Models, and so much more.

PLEASE REPLY: Your Favorite MMOG Memories
Hey, premium members! Here's your chance to get your name in lights (outside of a VIP Access interview question).
Since many MMOGs, from EverQuest to Asheron's Call to World of
Warcraft, are celebrating anniversaries this season, we've decided to

your favorite moment (or two) in MMOG time, and we'll publish the best
stories in an upcoming premium feature.
Got screenshots? We'll take those, too! Just attach them here. And
