Book 12 is now live on the Roheryn server and the buzz is imminating across the Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) community. This week in the Troll Report we take a look at some of the top threads on the official LOTRO forums. The hot topic for the week is clearly the changes slated for the Book 12 update. With new features on the horizon such as the Barber Shop, Outfit System, the new Ettendeep dungeon, and the various class changes, people are starting and contributing to threads about each.

Developer Diary Feedback: The Outfit System and Barbershops
Book 12 went live on the Rohery Preview Server this week and the public got their first look at the Barber Shop and Outfit systems. These new systems will allow for a wider range of character customization and the official forums have been buzzing with questions. The Dev's have been dropping into this thread periodically to answer questions about the new systems. Ten Ton Hammer even created a new walkthrough video of the Barber Shop System.

This is a good thread to get some information on the Ettendeep dungeon going live with Book 12. There are some good questions asked in this thread and some interesting answers. I am kind of interested in seeing how this dungeon will play out when things change hands while a group is hunting inside.
Heeerrrrre She Issss MiiiiIIIIISSss Thorin's Gate!
This thread was started by Gaelivor and entails a comical and perhaps the most disturbing thing I have ever seen. I give this thread a plus for adding a laughable bit of humor to the official forums and while disturbing, still a very funny thread.
