Update to Book 11 tips
officials have clarified their Housing abandonment policy. Earlier today we reported that abandoning a house will leave it unavailable for purchase for 24 hours. Community Manager Patience clarified that players are the ones with the 24 hour lock out on purchasing. How long it takes for Housing to become available after abandonment is now unclear, but may be as little as 12 hours.
Patience also clarified that new Housing instances spawn in sets of 3-5 and the practice of buying and abandoning houses will not get them to spawn any faster.
We also found another great resource for patch goodness, LotRO Vault's Patch Tree. They are posting screenshots of new items, NPCs, places, etc introduced in today's Book 11 update, including the image above of the new birch trees players can buy to decorate their new Hobbit homesteads.
Also, keep an eye on the Known Issues for Book 11 thread over on the official LotRO forums. Some early bugs have already been identified.
