Saturday is unofficial meet your LotRO neighbor day
is a little different in Lord of the Rings Online, than in other MMOs. Instead of instancing housing, Turbine instanced entire neighborhoods. A single neighborhood instance holds about 12-15 houses. A mix of standard, deluxe and guild housing is spread across the area along with a few vendors and a community meeting center.
To foster community in these housing clusters, one player has called for an unofficial Meet Your Neighbor day this Saturday, November 3rd at 8:00pm EST. On this day and time, he wants you to visit your neighborhood and chat with your fellow instance cohabitators.
You can ask, as one forum writer suggests, why your Hobbit neighbor has so much fondness for shapeless lawn statues. Or, perhaps how do they keep all that shrubbery alive in the underground Dwarven housing? Or even form an impromptu raiding party to kill spiders. You can never kill enough spiders.
So if you own a house in LotRO, head out Saturday night with some pie or some friendly advice and see who else is sharing your little corner of virtual home ownership.
