Updated Sat, Mar 14, 2009, 4:00 PM·1 min read

Turbine has announced (via Twitter!) that the Volume 2, Book 7: Leaves of Lórien content update for Lord of the Rings Online will go live this Tuesday, March 17, 2009. But you can get your hands on the update files now. Turbine is giving North American, Australian and New Zealand players an opportunity to download the patch files early via direct download or torrent. The downloaded files can even be grabbed from a different computer and then you can transfer those files to your LotRO machine. No early files have been posted for European players yet.

What awaits you in LotRO's first major content patch since the Moria expansion went live in November? Turbine offers a quick list of the major features on Vol 2 Book 7 as well as updated Patch Notes. The LotRO Follower blog offers a list of what changed during Testing by comparing the patch notes when the PTR went live and now.

Massively has its own tour of the new content as the enchanted lands of Lothlórien are opened up to players. And, of course, there are plenty of screenshots below to tide you over until the content goes live in a few days.
