    Every week, just at the start of the weekend, we catch up with the WoW Insider staff and ask them, "What are you playing this week?" -- otherwise known as WRUP. Join us to see what we're up to in and out of game, and catch us in the comments to let us know what you're playing, too! Dear Mr. O'Halloran, I accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in Blogsmith for whatever it was that I did wrong ... And what I did -- volunteer to write WRUP -- was wrong. But I think you're crazy to make me write this post telling you who I think I am, or detail how far everyone has progressed into the Firelands. What do you care? You see us as you want to see us ... in the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. You see us as a boomkin, a paladin, a shadow priest, a healer, and a McCurley. Correct? That's the way we saw each other at seven o'clock this morning. We were brainwashed.

    With summer almost upon us, the fair free folk of Middle-earth are gearing up for the largest player-organized in-game event of the year: Weatherstock 2011! Lord of the Rings Online adventurers from around the world will flock to the summit of Weathertop in the Lone-lands on the Landroval server to hear nine excellent outfits perform in an epic Battle of the Bands. A Casual Stroll to Mordor has all of the essential details for this event, which runs from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. EDT on Saturday, June 18th. Among those contributing to the concert are The Green Hill Music Society, The Breakfast Club, and The Blackheart Pirates. Each band will perform a trio of songs (plus a possible encore) in an effort to take home one of three awards. Weatherstock is made possible by LotRO's unique music system, which allows players to compose and perform songs with a variety of instruments. This is always a fun event, and the LotRO Lorebook has additional information for those attending (hint: turn off names!). Mark this on your calendar so that you don't miss the excellent tunes!
