Mines of Moria Patch 1 release notes show Turbine's humorous side


Now that Lord of the Rings Online's Mines of Moria expansion is out, the bug fixes will commence! Even though the launch was extremely smooth, it's inevitable to find small bugs in the game after any launch. In the most recent Patch 1 for Mines of Moria, these small bugs are addressed and the patch notes have been released.

We have to say, Turbine's sense of humor is quickly becoming legendary on these patch notes and dev diaries. Check after the cut below for just a sample from these patch notes that made us chuckle, and don't forget to review the entire notes on the official forums.



  • The Devoted within the Grand Stair instance was calling for his bodyguard, but they were busy shoving a dwarf into a meat grinder and didn't hear their master over the curse of grudges. Now that the dwarf in question is no more, they will respond to their master's call.

  • The Ornate Chest-piece that begins the Heralds of Corruption arc should now look like it may have once belonged to a normal-sized person, as opposed to a gigantic, sartorially magnificent Volkswagen.

  • There is no longer a mysteriously misplaced Moria-mirror jutting out of the cliffside near the Deep Descent.

  • A dwarf near the fountains in Glân Vraig was forcing his hand through his shield as he spoke to a fellow defender. The dwarf has been told that this is unnerving and will do his best to sit still while in this conversation.

  • The tooltip on the drums in the Grand Stair instance no longer refers to a silly name that we used to call the troll during beta.
