LotRO reminder: go get your keg!
A brief reminder, dear readers, that Lord of the Rings Online has been updated to Book 12 Patch 1, and that means that "Bullroarer's Challenge - Advanced" is back in the game. Remember to finish the quest for your Inn League Keg before the end of the Spring Festival, so that you too can enjoy being plastered beyond the state of consciousness, and find yourself in an exciting new location upon awakening. If you need to catch up on the pre-requisites for the advanced challenge, our Spring Festival guide has you covered. The only step not featured is the one that has just been re-added, and it's simply a more strictly timed version of the drunken fence hopping you will have already completed to get that far. Good luck!
LotRO Book 12 Patch 1 pushed back a day
An update has been made to the original message detailing the patch downtime at the website. Those waiting anxiously to get their keg will need to wait just one extra day, as the Lord of the Rings Online scheduled downtime has been pushed back to Thursday, March 13th. The time of day will remain the same, from 6AM to 12PM Eastern.There will, however, be some downtime occuring on Wednesday as well -- but only for the Lorebook. This handy resource will be unavailable for a mere 2 hours on March 12th, from 10AM to 12PM, and the reason behind this is to make some updates related to the recent introduction of Book 12.
Scheduled LotRO downtime to bring Book 12 Patch 1
We got a sneak peek at Book 12 Patch 1 the other day when Roheryn was updated, and now the patch is ready to go out to Lord of the Rings Online's live servers. Downtime has been scheduled for March 12th, from 6:00AM to 12PM Eastern, in order to bring the new build into effect. Roheryn will remain available to play on during this downtime.Down the bottom of the list of changes, you'll notice that the "Bullroarer's Challenge - Advanced" quest is being reintroduced. This means that you'll be able to get the sweet drunken keg again after the patch is live. The rest of the notes for Book 12 Patch 1 are available after the break.
Massively visits the LotRO Spring Festival
Spring has sprung in Lord of the Rings Online, and the Spring Festival is well underway. We've gone and taken a look at everything that is on offer, taking lots of pictures along the way, and we're happy to report back now with our findings. Although it is unfortunate that the teleporting keg is unavailable for the moment, there's still plenty to do!

LotRO Spring Festival extended, drunken keg quest temporarily disabled
Earlier when we reported on the commencement of Lord of the Rings Online's Spring Festival, we brought attention to the Inn League Keg. You know, the one that has the potential to get you so wasted that you pass out and wake up in a different area of Middle-earth? Well, a note on the forums has announced that the quest that gives the Keg as a reward has been temporarily disabled, so it cannot be obtained for now.Before you get too upset, note the "temporarily" in the above -- the message states that the Keg will be made available again in an upcoming patch. As a way of saying sorry, the Spring Festival has been extended by one week, so it's not all bad. Check out our previous Keg post to see a video of the drunken antics.
