Turbine's games are all down for maintenance today, with Lord of the Rings Online getting the full treatment during its downtime. The first post Mines of Moria patch to drop onto the live service hits today, with an impressively lengthy list of changes. We discussed these patch notes initially last week when the official notes showed up on the boards, both because of their length and the humor shown in their writing. Most interesting to this blogger are the improvements to Guardian threat, making them competitive in the new world of Wardens and their shouty-taunts.

Today all those new tweaks are actually going live, with the game servers slated to come back online at 2pm EST. That's no time at all to wait, and working through the patch notes might take you just about that long. So, go check em' out or read back through our Know Your LotRO Lore columns to pass the time. See you in game!

I'm looking forward to some of these fixes. I've had a couple of other issues that weren't addressed in the notes, so it'll be interesting to see if those are taken care of as well... granted, they're pretty minor problems.

PS - It's been pushed back to 2 EST, but I think people will live through that haha

The broken pieces of the Bridge of Khazad-dûm were backwards, with the longer piece on the west side of the chasm and the shorter one on the east. They have now been reversed. This could cause people who logged out while standing on the broken bridge to log on in midair and plummet to their dooms. This should teach them not to log out on precarious bridges!
