Way back in early July, we wrote up a complete guide to this year's Summer Festival in Lord of the Rings Online, and now players have the chance to experience this festival on the live servers!

This festival comes about 6 weeks later than it did last year, but is packed with much more to do and see. There's Horse races in Bree and The Shire, there's the Inn League initiation, there's dance-offs, fireworks and much more. Just remember to talk to the Town Crier in any major town for more information on the specific events. He's the one with the giant purple flag on the radar map. Also be sure to check out our complete Summer Festival guide and most importantly: have fun!

These festivals are great, and this has been the best one so far. This one has more housing additions than any of the others before. Gardens of all different types and sizes, flower beds of different colors, new welcome mats, 4 new house musics(each with multiple songs), 4 new wall papers(all dye-able), infinite fireworks canons of 6 colors, and i'm sure i'm leaving things out.

Now the bad side. All that new stuff takes up room in an already crowded item game system. Most of the stuff is bound so it can only go in your bank, not your house chests. We're forced to pick and choose what festival items we want to keep... which sucks. I know LOTRO is trying to simplify its items, but it has to be THE WORST MMO I've ever played(and i've played many) when it comes to bag space.
