LotRO and Lua: Turbine gives the mod community a thumbs-up

And fun?

Mods are evil. Mods are made for people that play World of warcraft. Mods make things simple(R) and should be avoided. Mods create gold seller and bots.
Mods make.............my god!! They make gaming more enjoyable!!



Nevermind, i hate mods. Never used them, never will.

Thanks for info Meghan!

That's awesome news Meghan, we could have done with this news during the drought! While the LOTRO team have done a solid job in the past, giving the community the tools to take this further allows so much more to be put behind design, I'd love a bag search function myself as things get so lost!

I'm still getting over the F2P transition, but news like this really helps me see that the game is expanding, not just converting over to a cash store.

Thanks for stopping by at Massively, do you have any little gifts for us, maybe a few beta keys for the next update in the fall :) ? I guess if you don't ask, you don't get, right?

The easiest way is to disable the "show locked items" button at the vendor. Then of course lock the items you want to keep.

After doing that a few times to make sure you've locked most of your goodies, it takes seconds to sell junk.

Utter rubbish!

Going to untrustworthy web sites to get your addons is an easy way to be hacked.

Using installers where you cannot trust their origins is an easy way to be hacked.

Not taking the proper precautions when downloading addons (like accepting self-extracting executable archives) is an easy way to be hacked.

If the API does not expose login, user account or password information (which lets face it ... it would be insane if it did) you CANNOT be hacked.

I will assume enough folks that think before clicking read the vanilla statement by Daemonland. Why it was voted down by many, many folks is a bit unsettling if not curious.

The statement is true if you download anything from the "net", anyone stating "utter rubbish" is full of themselves. Even with people that know what they are doing including trusted sites (zam anyone?) can be hacked. A wildly popular file, a lapse in security for whatever reason and even the the most careful folks will get snagged, especially if they are tripping thousands of hits a second before whatever it is gets caught, how do you think they make the updates for those great virus and antimalware programs?

I am quite sure the LOTR staff will disect whatever crosses the tables before it gets released, but, there is always that "chance" another programmer is smarter than the average MMO dev......

Dont vote something down because you dont think before clicking and certainly dont post following that voted down blog with an exclamation, because then...you look suspicious. *looks at lichbane*

So true. After healing in games like WoW and WAR with their mods, and from SWG with its crazy macro system, I always felt very hindered in LotRO. This is fantastic!
