Lord of the Rings Online
Emotes: They're not just for Elves, Hobbits, Dwarves, and Men any longer. Naaay, Turbine is preparing to give emote love in Lord of the Rings Online to player mounts as well. Players' horses and goats will soon be able to rear up, kick, and bow with the best of them.

While the emotes are not yet available in the game, CM Sapience announced on the forums that players have a chance to win one for free through the LotRO lottos:
All weekend long we'll be running lotteries for the brand new, unreleased, Mounted Rear Up emote. That's right, Mount Emotes are coming to the LotRO Store! Enter the lotteries this weekend and you could win it for free, before your friends can buy it. You'll have a few weeks to show it off and brag before it hits the LotRO Store.

Check back often as new lotteries will be starting randomly throughout the weekend and on Halloween!
The LotRO lottery system is available on the my.lotro website.

Lord of the Rings Online is adding to their presence in the social networking scene. Now you can let your Facebook friends know about the achievements of your Lord of the Rings Online characters via the new Player Feed.

The Player Feed is a Facebook application installed in the usual way. It uses your my.lotro account information to keep track of your characters as you choose, giving you a series of checkboxes to control which servers, characters, and achievements you want to display. It lets your friends know when you log on and log off -- everything after that is up to you. (To prevent the Player Feed from spamming Facebook every time you switch characters, it will wait for a short period of time after you log out to send that notification.)

Check out the post on the LotRO site for all the details.

Lord of the Rings Online fans have one thing on their mind today: Siege of Mirkwood. The expansion launches tomorrow, and players are spending today waiting, speculating, and wishing tomorrow would arrive a bit sooner. Turbine has made the wait easier by releasing patch notes for you to read over while you wait.

All things Mirkwood are covered in the patch notes, from the highly anticipated skirmish system down to the fact that festival gift boxes will no longer contain coal or taters. The full patch notes are very extensive, and while they cover several things we've already heard about, there is a wealth of new information to be had.

The notes include a long list of bug fixes, highlights, and items "of special note", before moving down to the full release notes. There you will find all the information to guide you through the changes that Mirkwood brings: classes, instances, auctions, and quests. The little things like hobbies and emotes that help to make the game what it is are also covered.

The full patch notes can be found here, and we'll see you in Siege of Mirkwood tomorrow to check them out firsthand!

Turbine began the Lord of the Rings Online player lottery just over a month ago on my.LOTRO, and player response so far seems to have been very positive. After all, who doesn't like freebies? Turbine has used my.LOTRO's first month to gather player feedback, and now they are implementing some changes to streamline and improve the lottery system.

The first change is sure to be welcome for those who don't want to miss any opportunities: a regular lottery schedule. Gone are the sporadic start and stop times -- my.LOTRO now has a schedule that includes three lotteries for all levels, plus a welcome wagon lottery three times a week especially for level 1-15 characters.

The items you can win from the lottery remain a secret. They're random, but guaranteed to be useful to the specific character that you entered. However, lottery loot has undergone a little upgrade -- the site promises even better prizes from here on out.

The new changes are in effect now at my.LOTRO.com.
