The third patch to LotRO's Mines of Moria is being prepared for release tomorrow, but there's not too much to get excited about on the short patch notes. One of the bugs that will be fixed is pretty extreme though -- see if you can pick which one!

Release Notes

Captain
The following issues have been resolved when Master of War is traited.
  • Escort NPCs will no longer attack you when using "Noble Mark".
  • Noble Mark will no longer generate 40 times the intended threat. Yes, I said 40 TIMES.

Volume 2, Book 3 Chapter 9
Thili should now be responsive to all players and advance after defeating the Orcs at the Bridge of Khazad-Dum. You can now get out.

Misc
The odd triangles on male elves wearing Lorien armor have been addressed.

A few Captains seem to be unhappy about the change to Master of War and its relation to Noble Mark, questioning its viability post-patch, but others are wisely waiting to see how it will actually apply; there's still a lot of room for it to be good without generating 40 times as much threat as intended. We'll find out when the patch goes live, at 6AM Eastern on Thursday, January 22nd.

It's been a while in development, as the devs ironed out bugs and tweaked the system to get it just right, but the much-anticipated 'Patch 3' goes live this morning. The main feature it brings to Age of Conan is the PvP consequence system. No longer will players be able to gank other players without fear of reprisal. Accumulated 'murder points' will result in the dishonorable becoming outcasts from society, forced to rely upon a scattered few 'shady camps' for their supplies and rez points, attacked by guards on sight.

This means that being an unscrupulous PvPer will result in a whole new way to play the game, rather than just an arbitrary penalty. It looks a whole lot better than the original mooted plans for AoC, which involved jails and repetitive tasks that other players could watch you being forced to do.
