Clear your schedule and get yourself ready for some double experience goodness! J

I was playing lotro last night. There had been some guild drama so it was very quiet.

I had tried to do book 2 volume 10 but that had ended in minstrel death.

I was running around the Lone lands doing some deeds. I came across a level 60 monster? Why is it there? How odd.

I did however make some nice silver farming the monsters. Made about 500 silver from killing gore crows, worgs and orcs. I also reached level 32. I found some missed quests, some of which I can solo now, some I can’t.

I spent some of the skirmish tokens and upgraded my guardian a bit but did not end up playing a skirmish. I should tonight as the bonus xp is going away soon.

Billows/Wildlands: At the end of server maintenance, estimate = 4 a.m. Eastern Time

If your playing champions, thinking of playing champions or thinking of resubbing, there is a new state of the game article for you to read.

I thought it sounds like they are thinking of going the dnd or guild wars ways with the adventure packs here, however do they know that people only buy those in f2p games? CO is currently a subscription based game, so I can’t see why those players would pay for more content like that.

Expansions are one thing, hmm well who knows.

Adventure Packs
Our focus in the near term will be on creating adventure packs that can be experienced by heroes at nearly any level. We want to put out new stories and experiences that as many players as possible can experience and that also provide alternate ways to grow your hero. These are very themed in story and will be set all around the Champions universe and feature villains both new and established.

I suppose I did preorder the lotro mirkwood download for the free goat and the lower level to get a mount.

You can now buy something for the griffin in order to use it as a flying combat mount.

Just one month ago the Griffins took flight through the skies of Pokari. While relegated to just looking pretty and acting as a transport, their true potential is finally here! Hop onto your Griffin and unleash it’s true power with the Jade of Warfare.

The skies will never be the same again as the Jade of Warfare will enable the Glide Griffin to be upgraded. You can upgrade your Griffin by using two Celestone of Speed into a Glide Griffin. You can then upgrade your Glide Griffin into a Warbeast Griffin with a Jade of Warfare. The Warbeast Griffin will be combat available in the air and it will get a bonus of accuracy +20. The Jade of Warfare is a permanent addition to the game.
