Just a reminder to everyone that we released BOTH episode 13 and 14 today. I've noticed about half as many people have downloaded Episode 13 than 14, which is a shame because Episode 13 is the one with the real show. Episode 14 is just a mini-cast with info about Siege of Mirkwood. So don't forget! Head over to Zune, iTunes, or whatever and check out both episodes!
That is all.

Episode 14 – Siege of Mirkwood Update
Hey there! So…imagine my surprise when I check the LOTRO website real quick on my way out the door Tuesday morning after we had recorded a solid show the night before only to find that Turbine had opened up some of the news floodgates (perfectly timed for non-inclusion in Episode 13). Alberos and I decided the best course of action was to make a mini-cast and cover the info that came out. So here you have it: Episode 14, a Siege of Mirkwood Mini-Cast.
You can see Turbine’s official announcements on the release date and pricing plans for Siege of Mirkwood here.
You can check out the three dev diaries we covered by following there links: mounts, shared vault space, and skirmishes.
Enjoy and see you in two weeks!

Episode 13 – The Lone Lands Shownotes
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to LOTROCast: The Lord of the Rings Online Podcast! A quick note before I move into the rest of the shownotes…due to the fact that we recorded episode 13 on Monday, there really was no news to report. Little did we know that the very next day, Turbine would dump a huge amount of information on us. In response, we recorded a short mini-cast to cover the news from Tuesday. That mini-cast is Episode 14, and is also available right now.

Introducing the Galactic Holofeed
Greetings, all!
Moormur here just letting you know that the first episode of the Galactic Holofeed, our podcast covering the Star Wars: The Old Repbulic MMO comming up from Bioware, has been released. You can check it out at www.HOLOFEED.com. If you are interested, it should hold you over until the next LOTROCast episode on this Wednesday. I want to re-iterate that the two podcasts are not meant to replace each other...they just cater to different interests of mine. I am drawn to SW:TOR for the same reasons I was drawn to LOTRO...I love the story behind the game. I have no plans on leaving LOTRO behind, even when SW:TOR comes out.
See you in Middle-Earth!

Episode 012: The Journey
Welcome back to LOTROCast! Boy do we have a BIG show for you today. It was one of the most fun to put together and I hope you enjoy the fruits of our labors.
In this content episode, we discuss the upcoming LOTRO Expansion and examine what it means to 'Journey' through Middle-Earth with guests Ivy and Paperbard.
You can find episode 012 on iTunes, the Zune Marketplace, and you can direct download using the toolbar to the right.
You can see LOTROCast's YouTube channel right over here, and you can check out Bain Ennorath by following this link.
You can find the SPECTACULAR website and blog The Road Goes Ever On by following this link.
You can join in on the discussion on the Bounty System at another excelent LOTRO blog, The LOTRO Chronicles. You can find the specific post here.
You can read about Atari's response to Turbine's lawsuit in this article. I'm not sure how much more we will follow it in the show, to be honest...it seems like it will quickly degenerate into a finger-pointing fight.
Fun.
You can read Banaticus' thoughts on 'craft-a-holics' right here. I certainly wish I had his self control...
There is TONS of information about the upcoming expansion around the internet. Some great starting points are the official (somewhat lame, but I suppose that's what teasers are for) Teaser Site here and the LOTRO Official Forums here. The blogs I have listed to the right also have some pretty in-depth coverage of the expansion and we will cover it in plenty of detail between now and launch.
Finally, as mentioned in the show, if you are interested in helping out with a potential new podcast project in ADDITION TO LOTROCast (not instead of, at least for me) centered on Star Wars: The Old Republic, please contact me at LOTROCast@gmail.com.
