If you’re part of the populace in Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar, you’d have noticed that Book 13: Doom of the Last-king is already available for download. For a quick recap, here are all the new features available in the game.

Book 13 introduces a whole new bunch of features, the biggest of which are the new region of Forochel and the faction of Lossoth. Check out all the new updates here:

New Region - In the far, frozen north of Eriador lies Forochel. This new region lets players see the ocean for the first time and introduces several new temperature based landscape effects.
New Damage Type - Players will need to be mindful of the cold due to a new damage type - frost. Frost will slowly damage their character until they find a source of warmth in the form of shelter or a campfire.
New Faction - Beneath the brooding skies of Forochel dwell the hardy tribes known as the Lossoth. Players can earn favor with the Lossoth by helping them in the struggle against their ancient enemy, the Guaredain. Lossoth reputation rewards include unique armor sets, weapons, a new mount, housing decorations, and class specific items.
New Class - The Orc Defiler is a healer that will round out any War Band in their quest to dominate the Ettenmoors. The Defiler uses new healing skills such as Fertile Slime and Fungal Bloom to aid its party in battle and has a host of new Debuff skills including Curse of the Lethargic Heart to defeat their enemies.
The Hobby System - Fishing is the first hobby being introduced in LOTRO. From the Midgewater Marshes to the Shores of Evendim, players will find fishing to be a relaxing, entertaining and beneficial pastime. Players can earn deeds and traits as they improve their fishing prowess and captured fish can be used to cook in recipes or be mounted as trophies in a player’s house.
New story arcs - At Elrond’s urging, players venture into the frozen wastes of the north to continue Laerdan’s search for the remnants of the ring Narchuil. Aided by the Snowmen of Forochel, players will uncover the fate of an ancestor of Aragorn and strive to thwart the terrible aims of Angmar.
Over 100 New Quests - The story continues for players as they aid the Fellowship and encounter new adventures in Middle-earth.
Book 14: Ring Forge of the Elven Rings will be released this summer, and the adventure will continue into the Mines of Moria. Check back for more updates on Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar!

The rich lore behind Turbine Inc. and Codemasters’ The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar is what keeps a lot of players coming back for more. A recent update on the LotRO lorebook focused on one of the key NPCs in the game: Dwalin.

Dwalin, son of Fundin, is the brother of Balin and was one of Thorin Oakenshield’s companions on the Quest of Erebor. Long after Smaug was slain and the Lonely Mountain reclaimed, King D¨¢in Ironfoot sent him to the Blue Mountains to inquire as to why the Master of Thorin’s Hall had stopped sending tribute to Erebor. With the aid of the Sons of Elrond, he uncovered a plot by the outcast Dourhand clan to raise their evil lord, Skorgr¨ªm.

Dwalin remained at Thorin’s Hall as its new Master, charged with defending the dwarf-realm from assault by both the Dourhands and the goblins who had begun to sneak back into the Blue Mountains. Strange happenings and unfortunate accidents have strained relations between the Dwarves of Thorin’s Hall and the Elves of Duillond, however, and only the diligent efforts of Lord Dwalin have kept the peace.

Dwalin is just one of many characters in The Lord of the Rings Online™: Shadows of Angmar™ that was drawn from the lore created by J.R.R. Tolkien. Players in LOTRO will encounter him many times throughout the game, from the dwarf and elf newbie experiences to high-level Epic Story quests.

Yes, that pic below is the priest’s robe, direct from Arena season 4 (you can click on it to see a bigger version), and here is the priest’s helm from season 4. As the story goes over at World of Raids, a player on EU Arathor accidentally deleted some season 1 items, and a GM then accidentally gave him season 4 items in replacement instead. The items were taken right back (duh), but their IDs were activated on that realm, so anyone with a little item ID knowledge could pull up the stats.

For comparison, these have boosts almost all around from the season 3 items, which is pretty much to be expected. And while the Stamina is clearly much higher than anything we’ve seen at the higher levels, the actual damage doesn’t compare much to even the Tier 6 stuff. PvP gear in season 4 is all about staying alive — we’ve seen a few other items leak out already, and it’s the same deal on those.

Which is probably as it should be. We should note, also, that this stuff may not actually be done — although the fact that it’s spawnable on the live realms might mean that Blizzard is ready for season 4. I still don’t think we’ll see it until after the arena tourney, but who knows?

A guild dispute ended in a real world meet and a brutal beating, the victim dying on the way to the hospital. This is the third MMO-related murder in just under a year that has taken place in Russia. Lineage II seems to be lethal, if your online nemeses are weak of mind with powerful fists in real life.

33-year-old Albert used to spend hours in front of his computer. On the web he had his own clan and a dozen of warriors. Just days before the New Year in a virtual battle his clan killed a member of the hostile Coo-clocks.

Days later the enemies agreed to meet literally face to face in the real world.

Their confrontation led to tragedy. Albert was badly beaten and died from his injuries on the way to hospital.

“I think they have confused the game and reality. And after we buried him on December 31, they continued to threaten us,” Albert’s sister Albina says.

The alleged murderer hasn’t shown regret and hasn’t justified himself. 22-year-old student just calmly explained why he killed his opponent.

The article mentions another beating in Moscow (only available subscribers of the paper, but you can read an old Kotaku article on it) and third incident where a 20-year-old gamer from Petrosavodsk killed his grandmother after she interrupted his game calling him to eat.

Despite this tragedy it’s interesting to see that instead of trying to make online games appear dangerous to the public (which seems popular in mainstream media) the Russian Today internet news paper urges people to avoid jumping to conclusions.

However, internet experts say these cases shouldn’t be lumped together just because some people can’t handle the situation.

“Not many talk about the benefits of internet games for disabled people who don’t have a chance to communicate with others like themselves or able-bodied people. Nobody mentions the benefits the internet can offer in education,” says Aleksandr Kuzmenko of a computer game magazine.

For those of you who wander the Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar, you’ll be familiar with that nigh-impregnable ribbon of earth, the Misty Mountains.

The long string of mountains divide the land in two, making travel difficult. However, as treacherous as travel may be, it is still necessary.

There are few roads that allow you to pass the mountains. You can go south to the tip of the ribbon and go around the mountains, but this path is laden with Orcs.

The second, much safer, yet still dangerous path, is the one through the Redhorn Gate, leading to Rivendell. Although this too has become treacherous. There is a third passage that travelers can go through, and that is the High Pass.

Tolkien fans would be familiar with this place, as it was the refuge where Thorin and the rest of the characters in “The Hobbit” took shelter in. You can visit the place in Lord of the Rings Online, but beware, even this place is not free of darkness.

SHANGHAI — “World of Warcraft” has hit a new high in China, with the massively multiplayer online game registering more than 1 million players online at one time, local distributor The9 said Monday.

The figure marks a 25% increase in peak concurrent users since the last time an official count was revealed — Oct. 4, 2007 — when 800,000 were said to be simultaneously, according to spokeswoman for The9.

At the end of 2007, there were 10.3 million total registered “Warcraft” users, she said.

Shanghai-based The9 also announced Monday that it has expanded its licensing agreement with Irvine, Calif.-based “Warcraft” developer Blizzard Entertainment, to include the “Wrath of the Lich King” expansion pack.

For fiscal year 2007, net revenue from online games and merchandise stood at $161.6 million, an increase of 21% from $134.0 million in 2006. The increase was a result of the continued growth of the “Warcraft” game, The9 said.

In the fourth quarter of 2007, revenue from “Warcraft” alone totaled $11.8 million, the company added.

The9 licenses “Warcraft” from Blizzard, which is not allowed to distribute in China directly.

Yes, loved by some and hated by others, tomorrow is 4/1, April 1st, known around the world (or at least the Internet) as April Fool’s Day, and odds are that you’ll have a lot of fools trying to play with your head. As you probably know, our friends at Blizzard love April Fool’s, so you can probably expect to see some shenanigans from them tomorrow.

Just to get you ready, here’s a quick roundup of what they’ve done in the past few years. It seems like they’ve been upping the ante for a while now, so be “prepared”: you never know what we might hear from them tomorrow.

2004: Blizzard announced that two-headed Ogres would become a playable race… playable by two players, that is. Not many people fell for this one — MMOs are all about being social, but playing a character with another player? A little too wacky to be legit.

Lots more after the break, including the chaos that went down last year (Tinfoil Hats, anyone?) in the Warcraft community.

2005: Pandaren Xpress. This was the real beginning of Blizzard’s silliness — Sony had just recently announced a (real!) deal with Everquest and Pizza Hut, so the announcement by Blizzard that they’d made the same deal with a Chinese food chain sounded legit to many news outlets (including Slashdot), and got quite a bit of coverage for a joke. Blizzard must have smelled blood in the water, because after this, April Fool’s Day was never the same for them.

2006: The first year that others picked up on Blizzard’s jokes and started kicking off their own. The official joke was about Wisps as a playable race — everyone was wondering just who the Alliance race was in the Burning Crusade (later revealed as the Draenei), and a lot of people bought the “Detonate” racial ability, though the “permanent death” feature was really the giveaway here. But the official joke wasn’t the only one: Blizzard as a company gave some official credence to the BurgerCraft rumors, and Caydiem posted those (still brilliant) fake patch notes for the upcoming patch 1.11. And thanks to Gamespot, rumors of a “World of Starcraft” (along with a “leaked screenshot”) also swirled around.

2007: And last year things went even further over the top. Blizzard announced a “new” RTS called Warcraft: Heroes of Azeroth (”WHOA,” for short) “based in the WoW Universe,” which was really the old Warcraft RTSes made to look like a WoW tie-in. The forums went a little nuts with “Blue for a Day,” as every poster but the CMs got to go blue, also resulting in Tseric’s classic “lol wut” remark (and making a few people unhappy). Unofficially, WoWWiki got turned into MeowWiki, Wowhead got sold to Blizzard (providing a weird foreshadowing for later that year), and a number of other Warcraft-related jokes flew around. But the big one was, of course, the Tinfoil Hat — with the release of the Armory earlier in the year, lots of players were concerned that their gear choices were being shown off, so Blizzard released an engineering item that would supposedly keep your character out of the Armory (as well as dropping Intellect by 10 and preventing mind control… or maybe not). And they also poked fun at all of their attunements, with a hopelessly complicated attunement chart.

What’s Blizzard got planned for this year? We haven’t heard yet, and they haven’t said. But whatever it is, if you’re the gullible type, you might want to stay off the Internets tomorrow. Blizzard has a long tradition of pulling our legs right out of their sockets on April 1st. Get those grains of salt (and, please, that sense of humor) ready.

I just read a very interesting article about WoW over at austin360.com. However, the author has never played WoW, even though he really wants to. The reason he hasn’t even bought the game is because he knows if he starts, he’ll be addicted, and that terrifies him.

He goes on to describe friends of his who obviously spend far too much time playing, but also notes that the type of people who play nowadays aren’t your standard spotty geek, but more of a mixture of the real life community.

The comparison to Star Trek is a good one too, as he points out that even people who have never seen an episode of the famous Sci Fi series still know what “Beam Me Up Scotty” means. Will every person in the future cry “Leeroy Jenkins” as they are about to embark on some foolish mission? We shall see..

Probably not. But if you did guess March 25th as the date patch 2.4 was released you might have an email from our own Elizabeth Harper in your inbox in the next few days. So how did you all get to guess March 25th as the magical date?

Some of you might have just pulled the date out of a hat. I can’t really blame you if you did, since Blizzard has been notorious for releasing things “when they’re ready.” WoWWiki even has a page for the often-quoted blue response to people asking when the patch will be released: “soon.”

Of course, if you took my route, you would have hunkered down and done some good old math and figured out that the trend was leading towards a March 25th release date. I was, ahem, right. /dance /cheer /drinkaglassofcelebratorywine

Now of course the real test of any mathematical prediction is to see if it holds up over time. When the next patch is announced (if there is one), we’ll take another mathematical look at the numbers and try to predict when that patch will go live.

All in all, it was quite a fun little contest. Many thanks to the over 900 of you who entered. Check your mailboxes, you might have won!

For those wondering, the image is the “I Win” button they’ll be putting in patch 2.5. We know this is going to happen because of all the nerfs in 2.4… (I’m kidding, but flame away.)
