News Update 12.15.2014

[Dagranhad]

Greetings to all! There is some news to report about our kinship and game. So, here are the latest "headlines*"...

Update 15.1 is now Live

The long awaited first patch to update 15 was published this morning. It includes a variety of fixes and updates to the game... as well as the arrival of the 6-man version of Pelargir.

You can find out more about 15.1 by reading the patch notes (linked here).

Deeping Wall (Raid) Kinship Runs

Beginning *this* Friday (December 19) @ 9:30 PM (Eastern), our kinship will begin hosting runs of the 12-man Deeping Wall. There have been people asking to run it. So, we will run it and teach you the raid version of the Deeping Wall.

You can read more of the details on our forums. We look forward to a great time!

(Keep in mind that you do *not* need to be level 100 for this as long as you meet the other requirements. Also, our first outing will probably be more of a "practice run" than anything else. So, don't worry about needing to perform perfectly!)

**We do ask that those attending this raid take the time to download/install/update Teamspeak.**

Cartographer Deed

In case you have missed out on it... we have been scheduling some dates/times to allow those interested to complete the Cartographer Deed. It is a deed you complete for "obtaining" all of the maps of Middle-Earth (you just need to have the maps in your inventory for it to count).

If you have not been able to be around for any of our map-passing sessions and would like to have a chance to complete the deed on one or more characters, please let us know and we will arrange a time to help you. It is an easy way to rack up some Turbine Points!

And then there's The Hobbit Movie!

Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably know that the 3rd installment of The Hobbit comes out this week (at least in the USA). Don't forget to go see it and tell us what you thought of it!
