Screenshot Contest Winners!

Posted in Lotrosteeds.com Updates on April 29, 2011 by calddir

We had so many fantastic screenshots it was very difficult to choose only three winners! I wish to thank each and every person
who entered this contest! With great pleasure, I now present the three screenshots chosen by our three judges!

Large versions of these shots will be included in the up-coming Gallery of Steeds opening on Lotrosteeds.com in the next few days!

Devonna of Landroval riding Tilly, an Inn League Pony, across the waters of Harloeg in the Lone Lands.

Prenthelion of Arkenstone, member of Riders of Rohan, leaves Rivendell with a mixture of emotions. He must follow and aid the Fellowship, but follow and aid them alone. His mount's head is down, in empathy to the rider.

Hoggetshadowmir of Elendilmir, tired after much riding around on his Ashen Horse, needed a drink and they found a nice quiet spot to take a few minutes break.

A great thanks as well to the judges who struggled over all the wonderfull screenshots!

4th Anniversary Steed Introduced!!

Posted in LotRO Events on April 22, 2011 by calddir

In celebration of the 4th Anniversary of Lord of the Rings Online, Turbine has introduced the 4th Anniversary Steed!!!  The Steed is very difficult to get, requires 3 horse race tokens (from the Breeland and Michel Delving races), and 30 Anniversary tokens.  The Anniversary tokens are obtainable by either running the races, clubbing in Thorin’s Hall, or winning the token lottery at lotro.com.  The steed is a very beautiful mount, and worth the effort!

The Anniversary Celebration runs now until May 2nd 2011!  Good luck and ride safe all!  Happy 4th Anniversary!!!!!
