Featured Player Our most recent featured Player is Theresa aka Lunna the Burg. When she is not busy trying to pilfer your coins or steal your pies she creates awesome LOTRO-themed videos and comics. You can visit my.lotro.com to read our interview with her! (http://my.lotro.com/turbinecommunity/2010/01/08/featured-player-lunna/)
Featured Video This week’s video, “Goodbye LOTRO. Roads Go Ever On,” was created as a goodbye by Shuyinn, who has thankfully returned! This tribute to LOTRO is based on poetry by the talented Mr. Bilbo Baggins, and Shuyinn evokes strong feelings of nostalgia by tying Bilbo’s words to LOTRO’s stunning scenery. We’re glad to have such a talented filmmaker back among the community! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjAu9IzfxQA)
