LotRO celebrates the Middle-Earth Harvest Festival

Aside from book 11, Codemasters and Turbine Inc. are looking to give the denizens of The Lord of Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar MMORPG something to look forward to very soon. The company is announcing that starting this October 26, LotRO‘s players can take part in the Middle-Earth Harvest Festival, which will offer up quests, vendors and events for this special time of the year.

The Harvest Festival will run until November 12, and will host several special contests, including:

• Horse Racing: Players can compete against each other in a horse race. Winners will receive a horse race token that can be used to purchase the Harvest Festival Horse.
• Games of Chance: The Harvest Festival will host four games of chance. Players can bob for apples in the Shire or try geode picking with the Dwarves to earn Harvest Festival tokens that can be used to buy special festival items.
• Harvesting the Crop: This new collection of quests enables players to harvest the crops they planted during the Summer Solstice Festival in June and earn a special item for their house.
• Dancing: There will be dancing quests with new race-specific dance emotes as a reward.

LotRO‘s Executive Producer Jeffry Steefel had this to say about the upcoming festivities:

The Harvest Festival is the second of many seasonal events that we have planned for The Lord of the Rings Online. These festivals coupled with content updates demonstrate our commitment to delivering the best online experience for our subscribers through a fun, compelling and evolving game.

Eat, drink, and be merry, folks – given this festival comes in a few days after book 11’s release, there’s definitely much to be happy about.
