Jesters of Middle Earth

 Thanks Row, I'm going to have the mission impossible theme tune buzzing around my head all day now!

 Anyway... Good morning everyone. Hope you're all doing swimmingly today. I think it's going to be a good day; I've got my office to myself, not all that much work to do, and a free lunch on the company later. Can't be bad! Might try and be uber-productive this morning, get all the work I need to get done done and then spend the afternoon writing stuff for my website... Tempting...

Easy answer to both: become an MP and put it on your expenses.

But yeah they might pay my deposit

Preview/Test Server patch notes for Book 8

*does the happy RK's got nerfed dance*

And they've *FINALLY* added in the capability to buy <x> number of an item!

They have, however, converted the BA fire-dot into a curable wound! I guess it was coming, sooner or later!

Nice that Guardians no longer have to face a target to use Turn The Tables, though! Oh, and lots of item-stacks have had the maximums greatly increased!

Lothlorien Gift Box Changes:

• There is no longer a chance to receive First-age items.
• There is no longer a chance to receive Tier 4 Runics.
• The Heritage Runes have significantly increased in value.
  • The lowest value is now 75k.
  • The highest value is now 250k.
• There is now a chance to receive Level 58 and Level 59 Second-age items (you can still get Level 60 Second-age items as well).
• The odds have been tweaked, the most significant of which is that there's now a slightly higher chance of receiving a Second-age item, but a lower chance of that Second-age being Level 60 (due to the inclusion of Level 58 and 59 Second-age items).
• The costs of the gift boxes have been significantly reduced: they now cost 15G 30S.
• The descriptions of the gift boxes have been changed to more accurately reflect the potential rewards.
• The gift boxes are no longer class restricted for those who mistakenly purchased the wrong box.
• Please note that there will be no compensation for those who have already purchased a gift box: when you opened that gift box you had a chance to get a Level 60 First-age item.

Explanation of Changes: The gift boxes have been changed from a high-risk / high-reward design to a more friendly middle-ground design. The high-end rewards have either been removed (First-age) or had their chances reduced (Level 60 Second-age), while the low-end rewards have either been removed (15k Heritage Rune, Tier 4 Runics) or increased (250k Heritage Runes are now available). Because the high-end rewards have been removed/reduced, the cost of the giftboxes has been reduced as well.

A lot of changes in book 8 patch, thought this may be of interest. No more 1st agers but under half the cost in gold leaf for the box.

I approve of Book 8

... now all they need to do is give me back pre-nerf Swift Bow and make Heartseeker usefull for anything other than overkill 1-shotting rabbits.

 I could get used to not getting into the office until 11.30am on a Friday... First aid training courses are great!

 How's everyone doing?
