Today the highly anticipated Book 8 Expansion for Lord of the Rings Online went live on all servers. Readers may remember that just a few weeks ago, Turbine invited us on an in-game playtest of their latest content, and now players can enjoy all of that and more today. In particular, this update will bring the foreboding 12 person raid, Dar Nabagud, as well as the 6 person instance, Halls of Crafting. Finally, this free content update also brings two three person instances, The Mirror Halls of Lumul-nar and the Great Water Works of Nala-Dum - The Water Wheels.

Also coming with this expansion is the new Summer Festival, the upgrade to the crafting system (and more crafting options). Finally, with this update also came with tons of tweaks and updates to all of the classes, as well as a re-tuning of some low level content in the 15-25 range. If anyone was interested in checking out Lord of the Rings Online, today would be a great time to do it! You can try out a free 10-day trial by going here, or you can read the full patch notes over here.

Volume II, Book 8: Scourge of Khazad-dûm launched on July 23 and a hotfix has been implemented to fix some issues, including lag across all worlds. Also, a bug was causing the the gates to the first boss in the Halls of Crafting to close after half an hour, which was preventing the instance from being completed. The gates should now remain open, so you should now be able to finish the Halls of Crafting.

There's also a running list being kept on the official forums outlining the current known issues in Book 8, including a bunch of bugs with repeatable quests. You can read the full list of known issues below.
