re: Update 19 now on Bullroarer

0

They have started testing Update 19 on Bullroarer. If you're interested in seeing what's coming or just want to try some things you can't afford on the real servers, you can download the Bullroarer client and check it out.

The Bullroarer server will be up from time to time as they test out the new content and other changes. To access it, you must download and install a separate LOTRO client. You can switch back and forth between the Bullroarer client and the regular client, but an account can be logged on to only one server at a time (either Bullroarer or one of the real servers). You can copy one or more characters to Bullroarer using the transfer feature. What you do on Bullroarer does not affect the real servers, and there's no way to get anything back from it. On Bullroarer you can get lots of gold, TP and MC to spend, as well as other tokens and barter currency. There are ways to instantly level-up new characters.

The Bullroarer forum https://www.lotro.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?787-Bullroarer-(Public-Test-Server) has a lot of information, although it's not always easy to find.

The download links are here: https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?571061-Bullroarer-client-Installer-DOWNLOAD-LINKS Note that if you have installed it before, you should not need to download it all again. If you start the Bullroarer client, it should update to the current beta version just like the normal client does.

Here are some details: https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?646926-Bullroarer-Update-19-Preview-and-Release-Notes 

There is a new Premium housing area (including Kin houses) at the Cape of Belfalas. By "Premium", they mean the house is purchased and upkeep is paid in Mithril Coins (VIPs get free upkeep). These are in addition to the one house per account you currently can have.

There are new areas with new quests.

More things may be added in future betas. They expect to go live in October.

NOTE: They did not wipe the data since Bullroarer was last up for Update 18. If you copied your character then, you won't be able to copy it again. Log on to Bullroarer to see what characters are there before trying to copy your character.

re: New Housing

0

Here are some details on the new Premium Housing

Stately House costs 135-250 MC and has 124 indoor hooks and 18 outdoor hooks

Luxurious House costs 420-500 MC and has 140 indoor hooks and 27 outdoor hooks

Kinship House (only 2 per neighborhood) costs 700-750 MC and has 180 indoor hooks and 36 outdoor hooks (See next post)

The upkeep cost is 15, 20, and 30 MC per week, respectively, but individual houses are free for VIPs.

The houses and views are pretty spectacular, and some locations are likely to be in high demand. If you think you want to get one, it might be worth visiting Bullroarer to check them out so you're ready to buy when Update 19 launches. If you stable to Dol Amroth, there is a housing broker near the stable-master, and an instant travel horse to the neighborhoods.

re: Kinship houses in new area

0

I missed this because they were all bought when I first looked for them.

There are in fact 4 kinship houses per neighborhood. Two of them were as I described:

Kinship House (2 per neighborhood) costs 700-750 MC and has 180 indoor hooks and 36 outdoor hooks

but there are also 2 Kinship houses that are on their own islands! They cost 894 MC. They are spectacular!
