Episode 49 - The First Mythgardian and Contest Time!

Hi all

Welcome to Episode 49 - The First Mythgardian and Contest Time!

First I want to apologize.  The audio in the last segment has some feedback.  I re-recorded the segment but continued to have the feedback issue.  I will try to get it fixed before the next episode.

Contest News!
The good people at Turbine (Thanks Sapience!) have given LOTROCast two Legendary Pre-Order Codes for Rise of Isengard.  These come with all the pre-order items, Isengard, and the quest packs ($49.99 value). We are running two contests to win one of these prizes.

Contest #1:  Twitter 
From September 8-20 people with Twitter accounts can qualify for a chance to win one of these Pre-Order codes by Tweeting:

"Isengard Rises on Sept 27th. Re-tweet for a chance to win a Legendary Pre-Order Code. Must follow @lotrocast . Contest ends Sept 20.  #lotro"

The winner will be selected at random.

Contest #2:  Going Sight Seeing
In this contest players must take an in-game photo of a famous land mark in LOTRO.  Pictures and a description of why the landmark was picked can be sent to thelotrocast@gmail.com.  A winner will be selected based on photo quality, landmark selected, and reason why it was selected.  Submissions should be sent no later than Sept 20.
