    The reason to run alts through the Yule festival is that it's giving out XP for all the quests.  I leveled upt 3 alts from the prologue to levels 10, 17 and 18 just doing the festival quests, along with my 12 other characters, 3 of which are at level cap now.

    Actually Kazren thats a great point.  Similar to how the crafting now works you can level a toon, even a free to play one, through the festivals and the crafting system.  Good Call!

    Hey Alberos!  Knowing you love all things LOTR related like I do, I wanted to point out a really neat music video from Billy Boyd that just came out. Some great imagery and of course shows off the voice that set the cherry tomatoes to bursting by Denethor. 
    Cheers,
