6th Inventory Bag Finally Makes it into LOTRO Store

For those of you (like me) expecting this bag to be in today’s update, it was and it wasn’t. It made it into a later on delivered Store Update as confirmed by Celestrata. Sure enough, I did check and it was available for me to purchase at the expected 995 Turbine Points.

Now the real question – do you really still want it or have you gotten by long enough without it that you’ll use your points on something else?

I bought it. I find it amusing that it suddenly works, apparently without a fix by Turbine, once the Determine your Discount sale is over.

  It does seem curious, especially since it was fixed so quickly after Sapience talked about why it hadn’t been fixed yet. But maybe its just a coincidence.

I am waiting on a 50% off sale before purchasing Rohan – last year they did one for Isengard on Black Friday. Will probably use the included 1000 TP for the bag. I’m not a fan of Turbine’s increased focus on larger, more expensive bundles, but I can only buy the products they offer under the terms they offer.

  A sale would not surprise me at all as I don’t think Rohan has done as well as Isengard did. Granted, the only thing I have to back that up is Turbine’s silence on any numbers for Rohan.

    The first thing I noticed when I started playing again was the low number on global compared to the number when RoI launched.
    
    And honestly if I did not have the points to get the expansion I would have passed, still feel I was sold and abysmal product with RoI and the pricing structure of RoR was/is a complete joke, I have absolutely no issue with spending money on games and I probably will buy the next one with real money again as RoR is a lot more entertaining but for now it is back to TSW

      I agree with you, but honestly I do think RoR is actually a more solid and better product then RoI was. Sure the pricing is a bit out of line with others, but I’m actually happy with my use of TP, and if I had known then how much I’m enjoying it I might’ve thought about buying it with real money.
      
      And I’m finding it hard to decide between the Epic Rohan story, TSW’s story and complexity, and of course my Football manager addiction Although I imagine once I finish the main Rohan story I will probably taper off a bit as I’ll mainly only be doing dailies and war-bands.

I’ll wait for a sale on the 6th bag. I’ve been playing for 4 years with 5 bags and everything was fine. Its kind of like having more closets in your home gives you more opportunities to fill them.

  I’m still not sure I’m going to buy it even on sale at this point, I’ve gotten so used to 5 and with the overflow storage it really isn’t a problem that forces you back to town.

Doc, you are right about the overflow storage. I have found myself hitting a vendor and then unloading all of my overflow for cash. Its like having many extra bags because it holds 50 items AND they stack. Also, I really would like to buy the Steed of the Captain if they ever come out with one and I know I’ll need 1995 TP to get it. I’m at like 1850 something right now with really nothing to spend it on.

  Yeah, I’m holding out for the Captain and Warden steeds – which maybe we’ll see sometime before the next expansion? And all I have to keep holding myself back from are the horse cosmetics, but I’ve been strong so far…

      Doc, Yes, totally cracking up that we have been chatting about the Captian steed as recently as yesterday and Wholaa, there it is! Does Turbine monitor your Blog?

        It was curious timing, and I’d like to think so but that’s just my ego talking. I know better then that.
        
        I they were reading, the Warden steed would’ve been out a LONG time ago

Turbine has announced the obligatory 50% off ROR sale for Black Friday weekend. This could make the legendary edition tempting, as it’s a $15 upsell in exchange for the bag, 1000 extra TP, and the other miscellany.

  agreed, not a bad deal – although there’s really not much else I want to buy with TP and the 6th bag really isn’t necessary. But I think its a MUCH better price point then the initial launch price

Doc, coincedently I have about 1950 TP right now, and my Captain is level 85, so I see me grinding some low hanging deeds this weekend to pick up this horse. I am really liking the fact that they give you the cosmetics to equipt your War steed with the look as well. I have a level 75 Warden as well and I hope the Warden steed comes out soon, but I’ll be lacking the points. It will have to have spears sticking out everywhere!

The Warden steed will affectionately be known as the porcupine
