There have been a number of live in-game events reported on the official forums. From orcs attacking trestlebridge to attacks on Ost Guruth.

 

One was on my server Brandywine...wish I was there.

"Hardcore gaming is not what it used to be"

Yup , and from the likes, they release some creeps onto the masses

That would be true.  I was on either Fri or Sat night (EST) when I got a message saying Orcs were attacking Thestlebridge.  I made my way over there, along with about 30-40 others, and we fought about4 or 5 waves of 20 or so Orcs. 

Being I'm lvl 46, they were all grey to me, but it was a neat idea that brought a bunch of people together!

There's been a few other times where similar invasions have taken place. I love the idea of live events and hope that such things continue in more variety and frequency.

Turbine has done things like this in another game of theirs, DDO. It went over very well in that game, so hopefully they keep doing it in LoTRO as well.

Glad to see people like it!

yeah I remember in Shadowbanes early days the devs would use strange named super hardcore boss mobs and run around and roleplay....sometimes slaying your entire grp if you couldnt take em on.

They certainly ran a couple of invasion-of-trestlebridge events on the European servers last week (saturday as well as sunday).
