The long-running Lord of the Rings Online MMO just celebrated its 16th birthday on April 24, kicking off three weeks of anniversary celebrations. Players can join in by undertaking the Anniversary Scavenger Hunt and Festival Quests, as well as helping to bring about the largest fireworks display ever seen in Bree.
The Scavenger Hunt returns from previous years’ anniversary events, taking players through the entire history of the game in a huge series of quests. If players have already started the hunt in previous years, they will be able to pick back up where they left off last time.
A series of special quests are also available during the event, which can be picked up in Bree, the Methel-stage, Thorin’s Gate, the Horse Races, and The Party Tree. A number of special event vendors will be popping up through Middle-earth to allow players to pick up goodies for the anniversary, including anniversary items from years past. You can check out the full guide to the anniversary event here, to make sure you don’t miss anything.
Sky: Children of the Light‘s Valentine’s event Days of Love is back, with new cute items, and the chance to collect old items from previous years’ events. The celebration will run until February 26, and will be reflected in the surroundings of the Home space with a decorated pier and a soft ambience that will reward extra Light.
Throughout the duration of the event, all gifts of hearts and light sent to friends will be doubled, allowing players to better share the love.
A visitor Spirit from Days of Fortune will also be present through the event, ready to offer a few trinkets to players who greet them. These include a flowery archway redeemable for 100 candles, and a flower crown available for 15 hearts. New spells will also be available, including the Days of Love Gondola and paper crane-shaped message spells.

I’ve been thinking recently, apropos of absolutely nothing, about the word “Legacy”. How it’s a particularly loaded word when it comes to authors, artists, filmmakers… any kind of creative, really. A prolific author, unlike the vast majority of us, leaves behind a body of work full of clues as to their real character: Terry Pratchett, for example, who is Britain’s best and most beloved author after Tolkien, published a bewildering 41 Discworld novels over a period of 32 years, almost exactly the latter half of his life.
If you’re currently doing some quick maths and thinking, that’s preposterous, that means he must have written more than one book a year at one point, then yeah, at the time it was a bit of a running joke. At his most prolific he was writing over 400 words per day, minimum, with an almost religious determination. Sometimes he would write significantly more. At that rate, you can knock out a novel’s worth of words in around six months. The trick is sustaining it: it’s astonishing to me, someone who writes a 1200 word script and then has to go and have a lie down for about a week, that he just wrote, and wrote, and wrote, and never stopped.
Blizzard has announced a Lunar New Year event for Overwatch 2. The new seasonal event introduces new skins for players, festive map changes, the return of arcade brawls, and more.
Whenever a player loads into Lijang Tower, they’ll see fireworks shooting up into the sky as a part of the Lunar New Year celebration. They’ll also be able to play the following modes: capture the flag, capture the flag blitz, and bounty hunter.
Capture the flag blitz is a faster-paced version of capture the flag arcade brawl. The flag is placed in the center of the map, and both teams have to race to the flag first to ensure they win. Players can also participate in the 2023 competitive capture the flag and earn competitive points. In bounty hunter mode, players will be thrown into a free-for-all match. Whoever can kill an opponent first will have a bounty placed on them, and while they have the bounty on them, they can earn more points when they get kills –but the catch is that everyone can see the bounty at all times, no matter where they are.
