Fun and quick, if you know anything about MMO or even other computer RPGs.
My favorite part is the “Epic Quest Arc“, or maybe:

Six New Skills!
• Oppressive Yolk
• Hot Wings
• Eggcellent Assault
• Scramble
• Poach
• Batter |
New Features!
• New Instrument: Drumstick!
• New Trait: Nuggets of Wisdom
• New Fellowship Skill: A Pox Upon You
• New PvMP Rank: Colonel
• Universal Cook Recipe: “Tastes Like…”
• One-shot Cook Recipe: Yourself! |
Note: Chickens are a recurring comedic theme in Magic:The Gathering, and this also isn’t the first time they’ve surfaced in LOTRO.

The good news is that you can now find about a year and a half of columns there, all of them with legible titles and descriptions.

Maybe the merged company will be big enough to wake up, add what’s missing, and grow the enterprise text search market beyond its current level of:
1. Collection of niche markets plus
2. Unimportant universal technology add-on
