Announcing the Second Breakfast Lotteries
Starting today, we will be running a kinship lottery every month. The lottery will be run like the my.lotro lotteries, with rotating items every month. Random.org will be used to determine all winners.
The general lottery will run from the 1st through the end of each month and will feature a different theme each month, such as food, gear, cosmetics, and much more. A thread will be posted on the first day of each month that includes a list of items featured in that month's lottery, and anyone wishing to enter must post on that thread. The drawing will be held on the 1st day of the following month.
The gold rush lottery is currently on hiatus, but may return at some point. Details will be posted here if this money lottery returns.
The October lottery has been posted in our general discussion forum. If you have any questions or suggestions, please send them to Lilia/Rosalie in game or as a PM on the forum. Thanks and good luck!

Thanks for doing this. I have one question. Is the money lottery a single entry lotto, or multiple entry? I assume at the very least one can enter on every alt if they wish. Just checking as I have been part of a guild who did something similar.

Definitely only one entry for the other lotteries, but I must admit I'm still a bit undecided with the cash lottery. The only reason why I'm a bit unsure is that allowing multiple entries tilts the scales towards the people with a bit more money and alts. Most of our members are higher level, but we do have a few who might be more strapped for cash.
Then again, allowing more entries will certainly make that pool so much sweeter. Anybody else care to weigh in?

Yes, this is the same problem I saw with that guild I mentioned. Most of the time the pot would go to someone who already had a lot of money, making me eventually not enter at all.

Perhaps we could allow multiple entries for cash lottery, but still have a limit - i.e. up to 5 entries per character. That way we get the benefits of both, increase pool and limiting the richer characters from "buying" out the lottery chance, so to speak.
My two cents.

The gold rush lottery will run from the 16th through the end of the month. To purchase a "lottery ticket," send 200 silver to "Lotteries" before the end of the month. ..... Thanks and good luck!

This is why we have two lotteries. Unfortunately, free players cannot participate in this traditional type of kin lottery. But all free players are fully able to take part in the other lottery that is currently running.

That sounds good to me--but should it be 5 per character or 5 per person? I personally prefer the latter, but I'm definitely up for hearing other opinions on it.

perhaps the cash lotto should be one entry per Forum Member, and the winner can have it sent to any of their Kinned alts that they wish. I think that might clear up a bit of problems as far as someone paying to have every character slot unlocked in the game versus a casual f2p player with only 2 characters, giving them both the same chance.
It would also strongly encourage kin members to use the forums. And it would also take care of the F2p members who can not send coin from one character to another.
Just my 2 copper.

The April mount lottery has ended (congratulations Qiardo!) and the gold rush lottery is up and running. Send your entries to Lotteries between today and the end of the month for a chance at the pot. Each entry costs 200 silver and players are entitled to up to 5 entries. These entries may be sent in one single lump sum or can be sent from multiple characters.
For an entry to be valid, the character's player note must be updated and the character must be claimed on our website. Free players are unfortunately unable to enter this lottery, but are always encouraged to take part in our regular rotating lotteries.
