We hope you enjoy editing here!

Never played on Al'Kabor, but have been on and off EQ since before Kunark. Such a shame about them totally killing off the Mac support. :( Welcome to LOTRO and the wiki, at least! Sethladan 19:50, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
Editing tip
When indenting, use a : as the first character of a line instead of a space. The space puts a "box" around the following text.
-- Example:
: This effect is bestowed
- This effect is bestowed
This effect is bestowed
You can use multiple colons :: ::: etc. to create deeper indents.
Good practice is to put a space following that first wiki-control character.
LOTRO Mac support
Make certain you are aware of the pages at Mac Client. I try to keep it current (and more or less accurate) along with answering questions at the Forums:
and the Steam LOTRO forum.
Feel free to add or correct information. And who knows, someday, Turbine might actually spread some more love (i.e. bug fixes) on the LOTRO Mac Client.
Feel free to re-organize the page.
- It started out pretty simple with only a few things -- and "just grow'd." I haven't really looked at its organization for some time, so all assistance is welcome.
- " Since my machine is so fast, I suspect there was a thread race condition that Turbine normally didn't notice on slower hardware -- my daughter's iMac wasn't having any problems with the game on similar graphics settings."
- That's an interesting observation. I have a lot of "systems" experience with OSX, but little actual "Developer" involvement. I'm an "Old line" Unix Systems Administrator, not a programmer, but have been running Macs since the first ones appeared at the University of Pennsylvania long ago. (I've been retired since 2003).
- What I seem to see most frequently on my iMac (late 2010) is "timer-runouts" both obviously related to AFK timeout and dumps which show a Lua timer runout.
- I don't know if you noticed -- there is a thread at the Mac Technical Support Forum which deals with the successes and failures folks have had with graphics settings. I suppose it would be interesting to map those successes and failures to people's CPU/system speeds. Which naturally begs the question -- clock speed or number of cores? Shades of the old Megahertz Wars!
