Well met people of Middle-earth!
We also wish you Earth-bound people a happy new year of the Pig!
With a portion of the dev team off celebrating the Lunar New Year, the rest of the team has been focusing on bug fixes and designing our new Tutorial, UI enhancements and quality of life improvements for rollout in the coming weeks.
Besides all of this behind the scenes development, there's additional news we wanted to share.
Mithril Upgrade Extended!
First, we've decided to extend the Mithril Bundle Upgrade through this weekend!
If you want to buy one of the existing Founder's packages or upgrade your existing Founder's pack to the Mithril Bundle, this weekend is your last chance. to do so and lock in the exclusive Mithril Bundle content.
The Mithril Bundle upgrades your existing Founder's pack to the Mithril level with the following unique Avatars, Player Tag Frames and Card Backs:
Player Avatars
Player Tag Frame
In addition, you'll receive all Mithril pack bonuses we've mentioned previously, including alt-art, new exclusive card backs, and the first and second Expansion DLC packs for free!

Core Set Goes Live Next Week
With the extension of the Mithril Bundle upgrade deadline, we've decided to hold off switching to the new Core Set until Monday at 10am Central Time (US).
After this change, the Founder's packs will no longer be available. Instead, we offer you the the Core Set as a single point of entry into Middle-earth in anticipation for leaving Early Access later in 2019. (Don't worry, this has no effect on any existing packs or users- this change only applies to new purchases made after the switchover on Monday.)
The Core Set is priced at $18.99 (prices vary by territory- see your local Steam store for exact pricing).
Multiplayer Scoring Fix
When we released multiplayer, a scoring glitch made its way into the game which caused players to receive different scores when completing the game. A fix was deployed on the server side last weekend to all players and has been live this week. Both players should now receive the same score based on the best possible joint score achieved.
Remember that if you play as a guest on a quest you have not yet unlocked, you receive no score. Be sure to unlock all of your quests to receive a score!
Helpshift
