Turbine welcomes the spring season today by kicking off The Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) in-game Spring Festival! To mark the start of the festival, Turbine has released a new batch of screenshots depicting just some of the special activities planned, including everything from new mini-games like Stomp-A-Shrew, to the popular Hedge Maze in the Shire, the Feast of the Greenfields, as well as special decorations, festive costumes, and new Ale Association quests.

There is more to see in the Spring Festival this year than ever, and plenty to keep players busy over the next month. More information about the Spring Festival can be found at www.LOTRO.com and in this developer diary. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to review the game.
