Lottery - free items :)
I am not sure if everyone else is aware of this or not. In LotRO (and DDO), Turbine has a lottery system on their main web site that you can enter your characters into. These run a few times a week and the items are dependent on your character level.
To enter into a lottery, just follow these basic steps.
1. Go to http://my.lotro.com/home/
2. Log in.
3. Scroll down the page and see if you have the lottery widget on the page already
3.a If not, click the 'more widgets' link on the right side, just under the button bar. Select to add the lottery widget.
4. Click the lottery widget to see what lotteries you can enter each character into.
4.a Click the little check boxes for the characters you want to enter, the press submit to enter them.
The lottery will tell you at what time it will end. Once it ends, the same widget will tell you if you won. If you win, log into LotRO and open your new mail

/agree
Great tip. Now I just need Turbine customer support to get to my ticket about the fact that my account shows no characters at all.
