After careful analysis of play patterns, the decision was made to change the preview program to only open the servers when new content is available. We will also open them for special events. To support this change we have already begun the process of converting Roheryn to support the new program. Following the launch of Mines of Moria the preview program will resume. Unfortunately we will not be able to carry over preview characters from Book 14 to Moria.
Check the news from the LOTRO site including instructions on how to uninstall the Roheryn Client

From the LOTRO Forums:
Amarthiel seeks to reforge Narchuil, the ring of iron she forged long ago under the tutelage of the Dark Lord Sauron. In an effort to stop her, Elrond Halfelven of Rivendell has dispatched heralds throughout Eriador, seeking the last vestiges of the Ring-lore of Eregion. These Heralds have been charged to enlist the help of people of good courage to help in this endeavour, and reward them for their efforts. Once enough fragments of lore have been gathered, Elrond may learn a way to hinder the Champion of Angmar and put an end to Narchuil’s threat once and for all.

Book 14 on Roheryn
According to LOTRO.com Book 14 is live on the test server Roheryn and for the first time players (only in Roheryn) can try the new stage 2 Download Manager that will make all the upgrade processes a lot easier.
Check more about this on the Official LOTRO Forums - Book 14 on Roheryn
Stratics posted recently the dev chat log where the LOTRO developers talk about some new stuff and changes we will see in the upcoming Book 14.
As usualt the devs are not supposed to give full details but a post in the offical LOTRO forums says july is the B14 release date so more information may be coming soon.
We have changed our custom made script and moved to Wordpress to offer better compatibility options with other publishing systems.
The old custom script has nothing bad… the only issue is that I have no time to maintain it and upgrade it and Wordpress offers almost all the features included in the old version… and for the unsupported ones I can deal with the WP code and create my own code… Viva Open Source!
This change will allow LotroNotes.com to have more stuff also. I’m planning on adding more content types in the future like videos, pictures and some guides.
The aprox.635 MB patch (Boock 12 to Book 13) is available and can be downloaded here
This patch only applies to the US / Australia / New Zeland version of the Game.
