Last night, Stratics hosted a Dev chat with Turbine's LOTRO dev team. The transcript is now available.

Sprite - *JaySpeed* We're well into October now. Are you all ready to announce the launch date for book 11?
Annuvin - Two words: Marketing Ninjas. As for specifics, I can't give you a real date, only an unofficial one. We're aiming for somewhere in the 20's or single digits of a month. As for exact dates, we have one internally, but... yeah.
* Scenario looks around the room cautiously
Saffron - This marketing ninja says around the end of October. :-) * Not really a marketing ninja.
