This morning a Producers Letter from Aaron Campbell was posted up to LotRO's forums. In it he revealed the new class that was announced some time ago, the Beorning. Lore wise, for those of you who don't know, Beorning was a "man", or rather a shapeshifter that was close to men. You would have seen him in the last Hobbit movie, the Desolation of Smaug.
The letter also included an announcement that the housing revamp everyone has been crying for won't be seen this year.
So in LotRO world it's mixed bags. Some people are happy, but there's some quiet internet nerd rage over the Beorning class (since Beorn in the movie and in the books was supposedly the last of his kind) and some player rage over the lack of a housing revamp again this year that was promised back at the end of 2012.
You can read the whole letter from the link at the beginning of my post.
