Spring is about to be Sprung!

Saffron let us know about an upcoming event:

The Free Peoples of Middle-earth have been eagerly awaiting Spring's balmy kiss, and at last it has arrived! This can mean only one thing: time for LOTRO's first Spring Festival! Players should visit the festival grounds beginning March 7 for some spring-themed celebration.

• Love is in bloom! Head to Bree to help with affairs of the heart.
• Get into the spirits! The Tavern League is back for another round with new shenanigans.
• Send a note of affection to that special someone... or maybe even catch the attention of a secret admirer!

So enjoy a respite from battling the encroaching Shadow, and take time to pick some flowers. Heroes picking flowers? Well yes, someone has to do it!

March 7 is right around the corner, so time to buy a new set of clothing and prepare!

Okay, something very strange thing happened to me this morning. I logged in an alt character and noticed he received an email. On retrieving the email it said it was from a Secret Admirer and had a Blue Gift Box attached.

I also noticed that as soon as I detached the item from the email the email deleted itself (Just like it does when it is sent from in game mechanics and not from an actual player human being).

I read the note, something about the admirer and all of their kin noticing my Fight against the Shadow and evil, etc. then I unattached the blue gift box.

Hover over the item and it says open to receive your gift. I opened it and taaa daaa...it was a plain everyday HUGE SPIDER EYE. I am so confused am I missing something? Is this a practical joke from the dev for spring or what lol no player could have sent a Blue Gift Box item let alone something that you have to click on to open but the gift itself is strange. What am I missing?

no, the gift boxes deliver everything and anything from coal to recipes to crafting trophies.
