So I never mentioned this but I was one of the two winners of the cloak design contest for LOTRO back at the end of last year. It didn't net me anything other than for them to use the design but I was happy either way.

This was the thread announcing the winners:

I ended up cancelling back in May for lack of play time but would check the forums for any sign that it was put in the game.

This was the design I turned in:



Today I found a thread that confirmed that it had been...and not only that it's one of the most sought after cloaks in the game!

Just wanted to share a pic of how it turned out.

Congratulations and very nice.

Wow, that is a beautiful cloak, I can see why everybody's after it. Nicely done!

Thanks guys!

The final product definitely trumps my design by a bit. Hope they do another contest like that so I can work on some other ideas in my head. It's be great if other games did these types of things that the reward is put into the game.
