Turbine just announced the advent of a new public test server, called Bullroarer, which will periodically be rotated with copies of all the characters of a single Live server, starting with Elendilmir.
More importantly though, since Bullroarer is now live, it comes with a preliminary list of patch notes for Book 7! You can check them out here, or stay tuned for an abbreviated analysis and summary of them here on lotroinfo.com called Cliff's Patch Notes, due sometime this weekend.
