The Twilight Gathering

Ok reupdateing this with the defrag suite: http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/LOTRO_DefragSuite Does the same job but has two tools in one, much simpler to use too.

It might then be worth running windows defrag (or your prefered one) AFTER you run the tool. The tool defrags WITHIN the .dat files - but of course uses the file-system to shift thing about so will perhaps create some noncontiguous files/free space on your drive, and this is what windows degfrag for example can sort out.

Another thing I just found when reading (as I saw a number of peeps talking about Lotro Flash boost)

Take a look at this over on the lorebook:

This works really well, at least it did for me. My character loading time had increased to 2 minutes or more and now is back to about 40s and transistion between areas is also a lot faster.

whoa! just ran this tool, took around 10-15mins to complete, but the difference in loading times is outstanding! highly recommend running this! much easier!

I tried to extract this to my LOTRO folder and I just get a message saying the file is corrupt, and I can't extract it. Any ideas?

Actuall Bald - go here and get this: http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/LOTRO_DefragSuite

That should work and is much more streight forward.
