Trivia

Bingo Boffin's look is based on Made of Lions one of the Developers on the LOTRO Team.

"I have been turned into an NPC! Bingo Boffin was based on old photos of me, before I had the beard I grew for Rohan (and subsequently kept). I think there’s more than a little of me in Bingo, which probably isn’t that surprising." — Made of Lions (Source A Retrospective Look at the Last 15 Years)
