Haha, btdt with inventory items more than once! And IRL with emails and stuff, as I discovered to my embarrassment the other day.
I guess the battle tower is a sturdy enough construction and the Black Ring's primary mode of attack was Death Fog rather than wholescale destruction; having said that, the latter seems to be more the case with Champion Harbour but it is a military installation I suppose, whereas the Battle Tower, though impregnable, has a rather ragtag skeleton crew.
The game crashing in Aleroth is worrying. It "shouldn't" do that so I have no idea why it is. Maybe Raze will know, that's more his sort of thing.
