I took part in beta. Lots of fun! Far better than retail. Everything good that was removed is back! I didn’t test pvmp out much (weren’t enough testers doing it - everyone was testing instances) but it is nice to have the old map back. I did however reexplore the entire old map.
There is something magical about the vanilla version of Lotro. The retail version is VERY different. Also this version is prior to the "f2p" ERA, so the game was not designed around the cash shop. I'm a huge wow classic fan, played classic, tbc wotlk fully, EOA is right up there with wow for me. I never played this original version since I was too young, decpite that I had 4 days of playtime in the Hardcore event alone. Will definitely be my main MMO once it releases. Also its a lot more group focused than wow classic, there are 100s of group quests on your way to max level.
Couldn't agree more. Golden age of the mmo era; without garbage f2p and cash shops. Vanilla WoW and LOTRO are legendary. Might play whenever they decide to release the server.
Will this server be ... "more challenging"? I tried the TLP LOTRO where they restarted from the beginning. and it was so boring easy i couldnt get interested. It was more Warcraft than Warcraft - if you get my meaning.
Classic Lotro is way harder then TLP.. least from my memory, granted I was way younger and still new to MMO's at the time. It was very akin to classic WoW difficulty if not more since there was a lot of nuance with classes and verious amounts of elites/dangerous zones. The problem with the Legendary Servers is that they still used the newer version of the game but just locking content behind expansions.. it wasn't a version of the old game.
A lot harder, the legendary servers were using the modern client and was totally messed up balance wise. Echoes of Angmar is using the original client, meaning there is a ton of group quests and areas that you cant even solo. So yes, it will be more difficult.
Can you be a gnome asking for a friend.... YOU know who I am referring too. He needs like a 2 ft tall buck tooth orange hair gnome. btw he does not like Subway anymore bad experiences there...
just give me stable servers that dont crap out every 20min with intense lag .. i play retail and its becoming unplayable , i can no longer justify paying for it any longer

Glad to read the excitement for the project! I'm right there with you.

Mhh... interesting! I played Lotro back in the day as well, was fun. :D
Looking forward to more content about this one here!
Already knew this guy was a man of culture from Frame One due to the BASED GW1 Pre-Searing Music!
Haha thanks. Appreciate the kind words.
I’ve been waiting on this and a wildstar server for SO LONG. I’m so happy
Cant wait for release
Same here.
Where beta?
I love vanilla LOTRO, one problem i have though is the armor looks super goofy lol. Everyone wearing tights
I’m not getting through it - is it playable at the moment? Beta or so? Or do we really have to wait? 😞😅
Wait
No way it gets released this year unfortunately..! Developers have been radio silent for almost a year at this point 😅
@ssjalin Yeah the Discord has also just been genuinely unejoyable to be in as well. People are just super annoying and toxic for the most part
