Official LOTRO thread


Recommended Posts

So I read that people who use to play LOTRO can come back this weekend and play free. How do I do this? I went to my account managment screen, and I see nothing about free play. All I see is to sign up for billing cycles.

Any idea how I can get back in on this "free" weekend, because I'm not seeing this option.

So hows everyone enjoying Moria? It's about 10 times better than i ever imagined. The design and scale is just immense!

I'm still topside enjoying the new zone, should hit 51 tonight or tomorrow, then heading in to the darkness. I'm also very pleased so far, Turbine really knows how to polish an RPG.

Yeah my friend just went to Conan. I might try getting on your server again bman but I don't plan to be as hardcore with it since I haven't even reached high levels with my main char on Landroval.

There's a point where you think enough is enough and get going on doing one thing better rather than five things at once eh?

Any of you use xfire? Easier to coordinate that way/

yea I am bmangamer on Xfire. http://www.xfire.com/profile/bmangamer/

I am not that hardcore of a player anymore either, never was. I am only level 21 or something, main char. I haven't played for a few months, wants to start playing more so if you actually got on my server it would be nice, but are you on NA servers?

Anyone happen to be on Windolfa(sp?) if so be sure and look me up - here are my toons:

Allegretto 51 Captain

Makali 50 Lore-master

Emeryl 57 Hunter

Celess 47 Burglar

Ghalian 11 Rune-Keeper

Feel free to send a tell I'm usually on most evening from 8pm cst to 11pm cst or so.

I'm happy to roll a new char on another server if we can all meet on one and start a char together?

My current server is Snowbourn.

Is there any way for us in the EU to play with you guys in the US?

stupid tnt lord of the rings marathon got me in the mood to finally play the game again. so i just put in for a character transfer to brandywine (supposedly the most populated server) so i can see people playing the game again

I might transfer to that as well, who knows.

I sure wish I had the money to re-sub to LoTRo again. I really miss playing it, even though none of my toons have ever gotten above level 15 yet lol. It's just a really fun PvE game all around. Sigh.

I cant afford it atm either but i just went and bought a 60 day gametime card from ebay for ?8($11) that way the cash is upfront and i have 2 months to play, if i cant afford it in 2 months then i will wait till i have ?8 to use on LOTRO again and buy another card. All it is is 1 less takeaway a month and im set.

I just bought Moria as well, i quit the game at level 39 because i got bored of it, i recently bought gametime and ive reached level 49 in a week im really enjoying playing again and i cant wait to get to Moria.

Glad I don't have to add money to LOTRO when I want to play, good ol Lifetime membership lol

I also wish there was not 50 other games out, and 20 new games a day.

I only have 1 char, at like 21 or something, I really want to catch up with all the books, and hit level 50. But arrrrg, no one really plays, or at least not when I can.

Just ordered this today, been playing the trial version for a day or 2 and made it to level 15 as a Rune Keeper, unfortunately I signed up for the US trial by accident :(, so gotta start it all over again when my box arrives, think im gonna roll a Minstrel.

Anyone on the EU servers that can recommend which server I should play on, I dont wanna miss out on all the original content (gief pugs) as I always use low level dungeons in MMO's to truly learn how to heal with my character (cant really be done solo and its usually too late at max level). I would class my self as semi-casual in that I usually play games everyday for a good few hours but im not the sort to stay up till ungodly hours of the morning raiding.

Any reccomendations from EU people would be great :)

Thanks in advance.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.
    • Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
    • Wow, 50% increase for the base model. That's steep!
    • A group made up of dozens of cybersecurity experts, including several well-known veterans of the industry, published an open letter to the U.S. government asking it to lift the export control order on Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos models. According to the open letter, “this action has taken the best models away from [cybersecurity] defenders” who now can’t use the models to find vulnerabilities and make their software and products more secure. “To pull the best capabilities away from defenders without a good reason when our adversaries are rapidly advancing is dangerous,” read the letter. On Friday, the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to limit the export of Fable and Mythos, citing national security concerns, without explaining the specific reasons behind the order, according to Anthropic. In response, the company suspended access to the models to all users worldwide.     https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/15/cybersecurity-vets-protest-dangerous-us-government-ban-on-anthropics-most-powerful-models/
