Lord of the Rings Online gives players the first taste of Update 18

The next update to Lord of the Rings Online is not here just yet, but it is in its testing stage, and that means players can start exploring the update in its test state. The fine people at LotRO Players have been doing just that, offering players an early preview of what to expect from the new areas, dungeons, and so forth.

Two new regions are included in this update, Taur Druadan and the Beacon Hills, both of which are previewed in videos just below. There’s a promise of more to come as the exploration of the patch contents continues, naturally, but a travelogue seems like the place to start as the game slowly creeps toward its final destinations.
