Right now, you can move your character around servers in Lord of the Rings Online for free. You’ll need to take advantage of that very soon, though; the free transfers are a bit of a promotion now that the game’s server transfer system has gotten some upgrades, and the free service is being turned off again on Friday. If you’ve always wanted to see what another server would be like, now’s your chance to do so for free.
The server transfers are in anticipation of the server merge and shutdown happening later this year, with transfers off of the closing worlds expected to start sometime in mid-September to early October. While the developers will not allow free transfers after the fact, they are working on a way to let the affected players transfer between potential new server destinations. Players should keep a close eye on the procedure, but if you have some lingering transfer you’d like to make first, do it today for free.
