With a pair of fresh Lord of the Rings Online legendary servers coming in July, time and testing is paramount to making sure that the new 64-bit architecture and world event work from the get-go. To help in that regard, SSG is hosting a stress test for the upcoming Mordor sever from Monday through Wednesday this week.
