After a brief delay yesterday, Standing Stone Games is back on track with Lord of the Rings Online’s Mordor server stress test, which means it’s time to go get murdered by Nazgul! I mean, uhh… time to escort the current Ringbearer to reinforce your merry band of Free People of Middle-earth and defeat the Great Evil. Yeah.
As we’ve been covering, the Mordor server is an upcoming Europe-based legendary (progression) server; SSG is hoping to stress-test both the new server’s technical capabilities as well as the new event, and now you’re getting your chance. The test server is already open, and if you want to see the Ringwraith event, you’ll want to log in starting at 2 p.m. EDT today.
“Update 41 Beta 3 is hosted on our new European based 64-bit server! Select Mordor (EU) in server select from your Bullroarer launcher to begin your adventure on this brand new server! Wednesday, July 3rd at 2:00 PM EDT, please join us for a special event – a preview of the Veil of the Nine hosted by Vastin! Ringwraiths will storm the lands, intent on spreading darkness across Middle-earth! Only very powerful groups will be able to defeat this advancing threat! This event will continue until ~4 PM EDT.”
Mordor is now available for preview through the Bullroarer preview client! NOTE: Character copy is currently not available. The Eyes and Guard Tavern is accessible in the Archet jail yard, near the Thorin's Gate stables and in Mossward. Read more: https://t.co/bFEkgzRw91 #LOTRO
