This past week, many Lord of the Rings Online players impatiently nibbled on lembas bread and took to Reddit as several of the North American servers remained offline for multiple days.

This week in RuneScape appears to be pretty focused on events.

Happy patch day to Ultima Online fans! Publish 109 is live for the almost-23-year-old MMORPG, and it's a bit different from previous publishes, which usually overhaul skills or add new content.
