Lord of the Rings Online, or LOTRO, is celebrating its 7th anniversary this year. With the anniversary celebrations comes the game’s 13th major update (Update 13), which includes the following new locations and features.
Here’s what’s in store, according to the game's producer Aaron Campbell:
– Epic Book: We’re going to Flooded Isengard. Players will also finally get to experience life as an Ent.
– North Downs: This is a vast and classic region which will be modernized and the space improved, much like with Moria.
– Fangorn Forest: Quickbeam needs your help and new quests in Southern Fangorn, including a special friend you might earn, are in the works.
– Mail will now support multiple attachments: VIPs will be able to open mail in the wilderness through your mail alert. Inventory is getting entirely new management options. And a new prototype of Hobnangians are expected to be released later this year.
– Pressing forward to Gondor: Digging in deep (but not too deep) to continue the journey through Middle-earth. More about the plans for 2014 and into 2015 will be revealed in the near future.
