LOTRO 15th Anniversarry

In celebration of fifteen years, Standing Stone Games’ Lord of the Rings Online is going partially free to play. The venerable MMORPG will allow players to adventure through all content and up to level 95. This includes the release of the Helm’s Deep expansion, the High-Elf race, and the Rune-Keeper, Warden, and Beorning classes.

VIP players will also have access to:

  • the Standard versions of
    • Mordor expansion
    • Minas Morgul expansion
    • War of Three Peaks
  • 5 additional quest slots up to 75
  • Subscriber’s Jug (VIP Town Services) will last for 2 weeks

In addition to this, developers are ready to kick off a 15th-anniversary fete to end all fetes. The party begins today at 10:00 am Pacific / 1:00 pm Eastern and will run through May 11th. During the event, players will need to head to The Hill in The Shire. There are a number of quests to complete and other activities that will reward cosmetic items, a steed, war-steed cosmetics, and much more.

This year’s Anniversary Event features a ton of new items to barter and earn! Among the new rewards are cosmetic items, a steed, and war-steed cosmetics “of Crystal Resolve”, a new Golden Crystal Beetle cosmetic pet, new fireworks consumables, a new housing fire pit and fireplace, and the debut of a new pet: the Corgi! Corgis can be bartered for Festivity Tokens, Anniversary Tokens, or Mithril Coins. Some Corgis are being helpful and hauling a cart while others are running unburdened. Everyone who logs in during the Anniversary Event will also receive a free Corgi pet.

In addition, there is an entirely new area to explore called Yondershire. It features new areas to explore that are, of course, packed with quests and adventures for all. VIPs gain access to this new location as part of their subscription. Others will need to purchase it from the LOTRO Store.
