Again in June SSG copped to their head pretend and gave everyone remaining on the 32-bit servers 76 days to switch to the brand new 64-bit servers earlier than the outdated worlds went darkish.
Being anyone who most likely pays an excessive amount of consideration to such issues, I acquired my remaining characters out of the land of 32-bit that very day. However MMORPGs like LOTRO are filled with gamers who come and keep for a season, then run off to do one thing else, that means to return at some future date. These folks had been shit out of luck if they confirmed up after August thirty first to play their outdated characters.
Properly, now could be your likelihood to reclaim your outdated characters. Darkish world transfers will probably be accessible till October 1st, 2027. That may be a fairly beneficiant window given how stingy SSG has been thus far for time frames. However, if previous statements are to be trusted, there will probably be no second likelihood after that date. So get it performed.
The next servers are going to be accessible for darkish world transfers.
- US 32-bit sport worlds:
- Arkenstone
- Brandywine
- Crickhollow
- Gladden
- Landroval
- EU 32-bit sport worlds:
- Belegaer
- Evernight
- Gwaihir
- Laurelin
- Sirannon
There are directions within the official put up, however it is best to know that you simply can not log into these servers any extra to verify on characters, swap or promote stock, or clear up banks. You must go together with what you will have.
The next goal servers can be found.
- US 64-bit sport worlds:
- Sting
- Glamdring
- Peregrin (US-RP)
- EU 64-bit sport worlds:
- Grond
- Orcrist
- Meriadoc (EU-RP)
US 32-bit servers are restricted to US 64-bit locations, and EU are restricted to EU, save for the Treebeard particular server, from which gamers can select both US or EU servers as a vacation spot.
As well as, SSG has introduced some restricted free transfers between 64-bit sport worlds to assist alleviate crowding and efficiency points from having had everyone pile onto the preliminary servers after they first opened, a clown present of epic proportions the place the promised efficiency enhancements… there was an announcement about these servers providing the meant participant expertise… solely to have them lavatory down and play as poorly because the 32-bit servers they changed.
It seems 64-bit isn’t the identify of one of many rings of energy.
Anyway, these strikes can be found without cost till November 1, 2026.
- Orcrist to Grond
- Meriadoc to Grond
- Glamdring to Sting
- Peregrin to Sting
After that strikes will must be paid for, and the worth for that’s fairly steep.
In doing my strikes from a number of servers, the one actual downside I bumped into was the truth that when the sport mixed shared financial institution area, it refused to stack like merchandise, so I had to purchase extra space to get stuff freed up. So it goes.
Anyway, get the phrase out if you realize anyone who acquired left behind final time.
Syl, I’m taking a look at you!
