A couple years back, Standing Stone Games launched Anor, a Legendary server for The Lord of the Rings Online where you could progress through the game's many expansions and content updates at a steady pace.
And if you wouldn't mind undertaking that long and perilous journey once again, you can now do so thanks to Shadowfax and Treebeard, two new Legendary servers. Apart from an opportunity to relive the past, these servers also offer tweaked progression curves and some expanded difficulty options.
Here's more on that:
Introducing: Shadowfax and Treebeard!
The Legendary World experience now has two new servers, Shadowfax and Treebeard, that will take you through the journey faster or slower, more or less difficult - your choice!
Speed through Middle-earth on the Shadowfax server:Enjoy every moment of LOTRO on the Treebeard server:
- Get +50% XP, Legendary Item XP, and Mount XP along with +20% Virtue XP!
- Unlocks more quickly than normal, about every two months.
Shadowfax and Treebeard also debut a new Landscape Difficulty option! Currently, this option is only available on Shadowfax and Treebeard. Speak with Berthadan near the Prancing Pony in West Bree to get started!
- Get only 40% of the XP you would normally receive (-60% reduced XP).
- Unlocks less frequently than normal, about every five to six months.
You can set the landscape difficulty between Normal and Deadly +6, which increases the challenge of enemies you'll face on the landscape. The difficulty can be changed again at any time by speaking again with Berthadan. However, if you begin a higher level difficulty prior to reaching level 11 and stick with a high level difficulty you will get rewarded for reaching levels 50 and 130! Four titles are available per class; two for reaching Hard+ difficulty at level 50 and level 130, and two for reaching Deadly+ difficulty at level 50 and level 130. You MUST activate your desired difficulty prior to reaching level 11, and maintain that difficulty or higher until you earn your title. A Deed can be found in-game to track your progress.
Additional dangers face you at all Deadly difficulties in the form of "Eye of Sauron" effects. Once the Eye of Sauron is upon you, your progress will be hintered by several random effects for the next minute or so. Players will get an XP and Virtue XP boost for running on higher difficulties, starting at +10% XP up to +20% XP and +1% up to +5% Virtue XP.
Legendary Worlds are available to any VIP from the game launcher.
