Thanks to Daybreak Games The Lord of the Rings Online is still kicking after its 2007 launch. It’s not just in stasis mode either: it’s getting rather big patches at a decent pace, which includes the newest upcoming update 23, “Where Dragons Dwell.”
The main gist is that the existing LOTRO world of Middle-earth is getting expanded a bit, with more places to go like the Iron Hills, Erebor (Lonely Mountain) and the Grey Mountains. The Bassoon is also being added (the ability to play instruments is a huge part of the game, and players even have yearly concerts), as are 80 quests, new instances, raids, and more Dwarf holds.
You can check out a few exclusive screens in the gallery and find the full nominal patch notes below. If you’re curious about the new team we published an interview earlier this year with Ben “DrOctothorpe” Schneider, Lead Designer on Lord of the Rings Online.
