The Lord of the Rings Online is apparently still a thing. I remember playing the game for a little bit way back when, but I simply assumed it went belly up when everything was turned into an MMO before the great MMO purge. Or I assume there was an MMO purge, I’m not very up on things in that world outside of World of Warcraft and Star Trek Online. I have a type, it seems.
Mordor, the long-awaited expansion for The Lord of the Rings Online, is available to play today. This expansion allows players the ability to explore the shadowy lands beyond the Black Gate and includes:
- Over 300 new quests: Players journey into Mordor and plunge into a new adventure, filled with lost stories, unfamiliar enemies, and the opportunity to fight through the lands around Mount Doom and beyond.
