The fantasy MMORPG Lord of the Rings Online celebrates its eighth anniversary and rewards players more generously the longer they have remained loyal to this classic.
On April 24, 2007, Lord of the Rings Online was released and the servers are still running today. Still, mail must be delivered in the Shire, beer must be drunk in the Prancing Pony, and an orc’s skull must be split. Eight years is quite a time for an MMORPG. Most age not in dog years, but significantly faster.
Although the Ring has still not made it to Mount Doom, in the coming months, the journey is supposed to lead players to Eastern Gondor. But let’s forget that on the birthday.
Turbine has prepared a lot for the players for the eighth anniversary, and the festive activities will take place from April 15 to April 28. And there are gifts: Depending on how many yearly rings the players’ accounts have already collected, there are different rewards, mainly reflected in the lavish form of portrait frames.
To receive the portrait frames and the other special gifts, one must have been a premium player on April 12, otherwise, there’s only fireworks. Here is a detailed list of the rewards.
And here is a little nostalgia flash, a YouTuber has compiled the best trailers from all the years:
