The peaceful meadows of Middle-earth will soon tremble and nothing will be as it was…
Because Lord of the Rings Online is celebrating its seventh anniversary! From April 17 to April 29, 2014, the party will take place and promises not only a beautiful fireworks display. Depending on how old your account is and whether you are a Premium or VIP player, there are additional gifts. If you haven’t been playing HRDO for that long or don’t know it, here’s a short explanation:
- Premium = Someone who has spent money in the shop or market or was once a VIP
- VIP = Active subscriber
And what is there for these players now? Generally, the cut-off date is always April 30 of the year, so if you have been registered for longer than…
- 1 year registered: Anniversary fireworks
- 2 years registered: Three scrolls of perpetual speed (60 minutes duration), +5 % attack damage (90 minutes) x1, 10 battle-recovery potions
- 3 years registered: Three loot box keys
- 4 years registered: Azure festive clothing
- 5 years registered: A festive azure horse
- 6 years registered: A festive, azure cosmetic appearance for your warhorse
- 7 years registered: A shield cloak, a treasure chest key and if you have a monster-player character, the /dance emote and 5 % attack damage x5
Depending on the number of years, you will also receive a matching character portrait frame. If you can hardly wait, you will unfortunately have to wait until April 17, 2014, because then a large batch of gifts will be waiting in your inventory. If your bags are full, the rest will be delivered to you at the next login when there is space.
Don’t worry, even if you haven’t played for a while, you are not excluded from the action. Even if you can’t manage to log in during the event, the gifts will not expire.
Maybe the free-to-play players among you will gulp… But hey! You still get a firework!
There’s actually only one thing left to say: Happy Birthday, Lord of the Rings Online!
So seriously, what do you think about this?
Is it okay that Premium and VIP players are prioritized?
Are you disappointed as a F2P player?
Do you not care?
Do you consider people greedy for wanting more?
