The Executive Producer Rob Ciccolini revealed some details about the plans that the development team wants to implement for the next year in an interview with YouTuber Bludborn. Although the official roadmap for 2024 has not yet been revealed, Ciccolini provided a comprehensive insight into the future of the game in the interview.

We will tell you what specific plans there are.

Exploration of the Umbar Region and New 64-Bit Servers

Ciccolini announced that players will continue their adventures in the coastal region of Umbar in the expansion Corsairs of Umbar and that they will focus on it. The remaining areas on the map are still to be developed. Additionally, the Elves are set to receive a graphical update.

With the expansion, Lord of the Rings Online brought 350 new quests in four new zones and raised the level cap to 150 in November of this year. Additionally, there was a revamp of the crafting system.

Exciting Developments of the Legendary Servers

One of the likely highlights of the plans for 2024 concerns the next legendary servers. Ciccolini hints that a new mechanic will be introduced where players will be hunted. Additionally, the team is exploring the possibility of launching regional legendary servers specifically for players in Europe.

Technical Changes

The promised 64-bit servers are reportedly ready to go live, according to Ciccolini. However, there are still delays in implementing two-factor authentication and the new LOTRO launcher. The team is working on it.
