In the fantasy MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online, the saga continues next week. Update 16 now has a release date.
On Monday, May 4th, it is supposed to be released, according to a US site and the US Facebook account of LOTRO. Normally, this day is occupied by Star Wars (May the Fourth/Force be with you), but Update 16 for The Lord of the Rings Online has been long overdue. The date was announced in a live stream.
Update 16 brings three new instances in a cluster, focusing on the fallen city of Osgiliath. New zones in the east of Gondor and new quests are coming. The most important feature is probably a revamp of the legendary weapons. There is a developer diary in German about the relatively complex redesign of the legendary weapons that contains all the important information. Items declared as “inspired” will no longer need to be re-crafted.
