'With this update, all quests, areas, instances, and expansions released between the original launch of LOTRO back in 2007 and up to – and including! - the release of Helm’s Deep, the High-elf race, and the Rune-Keeper, Warden, and Beorning classes- will be available for free to everyone.' When a blue asterisk appears next to a chat tab, new chat content is there, so click on each tab.ĭue to Update 33 on April 20, 2022, 'Quest, explore, and craft your way to level 95 to your heart’s content!' Quest Say: user chat 1-8, standard, say, regional, rp, ooc, loot (fellow), leaderboard, event broadcast, error, emote General: standard, regional, quest, loot (self), leaderboard, event broadcast, error, combat event, advancement These are the chat tab and filters I suggest to help manage your chat: For that reason, I create new chat tabs and rename them, then adjust the filters. With all the filters in general, communication can be a challenge if you want to be able to hold a conversation.

So, the default chat tabs all characters start with are general, combat, and ims. Managing your chat channels can be made easier if you add extra chat tabs, then adjust the filters. To generate more Lotro Points (LP) for use in the in-game point store, I believe the goal is to complete all quests/deeds for the zone (landscape), instances, and character class. I made two characters, completed deeds in the four free zones: the Shire, Ered Luin, Bree-land, and Lonelands. How I did that is below:Īll accounts start with two character slots. Starting in March 2017, I played for free for 14 months, then went vip, and logged into all characters on the account to make them all premium. I have unlocked all expansions and quest packs, so it is possible. I do not know if you will like the game, but if you do, playing almost entirely for free is a viable strategy. If you enjoy the content and story, completing deeds on 10 or more characters can be like watching your favorite movie over and over. I went vip using money on this steam account and I believe the cost was $15.

Turbine Points (TP) are no longer valid, since Lotro Points (LP) are now used to make purchases from the in-game store.Īt this time (December 2, 2020), I have 15 active characters on the account and played almost entirely for free except for going vip for a month.

Standing Stone Games (SSG) instead of Turbine now has control of the game.
