Lord Of The Rings Online Fan Shows How Much Virtual Middle-Earth Has Grown In 15 Years
Over the past 15 years, Lord of the Rings Online’s rendition of Middle-Earth has grown steadily with the addition of new zones. One player, named Dolmande, puts just how much the virtual world has grown from 2007 to 2022 into perspective with a gif that shows when the zones were added and how they eventually came together to form the virtual version of Middle-Earth that we now know.
Meanwhile, the Curator is making her way back to the game on December 24th to exchange your Figments of Splendour for various rewards. You’ll be able to find her at her usual hangout spots in Bree-land, Moria, Dunland, Ered Mithrin, and Morgul Vale until January 3rd.
For those eagerly awaiting the addition of the landscape difficulty slider, we’re sorry to burst your bubble but that’s not happening anytime soon. “We are definitely not in the process of adding the legendary world landscape difficulty to the regular game worlds, sorry if conversations on the subject led to that conclusion,” clarified Standing Stone Games.
And now, without further ado, I present to you the ever-growing map of Middle-Earth.
