Standing Stone Games has detailed how two of the so-called progressive servers for The Lord of the Rings Online—Angmar and Mordor—will operate in the coming months. These worlds, launched in August 2024, will cease to exist by spring 2027.

The developers announced that on November 12, the maximum character level on the Angmar and Mordor servers will be raised to 120. Players will gain access to the Grey Mountains, the Vales of Anduin, and battles with all nine Nazgûl. The Nazgûl spawn rate will be increased: they will appear approximately every six hours to give players more opportunities to earn rewards.

In December and February, the level cap will continue to be raised until it reaches 140, and players will gain access to the Gundabad expansion. In January, free character transfers from the closing servers to regular ones will become available. This option will be available until the end of March 2027.

Standing Stone Games also mentioned that it is preparing a new series of “legendary servers” for 2027, when the game will celebrate its anniversary, but has not yet revealed any details.
