We have recently become aware of a group working on a private server project, and we want to share with the community today a letter from Middle-earth Enterprises:

Dear Echoes of Angmar team,

We have noted the Echoes of Angmar game that you have posted and we appreciate and share your enthusiasm for the Tolkien works, and specifically for the developers and creators of the epic MMO, The Lord of the Rings Online. Judging from your website and Discord, you are individuals who possess a boundless enthusiasm for LOTRO, J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings. We’re here to acknowledge your enthusiasm, and thank you for your fandom. Unfortunately, we, as trademark holders and stewards of the Tolkien works, more often than we’d like, must deliver some potentially difficult news. As your business is using the Tolkien works and trademarks in an unauthorized manner without benefit of a license, we must ask you to cease.

As stewards of the Tolkien works, we take our role very seriously in order to protect the works for all time, on behalf of fans everywhere. As owners of the intellectual property rights, we are charged with protecting those rights both morally and legally. Unfortunately, Echoes of Angmar uses specific content from the books and from our Licensee for The Lord of the Rings Online without the benefit of a license. Honestly, it breaks our hearts to post letters like this one. It is not uncommon for fans to create things reflecting an affection for the Tolkien works. It is thus with a heavy heart that we must ask that you immediately cease all of your unauthorized use of Echoes of Angmar, and all other Tolkien-related IP on all platforms, including Discord, Youtube and on Echoes of Angmar.

We welcome the opportunity to answer any questions you may have on the subject, and wish you all the best in your future duly authorized endeavors.

Kind regards,

Middle-earth Enterprises

The big news that emerged from the Q&A is that Standing Stone Games is working on a “remastered” version of the game’s graphics and user interface upgrades. This isn’t a top-to-bottom overhaul but rather a widespread attempt to bring outdated art, creaky UI elements, and archaic systems up to par with the newer additions. More character creation options are in the works as well.

Other projects in the works include a new endgame six-player dungeon, a “War of the Three Peaks-sized” update that includes a new region in Eriador, the game’s first new skirmish in a long while, an alternative 1-30 leveling path with its own story, server improvements to reduce lag, 64-bit servers, and a “delving” system that will allow players to increase mission (and, later, skirmish) difficulty. Multifactor authentication is another project that the team is working on for the future, as is an “overflow server” that will allow free transfers on and off for high periods of game use.

More endgame content is coming over the course of the next few updates, as Ciccolini apologized for the studio “dropping the ball” on this area of the game. The producer’s letters will slow down in cadence from every three months to every four months.

νομίζω δε θα έχουν θέμα, όπως δεν έχουν θέμα και με κοτζάμ Blizzard οι πειρατικοί του WoW, που κάποιοι τρέχουν για χρόνια χωρίς προβλήματα.
In any case, δε διάβασα κάτι ανησυχητικό από πλευράς του team ΕοΑ

Υπενθυμίζω πως τρέχει και φέτος και μέχρι τα τέλη Οκτώβρη η προσφορά όπου σου δίνουν κωδικό για τζάμπα quest packs, ενώ επιλεγμένα expansions πωλούνται έναντι μόλις 99 TP.

χμ δεν θυμάμαι τα πήρα; για να τσεκάρω όταν πάω σπίτι το απόγευμα. Αν και να πω την αλήθεια μου είναι λίγο δύσκολο παιχνίδι να πάει κάτω πλέον. Τα δείχνει πολύ άσχημα τα χρόνια του.

Φέρεται να ακυρώθηκε επειδή το οικονομικό του κόστος ορίστηκε στα 30 εκατομμύρια.



There’s a bit of bad news for LOTRO, however. Remember last year when EG7 began talking up a remaster of LOTRO? It’s not happening now. In fact, Ham uses it as an example of poor return on risk. He tells investors it would have cost the company something like $30M – and for that, it could’ve built a brand-new game. So don’t expect that to happen for LOTRO (or any other title in EG7’s portfolio).
