The Lord of The Rings Online is an MMO based in the epic fantasy world created by J.R.R. Tolkien. While the game is now 13 years old, it is still attracts casual players like myself who simply want to enjoy the scenery while interacting with characters from this beloved franchise. Set during the War of The Ring you can follow Frodo to Mount Doom, run around Rohan behind Aragorn or relax at The Prancing Pony with a pint of Butterbur’s finest ale. For some of the endgame content you can also play a [small, but significant] part in some of the pivotal battles of the story such as Helm’s Deep and the Pelennor Fields.
With the release of Update 27, The Lord of the Rings Online introduced a brand-new annual event. The Midsummer Festival celebrates the wedding of Aragorn and Arwen, which took place some time after the overthrow of Sauron. Aragorn, now finally King of Gondor and Arnor as Elrond mandated, can finally wed his fair Elven lady. So, throw off the armour and only raise your weapons in salute, for the new Midsummer Festival is on until the 20th July.
I have a kinship based on the Laurelin [EN-RP] server; the kinship is called the United Free Peoples and is open to any UFP member who wishes to join us as we complete deeds, level characters, complete group content, or just socialise over a pint of the best beer in the Eastfarthing at The Golden Perch.
Everyone is welcome to bring whichever character they want to, and popular vote gets to decide what we set out to accomplish during the evening.
