Well, it depends. We mostly play in phases though I've never been in the kin myself. Currently I'm not playing LotRO though.

64-bit servers are coming to LoTRO!
This was announced in December (here and here) and there's a bit more information available after today's livestream. There are going to be four new servers: Glamdring (US), Orcrist (EU), Meriadoc (EU-RP) and Peregrin (US-RP).
The current standard (i.e. not legendary) servers will remain operational for the time being, but I get the impression that they will evaluate the populations of these later in the year with a view to closing those with lower player populations. I feel that their ultimate goal is to get everyone playing on the 64-bit servers as the technology to run the 32-bit servers is becoming obsolete.
There are no dates available yet but VIP accounts will have a 24 hour head start to create three new characters to reserve beloved names before the free transfer window opens. I am planning to transfer my characters and the kinship to the Meriadoc RP server as soon as this window opens. After I have transferred, the kinship will cease to exist on Laurelin but any members transferring across after me will automatically be added when they arrive on the new server.

The Meriadoc RP server looks to be our new home, as that's the other new EU RolePlay server.
I can't wait! Mordor had much better performance when I tried, even at launch with so many players! Really looking forward to getting back in to LotROMy hunter is chilling in Mirkwood - See, Saelanna, I have progressed beyond the outskirts of Moria

I can confirm that Meriadoc (EU-RP) will be our new home.
The performance improvements were very noticeable when I played on Mordor, the legendary 64-bit server. I've not played that much there as I was not a huge fan of the "Veil of the Nine" mechanic. As a solo adventurer on that server, Ringwraiths popping up randomly when I was trying to complete quest objectives got annoying after a while, it happened a bit too often at times. Thankfully, VotN will not be present on Meriadoc.
I'll keep updating this thread as and when there are more updates regarding the transfer process, but I will look at my diary to see if I can start hosting events again. I started playing on the Treebeard VIP server and have really enjoyed playing again; sadly the player population on that server is very low and they will probably look to close that server later this year.

Absolutely, I only managed level 30 on Mordor but the performance was great and much less rubberband-y (I play a yellow RK usually, so lag is always very noticable).

Just scanned those patch notes:
"Most Lothlorien items bartered with Lothlorien Silver Branches and Gold Leaves now cost 20-50% fewer of those items. Since players now experience Lothlorien for shorter periods than when it originally released, it can be hard to collect enough branches and leaves before Lothlorien is no longer relevant for their characters. This change should make many Lothlorien rewards more attainable for players experiencing this zone at level 60."
Well guess I'm a head back to go shopping using leaves as legal tenderThree deciduous forests to one ships peanut, if I remember correctly?
