Legendary Server Plan Revealed

The folks at SSG have revealed their plans for the rest of the life of the Legendary VIP servers (Angmar and Mordor).

We have been receiving extensive feedback from the community following our recent announcement about our release schedule for our Legendary Worlds of Angmar and Mordor. We are making some adjustments to the schedule to give the level 130 cap more time, and we are giving players additional time to transfer from the server for free by enabling transfers earlier in the schedule. Please note that all dates are tentative and will align to game updates released around their listed time. The new schedule is:

  • September 9th, 2026: Mordor and Northern Mirkwood, level cap 115, with the 7th through 9th Ringwraiths available
  • November 11th, 2026: Grey Mountains and the Vales of Anduin, level cap 120, all nine Ringwraiths available. Free transfers from Angmar and Mordor begin.
  • December 16th, 2026: Minas Morgul, War of Three Peaks, Blood of Azog, level cap 130, all nine Ringwraiths available.
  • February 10th, 2027: Gundabad and King’s Gondor East, level cap 140, all nine Ringwraiths available

The February update will be the final update for the Angmar and Mordor Legendary Worlds. Free transfers will continue through March 30th, 2027. We will have more information about transfers soon, but you can expect the transfer process to be similar to other transfers from Legendary Worlds in the past.

Cordovan also clarified on Discord/Lord of the Rings Online/Angmar that it is his understanding that when they release the last three Nazgûl, those will be the only Nazgûl available at that cap.

Another interesting statement was made on the LOTRO Forums:

Does this mean we can expect 120 to be the last bit of ‘new rewards currently exclusive to this event (Veil of the Nine)’ to be added since that’s when transfers out are being enabled?

Or will there be new ‘Gundabad+Kings Gondor East / 140’ rewards added? This is the last bit of information I need to do my planning / $ budgeting properly.

There has been development chat about adding some kind of legendary reward at 140, but the work has not been done and it isn’t yet clear whether it will be able to be. So I believe the current answer is we want to, we’ll see.

Sounds like they are ‘trying’ to make some rewards for the end of the server, but currently it looks like it might not happen in time. There might be a reason to stay until the end (besides the Wandering Stars party on Angmar, heyyyyyy!) or there might not.

We still have some Legendary roads to travel, but the journey is getting shorter every day. See you in Middle-earth.
