Of Special Note:


Siege of Mirkwood arrives on the Legendary Worlds!


Join the elves of Lothlórien in war against Sauron among the ancient ruins, spider-haunted canyons, and foul bogs of Mirkwood. In the shadow of Dol Guldur, the enemy waits—and so does glory, for those strong enough to take it. Experience the entire Siege of Mirkwood expansion on Anor and Ithil! Click here to learn more about our Legendary Worlds. Includes more than 150 quests, a level cap increase to 65, new end-game repeatable questing for Virtue XP (Legendary Worlds only), and more! 


News and Notes:
