Title: LOTRO Adds servers. Post by: Mrbloodworth on July 20, 2010, 12:59:13 PM Oddly for a dieing game :oh_i_see:, they are adding more servers for the FTP change. IIRCC, LOTRO has never closed a server.
Anyway, now is your chance to help them pick a name. (http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.php?t=345375) I don't vote for anything I can't pronounce. Title: Re: LOTRO Adds servers. Post by: Yegolev on July 20, 2010, 01:34:09 PM I voted for Crickhollow and was pleasantly surprised to find it is currently in second place. I almost went with Tookland to promote my "I :heart: Shire" propaganda, but Crickhollow is a better name.
Title: Re: LOTRO Adds servers. Post by: Ingmar on July 20, 2010, 01:39:45 PM I imagine their experience with DDO going free showed them they're going to need new servers when the rush of free players shows up.
Title: Re: LOTRO Adds servers. Post by: Yegolev on July 20, 2010, 01:42:07 PM Which is fine. I don't particularly want a noob-rush on Brandywine. I'm hoping more "resub" and less "I'm bored with MapleStory".
Title: Re: LOTRO Adds servers. Post by: caladein on July 20, 2010, 07:35:01 PM Yeah, as much as everyone goes "Brandywine is awesome!" I really really hate having tons of people in the starter areas.
I voted for Calembel, but the one winning right now, Riddermark is sensible. Title: Re: LOTRO Adds servers. Post by: Cheddar on July 20, 2010, 07:44:47 PM Tempting to start on a new server. I could make a TON of money and fast track to end game within 2-3 weeks, corner myself a couple markets.
Title: Re: LOTRO Adds servers. Post by: Hawkbit on July 21, 2010, 04:31:38 AM It's a shame I can't transfer my guardian to Brandywine to play in Riders. I'd gladly pay for it, but transfers are locked. I find it odd that they let me make new characters there, but can't transfer my established ones...
More servers are a good thing; I think this is going to get popular when free. Title: Re: LOTRO Adds servers.

I find it odd that they let me make new characters there, but can't transfer my established ones... Must be because of the upcoming change? Then again, Brandywine has always been the largest populated servers, so that could also be it. Maybe check after the change I guess. Title: Re: LOTRO Adds servers. Post by: Tarami on July 21, 2010, 06:45:23 AM I'm very tempted to pick my US-account back up. Since I no longer work 9-5, I might even be online when someone else is! :oh_i_see:
Title: Re: LOTRO Adds servers. Post by: ghost on July 30, 2010, 07:09:06 AM I have a suspicion that this is in expectation of the F2P explosion that they hope will occur like with DDO.
Title: Re: LOTRO Adds servers. Post by: Tannhauser on August 06, 2010, 07:22:30 PM I was just wondering if they would do this today! Arkenstone is pretty empty in the newbie lands, I do hope for an influx of mature gamers, but I did see some captain named "Depravity" earlier so Shape of Things To Come? :ye_gods:
Title: Re: LOTRO Adds servers. Post by: Yegolev on August 06, 2010, 08:16:32 PM Well, even LotRO is not immune to such things. The most recent name I noticed was Brucewillis riding past me in Angmar. Earlier I had seen a hobbit in Frerin's Court named Potbelliedpig. Favorite kinship name: It Hurts To Wipe.

Post by: Modern Angel on August 07, 2010, 05:25:29 AM You're worried about Depravity? Good god, that's just standard I'm a dark elf Legolas ranger fan wank. We have Rollback Smiley and Chronicus Sweetleaf.
