World Closures

 Good By Riddermark *sobs*. I love this server <3


A couple of weeks ago LotRO players found out that World Closures are definitely happening. Turbine decided to go from 29 servers down to 10. 5 US & 5 EU servers will remain open.




Well, long story short Crickhollow will remain open so my toons there are "safe" - I don't have to worry about them. Riddermark is closing.  That means I have to decide which server to transfer those toons to permanently.  The process will begin in a few weeks - time to make a decision.

I will most likely transfer to a US server - and my eye has been on Landroval for a long time now. I've often thought of creating toons there - if for nothing else - the Weatherstock festival which is held exclusively on Landroval. It's a yearly festival put on by LotRO players. And the reason I've had my eye on this server for years.

Landroval will remain an open server - I'm thinking of moving my  Riddermark toons here. I've heard great things about this server over the years.

Brandywine and Gladden will stay open - two very populated servers. I've only heard that Brandywine is very populated otherwise I really know nothing about it or Gladden.

Crickhollow will remain open - and I already have toons on that server.  It's a great server!


Arkenstone - I used to have toons on that server before I re-rolled my toons and condensed servers. Here is a post I made on the toons I had on Arkenstone at one time: Arkenstone (Final). I can say from experience that Arkenstone is a really good server to play on.

Basically I'm torn between Landroval and my old server Arkenstone.  It's getting close to time for me to make that decision - the server closings / mergers will begin fairly soon. I might create a couple of "dummy" toons on both servers to check them out before I make a blind decision to move my toons. Re-experience Arkenstone and check out Landroval for the first time.
