Mushroom hunting has begun in The Lord of the Rings Online

Standing Stone Games has released an update to its MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online, set in the Lord of the Rings universe. The patch improved the game to version 42.4 and offered quite a few changes, including preparation for the launch of 64-bit servers. According to the developers, this will allow users to have more characters on their accounts and organize more massive battles on the expanses of Middle-earth. The studio also reported on fixing some bugs.

64-bit LOTRO servers are not yet operational, but paid account holders have already been allowed to expand the list of available heroes: VIP has been expanded from seven to twelve, and premium - from five to ten slots. The developers also reported on the events: until February 19 will last "Battle of bad omens", participation in which will bring gamers cosmetic items from the set "Mushroom Hunter", which includes not only clothes, but also avatar, jewelry for a racehorse and a pet. The transition to a new level cap was also announced: for Mordor, for example, from April 30, it will be 65.

Items from Lothlorien, exchanged for silver branches and golden leaves, now cost 20-50% less. The reason for this is that the location is not as crowded now as it was during its launch. The change makes the process easier for those who visit the area at level 60. The list of less significant edits is extensive. It is worth noting that the stables keepers in Moria are now displayed on the radar and map, the balance in the Nirgambara dungeon has been equalized and Tul Zakan's bugs have been fixed, and medallions are now allowed to be exchanged for legendary item components.
