The Legendary server for Lord of the Rings Online now has a name: Anor. In addition, the team revealed that the start time for the “vanilla” LOTRO server will be on Thursday, November 8th at 9:00 am Pacific / 12:00 pm Eastern!
During Blizzcon the heroes team not only announced a brand-new hero who is the firist hero to come directly from the Nexus, but they also had more about character Role Updates, Boosts changes, Armor changes, and the updates they’ve been working on for both Sylvanas and Stiches.

Blizzcon has come and gone now for 2018 and while we are usually celebrating the awesomeness that is Blizzard, this year turned out a bit different.
