Despite Massive Issues With Previous Transfers, The Lord Of The Rings Online Will Add More 64-Bit Servers
EU gets Grond and the US gets Sting, and I'm not sure which server name I like more.
Look, the most recent launch of 64-bit servers in F2P MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online didn't initially go all that well. Daybreak Games and Standing Stone Games ended up having to sort out issues for over a week as transfers were enabled, disabled, suspended, and reactivated multiple times.
If you're on the EU side of the pond, you're getting your next 64-bit server tomorrow, April 9th. Grond, the battering ram with the wolf-like head used on the gate at Minas Tirith, is a pretty boss name for a server. Those of us in the US are getting our own additional server in the future...but we'll have to wait for the date on that one. It's name, Sting, is also awesome and I'm sure it needs no introduction for most Lord of the Rings fans.
Just like the last round of transfers, EU VIP members get priority access tomorrow at 2 PM Eastern and all other players gain access an hour later at 3 PM. All housing plots will be up for grabs when the VIPs start their transfers. Remember, all of these times are subject to change should there be issues...again.
