Echoes of Angmar:About

Echoes of Angmar is a private server for the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) Lord of The Rings Online:Shadows of Angmar. The team behind the project aims to recreate the "Vanilla" LOTRO experience, i.e., the game as it existed before any expansions were released.

Overview

The developers are committed to meticulous accuracy in recreating the Vanilla LOTRO (Lord of the Rings Online) experience, ranging from gameplay mechanics to the social environment. Their objective is to closely mirror the state of LOTRO during the time of the Book 11 patch, which was released in October 2007. This patch represents the version that includes all key content—particularly Annúminas and The Rift of Nûrz Ghâshu,while still predating many significant landscape alterations and revisions, such as the revamp of Angmar, changes to the Old Forest map, and more.

Project status

The server is presently undergoing active development and is preparing for a second round of closed beta testing subsequent to its temporary shutdown. The current information suggests that at least one more closed beta phase will be conducted before transitioning back to public testing. However, at this juncture, we do not have specific dates for the commencement of the next closed beta or the official release of the server.
