This is with a great pleasure that we can announce that Legend of the Rings is back online.
In a nutshell, Legend of the Rings is a PvE community server. This means there is no PvP. It is not possible to attack other players. The focus is set on fighting the "Environment", which means monsters, bosses, dungeons and more. It is a priority for us to provide a fast paced gameplay, such as fast ways to loot, fight and store your precious loot. The enhanced lootbag system and the moongate chamber are two examples illustrating this.
Crafting is also a priority for us. This is translated in new and improved systems, such as repairs and new craftables. The team is working on a new resource system, which adds a quality layer to harvested and crafted items. There is also going to be automated harvesters and crafting stations, such as extractors, processors and generators. More details about this all in a future news post, but we can't wait to release this crafting overhaul.
Legends of Aria in 2025 is also a certain part of uncertainty. Right now, a small team is trying to relaunch the game as Legends of Aria Eternal. Our team wanted to show support to the game, which we have always loved and cherished. So, that is the main reason Legend of the Rings is back online. Our efforts are set on fixing and improving core scripts, mods and plugins.
It was decided not to provide new maps and content linked to client modifications. [Outlands], [Old Celador] and [Perilous] maps are now gone from our production server. Our team has no control on LoA Client, so we'll work on version 1.4.1.1, which you can download from this website. This lets us enough room to plan long term development for systems that were being worked on in 2019 : e.g. Necromancy, which will be the subject of another future news post.
Welcome back ! Rest reassured that you can play safely here on Legend of the Rings, as long as account management is open to public on LoA official website : https://legendsofaria.com Depending on what is decided there, we'll provide support to LoA and a safe haven on our community server.
