It feels like just yesterday we were delving into the depths of The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria, and here we are gearing up for a fresh update. As January wraps up, the development team has diligently worked on rolling out dedicated servers.
The alpha version of these dedicated servers was quite an adventure. Initially, the plan was to distribute 100 keys, but your enthusiasm led us to hand out nearly a thousand. Watching our Discord channel #ds-chat was a real treat! A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who participated in testing. Your feedback about bugs and crashes helped shape this update significantly.
Keep your eyes peeled for February when this update is expected to go live. For now, let’s take a look at some key features coming your way:
