hello, is legendary servers the same as classic?

[Delaborga]

i LOVED lotro back in the days , when it was only a few expansions , the first 2-3 prolly, everything felt hard and worth doing, is this something new or is it like wow classic?

Legendary Servers are just "Progression Servers". They offer the same experience as the Main Game. They just have only up to certain Content available then X amount of months later more Content is unlocked to be played.

Angmar & Mordor, the latest 2 Legendary Servers, do offer a few different things such as 64-bit Servers (a first for LOTRO and noticeably better performance) and the "Veil of the Nine Event" where Lesser Wraiths spawn in Landscape & at times the Nazgul will also appear for players to fight them.

Which for X amount of people Angmar & Mordor for the "better Performance & fighting Wraiths" is worth it.

Granted not without issues. Fighting the Nazgul for example has had "too many Players showing up" and causing various issues with the fights.

Oof, with no quest guidance? Was acceptable back in the day because we didn't know any better but not anymore. Questie is one of the most popular WoW Classic addons for a reason and LOTRO doesn't have the addon capabilities that WoW does.

I would be interested in trying out all the class balance and landscape difficulty of the vanilla version though.

Morrowind/classic MMO style ftw. Forcing you to read the quest and not just "go to colored zone and kill mob with special icon over head"

LotRO Legendary servers are just 'Fresh Start' servers.

It helps massively in terms of social. It was quite amazing back in the day. Yes ofcourse if you give people easier access to things they're going to use it. But god i miss that time.

I mainly miss grouping with random people because there was no quest markers on the map and you had barely enough morale and dps to survive 2+ mobs. Exploration was mysterious and felt rewarding. Now you can solo basically anything on the landscape solo and nobody groups unless its for instances.

Sadly, so true. The landscape/overworld just isn't dangerous anymore. It barely even feels like a journey to reach level cap. Granted what lotro has going for it is it's story so it's something, but still. You don't stick around areas for that long and as you said it's all easy.

Just chiming in that its more a progression series that starts at the 50 cap with a little twist of adding in the ring wraiths and their goons as overworld mobs and bosses and can technically temporarily receive one of the rings. We have Mariners and Birding and receive the same "content" updates or changes so far.

I'd say the only thing that makes it seem empty is power leveling solo with skirmishes. Otherwise, at mid twenties and mid thirties, i still see 50+ unique characters in the questing zones within an hour or so, and probably could quadruple that just standing at any primary quest giver. People are playing and having fun and being fairly social so far.

Does it not also have 64 bit (faster) technology?

[Kormach]

Yes, Angmar and Mordor are both 64 bit.
