This game deservers a Remaster

[Insanitor]

Seriously, even 10-15 years later, this game is still solid. Honestly, with some Graphical udates, User Interface updates and minor QoL updates, this game could easily attrach a huge following.

[Harvain]

They are planning all those things and what was called "LOTRO Remastered" is still ongoing by the SSG LOTRO Team.

It however is a "Long Term" Project and they'll roll things out as they are ready rather than "Larger Updates".

There is no ETA on User Interface, Launcher, Two-Factor Authentication, Visual Updates for Older Content, and so on.

[Spotter]

It already has a HUGE following. But it will lose more of them, if Graphics are updated as you wish. Because a lot of those followers computers won't be able to run the New Graphics Version.

The game has had those updates, but it is ongoing process.

Graphics will never be updated to compete with any Modern Games (Games that have come out the year of or within the last few years of the current given date).

The goal is to "Visually" update LOTRO but it'll still be using the same Graphics. The Art Style is what has always been changing.

Content and lore in LOTRO is incredible. Essentially unmatched. It will keep attracting a core audience for a while yet. Been playing for a long time (with breaks inbetween). I think this is how many play it.

Yes it does this game was totally amazing when it first came out everything was balanced from combat to loot and rewards and crafting . Monsters were happy because they didn t get killed with one shot , all the monsters were balanced fun to play and a challenge . Then people started moaning about how hard it was to kill monsters , people moaned in general about the game being tough although its a team game . As them game got sold on to different people and changed to please some of the players others left because it was getting so easy you could solo so much there wasn t much point in teaming up . Then instead of just paying for just the DLC s some company who bought it made paid areas and a store more people left so they added skirmishes . By now only hard core monster players hang around but most of the time solo monsters were easily slaughtered .
I came back to the game just for a look because new bits have been added . Well minstrels , Lore- masters , hunters and rune keepers are still Over to powerful .
Even with a remake I don t think the game will be as great as it was when it first came out .
Its still an ok game if you have never tryed it . I`m not a troll I do love the game .

wonder if they have kept an orig vers on the back shelf, would like to have played the orig to really see the diff in the vers over the years. Wished i had played the orig vers, kind of reminds me of playing the orig vers of WoW, was so much better in its orig form, rusty, crusty but you could get the orig idea of what the games orig intent was.

Only if it's a different company doing it, imo. Otherwise waiting to see what Amazon offers up.

Oh trust me, I'm not asking for UE5 Hyper Realistic graphics. Honestly that would ruin the game. But a small upgrade could do wonders :)

I agree that if the game was modernized and then advertised in culmination with a decent expansion drop, it would pull lots of people. What it needs more than anything is healthy investment.

[Tylearious]

the graphics are the main reason i just cant anymore i used to like playing as the monsters in the pvp area never really tried the other side but when i looked a few months ago and installed just ..... ew

I don't think the game needs a remaster - Amazon is already working on a modern conversion.
What the game needs is a modern upgrade of the user interface and 64 bit servers for all players. I would like to see a similar approach to WoW in terms of polishing the game.

UI Work is already happening but no ETA on UI Updates will begin rolling out.

64-bit Servers are getting more work with Angmar & Mordor and then they'll begin rolling out at some future date.

I just need an engine that would take advantage of my hardware. I personally love the look of the game as is.

For me game looks fine, except facial animations, horse eyes doesn't even blink , but game looks pretty good , but what looks bad is ui, i can't even see where i need to go looking at map
