The eight year old MMORPG Lord of the Rings Online is shutting down 19 of its Worlds, leaving 10 Worlds across the United States and Europe to house the game's players.
If you have a character housed on any of the servers that shutting down, fear not! Characters on the affected Worlds will be saved and available to transfer to a remaining World without any charge – indefinitely.
According to the developers, this is how the transfer process will be:
We will begin the transfer process by opening the test world, Bullroarer, for character copy. We will then open transfers between the 10 remaining worlds. Then the worlds that are closing will be opened for transfer, a few at a time, in the order they are listed below. Please watch the website, forums, and launcher for announcements regarding timing.
*Note: Brandywine will be unavailable for incoming transfers for a time until population and load can be re-evaluated on new hardware.*
