The Lord of the Rings Online is receiving a fat update

If you’re a Lord of The Rings Online fan and you’ve been waiting for the second part of the Riders of Rohan instance cluster, boy will you be happy soon. This cluster will come packed with one six-man raids, four twelve-man raids, and new “In Their Absence” scaling – these instances will now scale appropriately from level 65-85. You wanted more content, you got it.

While there is no set release date yet, Warner Brother Entertainment says it is "coming soon." If you haven’t tried Lord of the Rings Online yet, remember it’s free to play so you’re good to go anytime.

The detailed information about the raids can be found below:

The Bells of Dale [6-Man]
Even as open war threatens Gondor and Rohan far to the south, allies of Mordor make their advance upon the Lonely Mountain. Travel north to the kingdom of Dale where the cruel Easterlings have already begun their assault. Help Brand ring the city bells and hold the line against enemy forces while the townsfolk begin their retreat to the safety of Erebor.

Road to the Lonely Mountain [12-Man Raid]
With the conflict in Dale now behind, you must protect the people of Dale on their flight to the Lonely Mountain. Seeking to prevent a length siege, the enemy will surely move to crush the exposed defenders before they reach the dwarven stronghold. Gather all your strength for the road to the mountain is long and the enemies are many!

The Fires of Smaug [12-Man Raid]
Safely inside the massive gates of Erebor, the men and dwarves of the north are prepared to withstand a long siege. However, scouts have reported the Easterlings constructing a large pyre near one of the mountain vents that billows with dark, noxious gas. Slay the Easterlings and destroy the pyre before the toxic smoke fills the mountain.

The Battle for Erebor [12-Man Raid]
After weeks of holding back the enemy siege, word reaches the defenders of the Lonely Mountain that the One Ring has been destroyed and the tide is turning in the south. Intent on bringing the siege to an end, the enemy's most powerful soldiers have issued a challenge to the finest defenders beneath the mountain. Become the champions of Erebor and slay the towering Olog-hai, driving the Easterlings from the north forever!
