Public Event Schedule 2025

Are you planning to add transfers to the new servers between each season of the Reward Track? It is rather odd that there is a week between the end of Season 12 (currently having 28 days left) and Season 13 to be approximately set at 2/19. Or perhaps my curiosity is getting the best of me.

Will some form of "alternative" April Fools Day event be available on Angmar and Mordor, as they do not have Ettenmoors? (If I recall, this is a chicken versus creeps thing, and you have to get your level 1 chicken somewhere in Ettenmoors)

I noticed this as well, and asked questions in a separate thread. I am not so sure they have thought about reward track and transfers. I'm now wondering that if you stay on a 32-bit world and fill the reward track quickly, get the nice things you want and THEN transfer..... whether you basically can get things twice.

I'm already contemplating leaving behind three characters on the 32-bit world that have not done the last few expansion pack quests or are just leveling up....., and just doing the whole reward track until it is full, and then transferring with all my reward boxes. Then once more in the summer, and once more in the fall.

This happened when anor closed, I did a chunk of the reward track on anor, transferred to Landy, and then was able to repeat the track there.

The reward track is not account wide, but server wide.

Seeing as there is now a 1 week gap between the end of R12 to RT13, I believe the transfers will be prior to the start of RT13, 1 to 2 weeks before.

You could leave one toon prep'd for RT13 on the old server (I normally park mine at Moria entrance) and complete it on both, claim everything on the old server then transfer that last character.

I wonder what is the gift. It is ends in 2026 :unsure:
This happens every year. It means you get 2025's anniversary gifts so long as you log in sometime before the 2026 gifts are given out.

You get a different set of free gifts depending on how many years you've been a player of LOTRO 😊

No mention of a new expansion either yet, but there will be for both, they're entwined. To SSG/Cord I would like to say I very much appreciate this roadmap it really lets people plan their game and life accordingly.

Any dates when the "Temple of Utug-bûr" and the second raid come to bullroarer and live? I am missing those on the schedule.

I've only looked over the first 4 months and here are my questions so far:

1) The Temple of Utug-bur leading the charge deed ends on 3/17 but we don't have a date for the raid dropping? Given that's when the Leading the Charge Deed ends, I assume the raid will drop at the same time as the server moves? This seems like a lot. Like maybe too much at once.

2) The VIP Event Boost doesn't tell us what it is boosting. Exp I assume? I honestly can't remember. It would be nice if I didn't have to remember.

Transfers are separate from the Reward Track. The tracks simply do their thing regardless of transfers. Yes, however, transfers will be in the middle of stuff.

There is also a first-time-for-it thing happening with the Reward Track where we need to briefly extend the current track (I think?) to account for the actual release schedule, so the dates in the Public Event Schedule are correct.

No, this event is not possible on Angmar and Mordor. It's possible we could make a different event someday, but this was kind of a weird one-off from years and years ago.
So there will be no increases in the virtue cap in 2025?
Any increases to the Virtue Cap will be made outside of the Public Event Schedule.

In the coming weeks.

The release is around the same time as our server transfers, although we are planning to space it out a little bit to give raiders in particular some time to settle before it releases. It will, however, be a pretty busy time.

The VIP Event Boost lists its bonuses in the hover tooltip in-game.
