What happens if nobody with a ring is on? Like if they all end up on people who quit playing?
What's the difference between the servers? Isn't Mordor just a bigger and badder version of Angmar anyway?
Why'd they have to put this out the same time as Teek? Damn it all.
What's the unlock cadence?
Would I be better off playing this or resuming my level 33 character on an existing server where I was given like a zillion money/stuff and have all the expansions already and could play through them as quick as I want, in theory? (Unsure how soloable the game is as it goes on)
Every year I pop on here wanting to get back into this game and never do. I would this time, almost guaranteed, if not for Teek.

I get a hankering to try to play many of these games again then I come back these threads and the learning curve and these kinds of posts just bounce me off. I haven't been able to play anything since the hurricane and our week without power, looking for something to light the spark again.

Don't know the answers to most of these questions. Sorry lol.
As far as soloable, the game is VERY soloable at this point.

I think the whole Nazgul and 10 rings thing will be pretty interesting. I will probably start a character on one of those servers just to check it out.
As for playing the game normally, I am on the Gladden server and have no plans to leave it anytime soon. This is one of those games where you have thousands of achievements to make, so you end up having a large investment in one server if you have been there a long time. My main is a level 109 Champion, and I am in Mordor right now.

I’m about a week in now and I gotta say, I’m enjoying my time back with this so far. Had to create a brand new account but I’ve already VIP’d.

Ill give them this, its amazing how much content they still pump out over the years, and trying new things liek this is cool. Gimmicky and I dont see anyone playing these servers past 4 months, but cool.
Why can no other studios support shit in modern time, yet 17 year old mild success games are thriving

It does, but it doesn't affect ancillary text, so tooltips/various windows and other areas outside of the main UI frames. The problem is everything is so wordy it's impossible to tell what is going on.
You can set it to a lower resolution and then upscale it in a few ways, but the problem I have is with a UW monitor, there's no lower resolution with the same aspect ratio as native, so it won't work for me. If you have a generic 4k monitor you can upscale 1080p and read everything though.

I tried to play this again about 6 months ago and had the worst performance for some reason. I played this back in era and did not really have any performance issues, but there was some sort of hitching or lag that I could not get away from.
I'd pull a few mobs, and then the screen would literally freeze for 2secs or so, nothing whatsoever moving, but when it would stop lagging, it would fire off all of my abilities. This would happen about every 2 to 3 mobs....so I just deleted the game.
Think I played this back when a 480 was a top of the line card, and now have a 4090 and suffered more performance issues that I did with a super old card back in the day.
