There is news that makes you smile, especially when the MMORPG is a genre that we have loved for a long time. The information this time relates to The Lord of the Rings Online. Explanations.
The Lord of the Rings Online is an MMORPG that is now at least 15 years old, more precisely, the game opened its servers on April 24th, 2007. And the good news for the most loyal and diehards is that the game is still good at Life. In fact, the title just hit its highest player count on Steam in ten years.
A pinnacle of players for The Lord of the Rings
This may seem obviously ridiculous compared to a major AAA game of recent times, but we still notice the connection of 3755 players simultaneously. The game hadn’t had such a record on the Valve platform since 2012 when the game launched on Steam. Also note that the Steam community obviously doesn’t represent all gamers, but it’s a good indicator and a way to get a rough idea of a game’s success.
Several factors ?
This success can be explained by several factors. On the one hand, the fifteenth anniversary update that brings a little freshness to the game, on the other hand, the entire adventure is free except for the Helm’s Deep content. Finally, we can note a Lord of the Rings effect, in the sense that there has been a renewed interest in Tolkien’s universe for some time, thanks in particular to the marketing surrounding the Amazon series.
This is definitely good news for the game, which is a good way to immerse yourself in this universe alongside books and films on the subject.
