Lord of the Rings Online: Crafting Quest Updates and Beta News

Fans of Lord of the Rings Online who were eagerly awaiting today’s server stress test on the new Mordor server will have to wait a little longer. The highly anticipated event, which was set to test the capabilities of the European-located server by introducing the new Ringwraith bosses, has been postponed due to a build issue.

Delay in Mordor Server Stress Test

The original plan was to open the Mordor server on Monday, followed by a stress test designed to challenge the server’s capabilities by spawning Ringwraiths—an open-world boss content. Unfortunately, the Standing Stone Games (SSG) team released a statement last night announcing the delay.

“Unfortunately, a build issue is preventing us from opening Mordor tonight, and our stress test planned for 3 PM Eastern tomorrow is delayed. We will have more info on timing when we can. Mordor could open with a stress test late tomorrow afternoon Eastern.”
