Lord of the Rings Online with first impressions from the expansion “Legacy of Morgoth”

It’s time for our MeinMMO format “MMORPG news in two minutes”. We’ll summarize the most important news about the best genre in the world. Look forward to creative homes from GW2, the open beta of New World Aeternum, the start of the first season of WoW: The War Within and much more.

The highlights of the week:

What else happened? Season 1 of WoW: The War Within has started and that brings not only a new raid instance, rated PvP and Mythic Plus dungeons. Brann Bronzebeard is now harder to level – players are angry and anyone who wants to get the best possible equipment from the depths has to pay close attention. There was also trouble with the scaling of the difficulty level of the depths.

Here is the trailer for the new expansion of Black Desert:

This is what happened with the big MMORPGs:

  • WoW might have more players than ever before, but not thanks to The War Within.
  • The Earthen race from WoW: The War Within has received a new racial skill via a hotfix.
  • Shortly before the start of the World First race in the first raid of WoW: The War Within, several professional players received a ban lasting several days.
  • A long-held dream is finally coming true. You will soon become Sylvanas Windrunner in World of Warcraft and can pay homage to the Banshee Queen.
  • Since A Realm Reborn, the Final Fantasy XIV community has been arguing about whether dungeons are too difficult, too easy, or too boring. The dungeons in the new Dawntrail expansion also received rather negative feedback at the beginning. Now, says the boss, players think they are just right.
  • FFXIV again: In the Square MMORPG there is a level 70 boss that cannot be defeated alone, even with a character at maximum level 100 with the best equipment. One persistent player took on the challenge and managed to do it after over 200 hours of play.
  • Update 44 of The Elder Scrolls Online has been released for PC, with the return of the first tutorial, new companions, and fresh Battleground content. Additionally, the Undaunted Celebration will be taking place in Tamriel starting September 12, 2024 (via elderscrollsonline.com).
  • The new content update for Lost Ark was released on September 11, 2024 and brought, among other things, the Behemoth raid for 16 players to the servers.
  • In Guild Wars 2, numerous players are now showing how powerful the home feature is. For example, Tyria heroes have built the Eye of Sauron, a hobbit mansion, a Greek temple and much more (via massivelyop.com).
