While I never thought this would ever happen, they are actually doing it. Available to VIP and Lifetime Members, this November they are opening Legendary Servers. What does this mean?
Server where level cap is 50 and focuses on progression of story to Angmar
No legendary weapons until Moria is brought to the server
New content will be given every 4 months, unlocking new areas a little bit at a time
This means the game can now be enjoyed as it was played at the beginning. Crafted gear and weapons, Lvl 50 dungeons (which there was a TON of Lvl 50 stuff back in the day), and a chance for those who reminisce about the "old days" be able to find groups for their favorite classic dungeons, and an excuse to uncover the story in a slow and steady manner - instead of a race to Mordor.
I'm very interested in this, as my most memorable times in LOTRO were with Shadows of Angmar and Moria. I may have to actually make a new character on this legendary server...
