An irrepressible dark power has been growing, seeping, and bring the war to every inch of Middle-earth. From Minas Tirith to Mount Doom, each faction is desperate to seize control over the One Ring and take dominion over Middle-earth once and for all.

One Ring to Rule Them All.

The War of the Ring has reignited!

- Live Your War of the Ring

The One Ring has resurfaced in the deserted castle of Dol Guldur. It bestows unrivaled power to dominate Middle-earth on its bearer, luring peoples from all factions into a great war.

- Build A Fortified Settlement

Your settlement infrastructure dictates the efficacy of your strategies. Each building functions uniquely, and your power grows with the development of your settlement. Get well prepared for incoming warfares.

- Assemble Formidable Armies

From spearmen, archers, and knights to marvellous creatures and dreadful beasts—all forces must be mustered before the warfare is waged. Victory will be yours if your strategy is sound and your forces are mighty.

- Form Your Fellowship

As a Steward of Middle-earth, you must step into a vast world and take control by developing your settlement, expanding your territory and founding your own Fellowship. Grand challenges await.

- Expand Factional Territories

Throughout the season, your power enhances by building expeditionary forces, expanding land tiles, collecting valuable resources, and repelling the enemies. The experience and strength you gained during your conquest from war would help you get through any unexpected obstacles.

- Explore Middle-earth’s Wonders

From the lofty majesty of Minas Tirith to the brutish terror of Barad-dûr, experience a re-creation of Middle-earth that places you on the ground in the expansive world created by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Ratings and reviews

Game is great the interactions and mechanics alone make it seem worth playing. The reason you will not want to play is the current zerg issue in game. You will find yourself on the losing side every season due to one simple fact. There is always one faction who has all the active players who are on 24/7. Making it impossible to progress, learn and let alone play the game. Seasons also last several months and you are not able to end early, so you are stuck on a dying server until the season ends.

Can't say there are any bugs, but doesn't seem like a game that has much to do. Edit, game quickly turned for the worse as it has no balance. And suddenly you turn the game on to realize you are surrounded by enemies and get destroyed easily as they are more than 2x your lvl. I guess elves were king on my server, and can take out the rest of the "powers" with ease.

The barrier of entry for this game is really high, a lot that could be optimized. Confusing menus, a railroaded, boring/lengthy tutorial. And then they make you sign your life away with logins/permissions before you've even started playing the game! UI and menus need a lot of work. Finally, having been on a losing faction, I cannot describe how utterly crushed I was to lose. I will not be returning to the game anytime soon.
