Lord of the Rings Online launches November update

The Lord of the Rings Online has launched its November update, making the first major update since it went free to play.

The new update adds a lot for free players, opening up all the expansion areas for free (quest packs still cost, but epic quests can still be completed) and raising the free level cap to 65.

In addition, the dwarf and elf starting area has been redesigned, as has the vault and crafting UI. Lore-masters and Rune-keepers have also been improved in a few ways.

LOTRO is published by Turbine, which also publishes Dungeons and Dragons Online.
