Detailed LotRO maps document a year of new content
Filed under: Fantasy, Lord of the Rings Online, Maps, Academic, Education
As a testament to this, the wonderful fan site Visions of the Ring has compiled a "before" and "after" set of maps showing the areas we had available a year ago versus the areas we have to explore now. You'll notice the addition of Forochel, Eregion, the Mines, Lothlorien and more. These maps are taken and compiled from the overhead radar map, so the detail is all there. While you're at the site, be sure to check out the Interactive Horse Routes Flash Map, the Homesteads Flash Maps and the Speculated Expansions Flash Map, which is said to be updated for the new year's expanded areas very soon.

That's crazy how accurate the developers made the world with the actual book maps.

I don't think they've updated the map since the middle of the year, unfortunately. Unless I'm missing something.

Nevermind, I was just referring to the speculation map.

The incredible thing about it is, they didn't just add land to add land. Evendim and Forochel all have their own cultures, lands, and languages. The amount of quests in both areas is staggering. Evendim even has a land control element to get to its instances. And Eregion was a free content update that landed the same day as Moria. Its large enough to get you to 54 before you even step foot in Moria, astoundingly massive.
