Lord of the Rings Online is set to receive its latest update soon, with the release of Volume III - Allies of the King: Book One - Oath of the Rangers.
The official LotRO website reports:
"Return to Dol Guldur and fight in four Skirmishes with new 12-person mode in the shadow of the Necromancer's Tower. Plus, fire and madness waits in the Depths of Nrz Ghshu, an additional new Skirmish where you must rescue a brave fighter from flame and shadow. To help you meet the dangers ahead, you can now craft items up to level 65."
The fate of the King is in your hands, as well as that of the Free Peoples of Middle-Earth as you must race across the Northlands and rally the rangers to meet the coming challenge.
A ranger has headed into Nrz Ghshu to find his daughter who he believes is trapped within, and in this new Skirmish you must rescue the Ranger of the North.
For the new 12-person mode, four new skirmishes have been added.
"At the Necromancer's Gate, a powerful Olog-Hai thinks he's king of the hill, and your force must prove him wrong.
Before the Gate of the Ringwraith's Lair, creatures of nightmare seek to lay a deadly trap.
