The Gates have opened!

Moria has arrived on our Legendary servers Anor and Ithil! The level cap has increased to 60, and the Mines of Moria expansion is now available on the Legendary servers. Additionally, many of the items, armours, and other rewards in Moria have been updated to modern standards, and numerous new Deeds and awards have been added. Items in character inventories that were previously not usable until level 50 are now usable again, and Store items that were previously not visible to Anor and Ithil players until level 50 are now visible in the Store.
