For starters, August 31st free transfer from 32 bit worlds, after that they will become dark worlds. With this change coming, the kinship on the legendary server Treebeard has been disbanded. Also, the old forums are going away, and have been in a read-only state for a few years. New stuff to the game right now, the midsummer festival is going on right now with new quests in Futherholm. Futherholm is a new island off the coast of Umbar. Minas Tirith midsummer is still around. The midsummer festival runs through July 7th. Be on the lookout for some group stuff for the kinship to run in the near future.
