FAQ
Q: Why isn't Gondor listed as an expansion in LOTRO? A: Because it was released in smaller content updates and quest packs rather than as a single traditional expansion, so it never got an official expansion label.
Q: What years did the Gondor content come out? A: From 2014 to 2017, an entire country's worth of content was added to the game during that period.
Q: Does this gap affect current players? A: Not really—it's just a quirk in the expansion timeline. The content is still in the game and can be played as part of the journey to Mordor.
