Why was the MMO Lord of the Rings Online Down? I have played the MMO Lord of the Rings Online for many years. The game went down for a suspicious amount of time (almost 6 days!) for "server issues" just preceding Facebook and Instagram going down. It is just possible that LOTRO was heavily used for Deep State messaging during the end of Obama's reign. You can totally chat anonymously with either your kinship fellows or just use a created chat channel. Again, very suspicious for an MMO to be down that long with repeated extensions of estimated downtime. Sure, the game has been down before, but the timing preceding Facebook and Instagram going down as well is weird.
