Sauron has brought war to the Free People of Middle-earth. On the field of the Pelennor, at the gates of the great city of Minas Tirith, the battle of our time is being fought. Lothlorien, Thranduil's Kingdom, Dale and Erebor are also under siege.

Sauron will not stop until all of Middle-earth is his. Join him, or stand with those who are against him. The choice is yours!

The Two Towers MUD is a free Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game set entirely within Tolkien's world of Middle-earth, at the time of 'Lord of the Rings'. We have extensively re-created the lands of Middle-earth in a rich text environment, from Mithlond to Mordor and the lands of Harad beyond. With over 100,000 rooms and always growing, The Two Towers is a richly developed and highly interactive world. There are hundreds of quests, with rewards great and small, for you to discover.

The Two Towers has an active community of players from around the world who come together to play online. Players join together to create guilds, raid enemy lands, and more.

Online continuously since 1994, The Two Towers is one of the longest running multiplayer games on the internet and is maintained by a staff of hardworking volunteers who love Tolkien and multiplayer gaming.

Recent T2T Updates

Below is a list of the most recent 20 updates made on The Two Towers by our dedicated volunteer coders.

DateUpdaterUpdate Text
12/20/24Ossethe north gate of Adornas now has a hitching post for those who do not want to lead their mounts into town.
12/19/24OsseThe roads, fields, forests and wilds of West Arda have undergone some changes to the creatures that inhabit them. You will notice fewer riders (and gossipers) on the roads and plains, as well as larger numbers of wildlife spread about, particularly in areas that previously may have been rather uninhabited. Also, it seems some hobbit farmers have begun allowing their sheep to graze on the Shire Plains, and some new varieties of squirrel have been seen in the woods and forests. Also the rangers and bounders, after long effort, have managed to drive most of the more dangerous denizens (such as wolves) further from the settled areas.
12/15/24OsseThe "Bree: Postal Delivery" quest can now be done a single time by higher level players, if they have never done it before.
12/15/24OsseThe town of Stock in the Shire can now be entered once by players over level 9 who have never done the Stock: Backpack quest.
12/15/24OsseThe "Havens: Lost Ring" quest in the Grey Havens sewers can now be done a single time by higher level players, if they have never done it before.
12/14/24OsseThe "Blue Mtns: Simon's Crest" quest can now be done a single time by higher level players, if they have never done it before.
12/14/24OsseThe "Belegost: The Soapstone" quest can now be done once by characters of any level, after which the level>5 block will be enforced.
12/14/24OsseThe Adornas: Quarry Pick quest can now be done once by players of any level who have not previously done it. After that one time the level block will once again be in effect.
12/14/24OsseThe Bandit Quest in Bree can now be done a single time by higher level players, if they have never done it before.
12/14/24OsseAs of the next reboot, the Goblin Scouts riding Vicious Wolves, who have long been rather lost and far from home in the Tower Hills west of the Shire, will make their way to the Rocky Foothills of the Misty Mountains where they originally belonged. The long journey has been hard on them, however, and left them somewhat weaker than they were before.
12/14/24OsseDana the Adornas shopkeeper has been inspired by Brand in Bree in regards to supplying shortbows for young archers, and has added them to her regular stock.
12/09/24VildoranWhen trying to wield a potential dual-wieldable weapon while wearing a large shield, you will now switch to wielding that weapon instead of receiving a failure.
12/06/24OsseSeveral shopkeepers in West Arda (in Bree, Rivendell and Belegost) have seen fit to add basic bows to their standard stocked inventory, much to the delight of young archers. Also, Brand and Glimdan now will offer these bows as a reward option to young adventurers who help them with a problem in their cellars.
12/06/24OsseDue to the recent seismic activity in the Grey Mountains aforementioned, Gwaihir's giant eagles have had to shift their first landing point slightly eastward when bearing riders.
12/06/24OsseResidents of Framsburg have reported feeling the rumblings of a major earthquake to their north last night; first reports indicate that the seismic activity has caused a change to the landscape, and that the Anduin and Forest Rivers now share a small but navigable connection through a valley of the Grey Mountains.
11/25/24VildoranIt's now possible to wear two items for the 'wrist' armour slot.
11/25/24VildoranIt's now possible to specify which weapon you'd like to backstab with when dual-wielding.
11/14/24LungorthinThe 'moo' emote has been corrected, and the non-targeted version of the emote has been updated.
11/12/24LungorthinThe necromancers of Asturasartes have tired of losing students to the treacherous swamps surrounding their school. For this reason they have extended the swamp's boardwalk to reach them, making 'travelto' possible between Asturasartes and the surrounding towns.
11/08/24LungorthinBree signpost is now actually a signpost. It has also had a minor face lift.
