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.

DateUpdaterUpdate Text
06/05/26VildoranMoria Depths: The Rescue Shila quest will no longer fail if barely any damage has been done to the cultists.
06/02/26VildoranA serious bug with the defend ability has been fixed. Previously, when shielding someone that was defending, it was possible to still take damage from the hit prior to it being blocked.
05/31/26VildoranMoria Depths: It's no longer possible to make the sniffer from the Betrayal quest busy.
05/31/26VildoranIt's no longer possible to make Isigel busy.
05/30/26VildoranBeware, a bug with Colonel Milentije has been fixed. If you're on his naughty list he's going to be able to do a better job at hunting you down.
05/29/26VildoranThe bash and defend abilities can no longer be used at the same time.
05/28/26VildoranAfter some feedback and internal deliberation, we've decided to revert part of the last change to Rogues. A failed/noticed theft will no longer start combat.
05/26/26VildoranIt's now possible for a rider to bring a mount (of sufficient quality/level) into the Crimson Canyon.
05/25/26VildoranFor the condition command, the ability to see finer-grained ranges (e.g., 'near-mint', 'great') is now based on the blacksmithing skill.
05/25/26LungorthinThe Dragon-helm of Dor-lomin now grants its full skill buffs to warriors, matching its behavior for other professions. Additionally, wearing the helm now unlocks custom headbutt emotes.
05/25/26VildoranIt is now possible to ride a mount into the great hall in Corsair Keep.
05/25/26VildoranIt is now possible to ride a mount into Gothmog's tent.

05/25/26LungorthinForging a sword is now based on the blacksmithing skill. The ambiguous 'hidden' forging skill has been removed from the game and no longer impacts forged weapons. The overall damage for forged swords has been reduced slightly, and they are now most useful for the person who forged it. Additionally, the randomness previously accounted for in the final outcome of forged weapons has been removed.
05/25/26LungorthinThe repair ability is now available as a general ability, usable by all professions, tied to the blacksmithing skill.

05/25/26LungorthinThe investigate command is now based on a player's awareness skill.
05/25/26LungorthinThe intuition skill has been replaced by a new skill, blacksmithing. Several smiths around Arda will now train you in this skill. Any points already trained in intuition have been automatically transferred over to the new blacksmithing skill.

05/25/26LungorthinThe capacity of a ranger's autoloading satchel has been significantly increased.
