This patch will update clients from Book 10 to Book 11. New players will still need to go through the normal patching process - this patch will only work for those whose clients are current as of today (October 19). It will not work for Roheryn.

The downloadable patch means you can download it and patch your client before the update goes live on the servers, saving you time when they come back up. It also means you can download the patch on a computer that you don't have LOTRO installed on (i.e. your work computer), transfer the patch to a disk or device, and then run it on the computer with a LOTRO client to update it.

The downloadable patch is approximately ~900mb. Once you've downloaded and installed it, your client will only need to apply the patch when the servers open with Book 11.
