The upcoming level cap raise will bring Anor close to the game’s other servers, with the only expansion still missing being last year’s Fate of Gundabad, which has a level cap of 140. Developer Standing Stone Games recently introduced two new legendary servers alongside Anor–the fast-paced Shadowfax server, and more leisurely Treebeard server.
