We have identified a potential issue in the forum system. As a precautionary measure we have disabled our forums while we investigate. We will bring the forums back online when we complete our work. We thank you for your patience.

Earlier today we received an unconfirmed tip that Turbine’s database for The Lord of the Rings Online had been breached. The tip pointed us to tech site Tweaker, which claims that the database for Turbine’s The Lord of the Rings Online had been compromised and was open to anonymous users. The forums for Turbine’s Dungeons & Dragons Online, Asheron’s Call and The Lord of the Rings Online have are currently down for maintenance. Whether or not this rumor has substance and or if it’s just coincidence is unknown at the moment.


Sounds like you may want to change your passwords, if this is true.

Got a fishing email pretending to be from Turbine today so someone at least got some emails though the fact I got it at DDOcast is interesting as we didn't use that email in our Turbine accounts so its unlikely it came from one of their databases.

Recently, we were made aware of an issue with the security of our LOTRO community web applications. Protecting player accounts is a top priority and we take any potential issues seriously. As a result, we closed all of our forums as we investigate the situation. We are continuing to investigate and the forums will not reopen until this work is complete.

As an additional precaution we recommend that all players change their passwords by visiting https://myaccount.turbine.com. Please remember to use unique, hard-to guess passwords that are not associated with other online services or sites, and always look for and report unusual activity in your account to Turbine customer support.

Thank you for your patience. We look forward to restoring all community features as soon as possible.

Please follow us on Twitter @DDOUnlimited or like us on Facebook to receive updates during the maintenance.

Please note that we will continue to perform maintenance on our community websites over the coming days and some features may be unavailable from time to time. Game services are not impacted and will continue to operate on a normal schedule.

Thank you for your patience!
