How to Play The Lord of the Rings Online With Friends

Short answer

PlayBound gets you and your friends into The Lord of the Rings Online together — matching up the party and launching the game for everyone at once. Multiplayer itself, once you're in, runs entirely through The Lord of the Rings Online's own service.

How PlayBound connects youParty presence and launch only — multiplayer is the game's own service

Step by step

  1. 1Open PlayBound and create or join a party.
  2. 2Add The Lord of the Rings Online as the party's game and launch together.
  3. 3From here, multiplayer runs through The Lord of the Rings Online's own service — invite friends, join lobbies, and matchmake the normal way.

What PlayBound does and doesn't do here

PlayBound helps you find your friends, form a party, and launch The Lord of the Rings Online together in one click. It doesn't run The Lord of the Rings Online's matchmaking, lobbies, or game servers — that stays exactly as The Lord of the Rings Online built it, unmodified. If something about multiplayer itself isn't working, that's a The Lord of the Rings Online question, not a PlayBound one.
