How large is the map in LOTRO?
Simply, how many square miles/kilometers does the lotro map occupy? What if all of the expansions are included?
Best Answer
No solid proof, but found 2-3 sites that list it as being 30,000miles/squared.

That seems to be very big an estimate. For comparison, that is 4.5x the size of Russia, the biggest country in the world. Its almost 8 times the size of the US and Canada
If my calculations are good, that would mean the LOTRO's map is about half the size of the whole earth's inhabitable area.

Answer 2
I calculated the playable map size in this video of mine:
The size in mid-2021 (without the latest expansion, Fate of Gundabad) was around 376 km².
Feel free to peer-review my method.
Also, the upper bound for the map size in LotRO, should they use 100% of the (as of now) available space, would be around 1677 km² per Region, so now 1677 x 5 = 8385 km²
