Hail to the Valar Guild as we celebrate our 29th Anniversary!
Prior to September 2026, per the Games Site roster, there were 161 members playing 14 games.
Of those 161 members:
Additionally:
On September 13th, 2026, the Games Site Mass-Update letter was sent out, requesting all members to send in their most up-to-date gaming information by September 30th. Only members listed as active on the Membership Page, and having an e-mail on file with us, were sent the GSMU e-mail. This year, that total was 44 (not counting myself). Of those, 2 were undeliverable (down one from last year) and 11 responded (again, not counting myself). To those who responded, thank you.
A further 13 members' gaming information was gleaned from Guild Branch activity. In Lord of the Rings Online, gleanings were taken from our official servers Peregrin and Glamdring. There was no new information to glean from World of Warcraft branches this year. As with previous years, any activity within 90 days was counted as recent activity.
Once all sources accessible were verified for recent activity, the Games Site roster was updated to reflect current gaming information.
As of October 11th, 2025, the Valar Guild Games Site now reflects a total of 161 members playing 13 games (down one from last year).
Of those 161 members:
Lord of the Rings Online remains our most played game with 21 members, up 5 from the previous year.
Additionally:
This concludes the State of Valar Gaming for 2026. As always, please check over your gaming information and make sure it is correct. If you didn't respond to the GSMU, or for some reason you didn't receive an e-mail, you can still send in your gaming information. Updates are welcome any time during the year.
Happy 29th Anniversary!
