Lord of the Rings Online Confirms Public 64-Bit Server Transfer Details, Cut-Off Date
Public 64-bit server worlds for Lord of the Rings Online are opening soon, and Standing Stone Games wants you to be ready to join the move. In a new post, the devs outline in more definite, written, and brief terms what players need to know for the upcoming move, including a cut-off date and asset transfer details.

That also means you know when you need to get back into your account by to get in on this free transfer, so mark your calendars (for sooner, preferably).
At another unspecified date, devs will open transfers for characters from defunct game worlds, though details are sparse on that for now.
The post also does a lot of preparatory detailing for the great migration. It gets into how to do a Character Transfer, and thankfully it’s via the Lord of the Rings Online launcher, so no particularly intensive installation is
