I have multiple LOTRO accounts on my master account. What happens to me?
Each individual eligible account will have the appropriate gifts applied to it.

I have an old account but I haven't been playing on it. Will I still receive gifts?
All eligible Premium and VIP accounts will receive anniversary gifts, advancing by one year even if the accounts have been inactive, as long as you login during the Anniversary period (4/21/2021 - 3/31/2022). You will receive the gift that corresponds to the year after the last gift you received, so if you received a 13th Anniversary Gift last year you will get a 14th Anniversary Gift this year.

Do I have to log in to the game during the Anniversary period to receive my gifts?
Yes. You will receive your gifts upon login as long as it is within the Anniversary period. 

How do I receive my gifts?
Your gifts will appear automatically in your inventory upon login, provided there is enough open space available. If you do not have enough space, the remaining gifts will appear upon the next login when enough space is open. Portrait frames will be automatically applied to your characters upon receipt if they are Year 8 and prior; Year 9 and after require opening the gift item, which puts the Portrait Frame into your inventory.
