BFME Online
The Battle for Middle-earth community multiplayer server
BFME Online brings back online multiplayer for all three Battle for Middle-earth titles affected by the GameSpy shutdown — completely free, community-run, and maintained by The C&C:Online team.
Community Powered
BFME Online is made and managed by the community. Log in and fight for the fate of Middle-earth just like you could when GameSpy's servers were still running.
Three Games, One Account
Your BFME Online Captain ID works across BFME I, BFME II, and Rise of the Witch-king. (Note: C&C:Online and BFME Online are the same service and share accounts across each other.)
Free to Play
Playing on our servers is completely free. Donations are always welcome — all proceeds go directly to server costs and infrastructure improvements.
