Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria server worlds typically set their world and server settings at world generation. By downloading the save locally and using console commands, players can adjust these settings in existing worlds before uploading them back to the server. This allows players to explore different difficulty options or presets without starting from scratch, and to tailor specific settings if they find certain aspects of the game too challenging.
