Setting an MMORPG in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth seems like a blessing and a curse: on the one hand, the meticulously constructed storylines and rich veins of lore; on the other, an ever-growing legion of critical fans who demand perfection. Mercifully, newcomers and long-time devotees alike should recognize this game as a cunningly crafted love letter to the acclaimed source material. The realistic bent of the art direction might not have the cartoony consistency of World of Warcraft, and ...

We haven’t covered LotRO much recently. There’s no dark reason for this, no sinister conspiracy – it’s just that this is an MMO that’s remarkably adept at keeping its head down and getting on with things. On the quiet, it’s accrued a massive and very happy audience. On the eve of its new expansion, it seems a good time to peer at what the game as a whole is like these days. ...   » Read Full Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar preview

Oct 18, 2007 There's a glut of fantasy-based MMOs out there, and more are on the way. But for every announcement we receive about a new MMO, it seems that there's another for one that's been delayed, gone free-to-play, or even cancelled. Are these signs of an imminent MMO bubble burst akin to the death of the dot com boom? Is there really room for so many new - and similar - titles for a genre that's known for sucking you in with its never ending content and making bank on monthly fees and ...   » Read Full Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar preview

Get bored of Tolkien? We'd Angmar heads in shame

So weve played the beta, weve chatted with the developers a few times, weve seen the films and weve had our junior-high English teacher read bits of The Hobbit out with a raspy voice and exaggerated hand gestures. But we still dont know what Angmar is, and were still not sure why its got shadows. “Thats where the Witch King rises from, the guy who leads the Nazgul,” explains Codemasters Ed Blincoe while slapping his forehead. “Thats where he started from - he was doing ...   » Read Full Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar preview

We could tell you about how you can play as a breakfast-loving hobbit or a Legolas-like ranger in The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar. We could gush over the games crisp graphics that makes World of Warcraft look like Diablo II. But even though immersing ourselves in a beautifully crafted world with Nazgûl and knights fills us with glee, thats not what grabbed our attention when we sat down with Jeff Anderson, President & CEO of developer, Turbine. Sure, LOTR Online has ...   » Read Full Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar preview

This latest stab at recreating the hallowed lands of Middle-earth doesn't mess around: from the very start you're dabbling in and around the much loved and extraordinarily well-known Fellowship storyline, spanning the lovingly recreated lands of Eriador. Be it clearing the path for Frodo and Sam with Boromir, or bumping into much-loved tree-hugger Tom Bombadil, you'll be thrust into your own personal story within the events of Middle-earth, without necessarily infringing on the adventures of ...   » Read Full Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar preview
