LotRO Siege of Mirkwood part 1

[Markikarik]

In Russia, this game is looking better!

[Markikarik]

Я один русский играю в LOTRO?

[k0d3g3ar]

Nah, PvP is boring. If you want Player vs. Player there are thousands of FPS games out there for you. This is epic storyline MMORPG at its finest.

MY FAV GAME

[jakascott21]

FINALLY! They are going to add in rohan, gondor and mordor (i think) XD

[iAmDeathSpank]

@jakascott21 What about haradwaith, isnt it a desert? That would be neat, I dont think there is a desert in LotRO yet, let me know if im wrong though because i havnt reached moria yet

[jakascott21]

@iAmDeathSpank idk, i never heard of haradwaith sorry, but that would deffinantly be cool to have a desert, they should make it like isolated and the people are poor as shit and the rich control the government, and make a quest where you have to either help the poor and start a revolt and then you have to overthrow the rich people who control the government

[iAmDeathSpank]

@jakascott21 Harad was the name for the immense lands south of Gondor and Mordor. Called Haradwaith from the people who lived there; it literally means "South-folk", from the Sindarin harad, "South" and gwaith, "people". It is also referred to as the Sunlands.

[iAmDeathSpank]

@jakascott21 Aragorn's brief description of Haradwaith - "Harad where the stars are strange" suggests that Harad is in the southern hemisphere, as the world is a globe by the time of The Lord of the Rings and not flat as it was before the Fall of Númenor. To the east of Harad lay the land of Khand.

[iAmDeathSpank]

@jakascott21 Historically its northern border was held to be the river Harnen, but by the time of the War of the Ring all the land south of the river Poros was under the influence of the Haradrim. Harad had jungle and desert regions. In its jungles lived animals known as mûmakil, which were elephant-like but larger and more aggressive.

[IZAPUXX]

so, is there any endgame to THIS expansion? iv been wanting to switch to lotro from wow but i just dont see the point when theres nothing to really do at max level

[painfan476]

yan you use a computer game controler with lord of the rings online>

[Airig0rner]

i wonder if or when turbine will expand south more

[Agomongo1235]

@Airig0rner i dont there is anymore south im just saying

[ZisisBizis]

I was so sure he will fall from the stairs. :D Wish I could go to Mirkwood but a gold seller hacker deleted all my high level characters when he hacked my account. And cant get them back so I gave up this beutifull game :((((

[W0rMs4]

i do lots of cheating here...but don't do it at home :D looool

[LadyMeduza]

Weeee...my heart pounds like crazy:):)

[erikouwehand]

is it free? the expansion? mirk wood

[powerslayer94]

no its not free

[bluetube01]

No, it's not free. If you already own the game, the expansion is about $20.

[Agomongo1235]

@bluetube01 i think its $30 USD wich suks if not then i think i read wrong or turbine is ripping us off

[Vyngre]

its only 9 dollar lol

[ilikewarhammer]

@Agomongo1235 30 for all the expansions, less than world of warcraft

[Pooperscooper1112]

ahem...ahem......Turbine, please, please, please.....improve the PvP

[Enzd]

Why should they?

[Pooperscooper1112]

because the PvP is lacking and over the past two years that the game has been out, they have only implemented a new MP class and a couple other things.....creeps have been stuck in the same map for 2 years....I still luv the game and it is one of the best MMORPGs out and while PvP isn't necessarily the focus of the game....I still believe that they need to put at least another map or something interesting in order to spice it up a tad

[KelLorien]

those new mobs look sweet :D

[TomasPaalman]

Whew, new leveling content...im going to start playing Lotro again!..when is this exp. coming out?

[powerslayer94]

1 december

[Eadlir]

thats actually a pretty nice enviorment.

[Marimzirtud]

Gollum was caught and tortured in Mordor...

[hellmasker1]

no, this guy means before he was Gollum, back when he was, as Gandalf put it, 'not so different' from hobbits

[Marimzirtud]

Gollum was transformed from being "not so different" from a hobbit to being Gollum by the ring not by torture in Dol Guldur; he never was tortured in Dol Guldur only in Barad Dur

[hellmasker1]

Oh. Hmm... Well thanks for that, I suppose I shouldn't have sounded so sure, more of a suggestion really. :P

[bluetube01]

It was the ring twisting Smeagol for 500 years under the mountain that changed him. Don't you remember when he said to Frodo: "When 500 years old you are, look as good you will not."

:P

[DelucaBDR]

He looks like a hobbit

[rascherubim]

Is this the bastard who introduced radiance armour in LOTRO?? LETS KILL HIM THA DOUCHBAG!!!

[kloakenskansen]

the radiance armour would not be that bad if players could craft it

[goharlan]

I'm a little curious about the comment he made about a couple of movies myself. Wonder what kind of movies he could be talking about?

[BalanceofEternity]

wait what did he mean "in the next few years theres gonna be some movies coming out." if i heard correctly.. its at 2:40

[king12191]

what he ment is that there is a movie coming out...exactley what he said there is a movie based on the hobbit which is the first book jrr tolkien made which took place a few year before lotr started. and alot of it took place in mirkwood and also dale which i belive when you make a human you can make his home thing be dale-land which is really just the same thing

[powerslayer94]

its the hobbit movie..during 2011

[Rosvolainen]

He was talking about The Hobbit. Bilbo and his company will walk through Mirkwood.

[lawlman2277]

ughhh @ Xkillah202 they didnt get updated in moria, what the hell makes u think it will get updated in mirkwood?

[uglybastardboy]

lol those codemaster fucks banned me from lotro cuz i wasnt playing the game in 10 months and when i bought a time card i couldnt use it :(

[dave13318]

gonna be cool i thought it was going to be riders of rohan though. bad thing on the digital download though :(

[LovelyBeer1]

this Xpac is bullshit... they havent even fixed many of the issues created with the last Xpac yet and they are already thinking of launching another Xpac and leaving the old problems there and even add more problems... and not to mention how the pvp got screwed in this game...

[KingChozin]

hmm expansion sounds like..quests will be very hard..also..erm you guys know which new classes will be introduced?

[AJClochette25]

This game is FORCED GROUPING....most Book quests...impossible to solo...paying customers do not get to see content THEY PAID FOR!!!

Finding groups in this game is an absolute BITTCH...people so spread out all over the huge zones...very very hard to find people to help you

Fire this Dev team!...they are everquest hardcore gamers who want the game really hard. So many people have quit this game because it is waay too hard and legendary weapon system is DUMB

[CatAtomic99]

This has got to be the best fantasy MMO on the market. Turbine's really done a great job with it.

[trenty267]

@CatAtomic99 its even better now that its free

[jackpipsam]

@CatAtomic99 Turbine puts so much work into everything they do, I mean Asheron's Call still gets updates.

[vladimirusable]

@CatAtomic99 nope the best MMO is WoW

[Renamethis]

Its lvl 65 in wirkwood

[Akyy1994]

I heared that there will be only didigatl download...That's stupid because the poeple without credit cards or bank accounts,which are many,will probably stop playing...

[yashrajb]

ITS FUCKING FREE DUMB ASS!

YOU must be dumb as hell.

[Akyy1994]

Well this shows you are fucking retarded because it isn't free.You should go check the website you retarded dumbfuck before you make a comment.

[Akyy1994]

They also announced it in the US you fucking idiot,it's 19.99$

[BalanceofEternity]

Its only free if you upgrade OR already have a multi-month plan. Upgrading to a lifetime subscription also gets it free (i think). But if you dont have one or don't upgrade its $20.00

[PowerinChrist777]

actually its gona cost 19.99 when it opens up dec 1 but you can strike a deal before oct 31 which if you order a multi month subscription you can get it for free or if your a lifetimer you can buy the adventures pack for 19.99 and get it for free

[skaarj6]

ok you say its free but on the lotro lotro euro wbsite theres a preorder option costing around 15 pounds....now whos the fucking dumbass ..

[Xkillah202]

what about the cloaks in the moors do they get upgraded to lvl 65, or stay at 50?

[rar323]

this looks more like a really great and awsome update instead of a full expasion pack. but then again its the conclusion of volume 2 which i havent even started.

[Xkillah202]

we get lvl 70 or 65?

[PowerinChrist777]

65.

[TheDuke1993]

cant wait for this

[jjobie]

Mirkwood actually looks pretty well maintained. I mean, it looks like they at least rake the leaves up. Do they have greenskeepers? :)

[SCE2AUX]

"Aye, Ah want ye te kill every gopher on 'ta course!"

[RobXaos]

Interesting hearing Mr Steefel neatly sidestep the issue of players having to pay for the end of Mines of Moria.

Some interesting ideas, just a shame they felt it necessary to increase the level cap thereby rendering obsolete all the existing content that they have only barely got working.

Despite being pre-ordering LotRO since Beta and having a Lifetime Account, my support of the game ends with this.

[islander1]

instance hax!

[Willuhm19]

fucking awesome, love the nazgul flying above dol guldur

[ddpmaster889]

This is going to be another great expansion, well done Turbine and thank you. Thanks als for posting this up, ive been looking for this interview lol.
