Mines of Moria expansion

Short video showing the scale of the in-game architecture in the Mines of Moria expansion for Lord of the Rings Online.

I made this video as part of this post over on my blog.

Thanks for the overview. Lovely graphics and I love epic stair cases but the place looks too shiny and new. It should be more of a ruin. More decay please!

And why is Moria so illuminated? I thought the chapter in the book is called A Journey into the Dark?

I would've liked a more claustrophobic atmosphere, not in terms of space but scarcity of light. More shadows please!

As for goat riders galloping about? How the heck did that get past the lore check?

@RobMacRay Well, the view is one of the better preserved areas, there are places in Moria that are in ruin. Personally I hate too much darkness so I'm happy they did it the way they did, too dark and it ruins my enjoyment.

the graphics you see there are on high detail?

[gnomtrix]

I use a custom setting, so it's a mixture of values.

1024x768 fullscreen, 2x anti-aliasing.

In advanced settings I use a mixture of high, medium and low depending on the setting.

@RobMacRay It may be a settings choice regarding brightness. I never changed my settings and it's not even close to being this bright. In fact, it's dark as hell. There are places where I cannot see at all until the torch effect kicks in.

Fantastic video. As a Mines of Moria beta tester, I can definitely say that you captured the epic scale of Moria nicely.
