This weekend at
PAX 2008, Massively had the opportunity to be a part of the first-ever public preview of
Mines of Moria with
Lord of the Rings Online Executive Producer Jeffrey Steefel. During this showing, Steefel showed us many of the main features of this first expansion for
LotRO, including the Legendary Weapon system, the two new classes, the vastness of the mines themselves and much more.
The overall impression we got from this presentation was that this expansion is going to be epic. Just the sheer size of the world, which includes the mines themselves, more of Eregion and into Lothlorien, will be immense. This, combined with the game mechanic changes and additions to just about every aspect of gameplay, will speak volumes (pun!) about the potential of
Turbine with this franchise.
