There's a lot of interesting material coming with the <a href="http://www.lotro.com/mirkwood/"><em>Siege of Mirkwood</em></a> expansion for <a href="http://www.lotro.com"><em>Lord of the Rings Online</em></a>, not to mention a large number of player questions and curiosity about where the game is headed.  Luckily for the playerbase, <a href="http://www.warcry.com">WarCry</a> was recently lucky enough to get a chance to chat with the developers, with a <a href="http://www.warcry.com/news/view/96062-LOtRO-Dev-Chat-Transcript-11-11-2009">full transcript now available</a> for all who missed the live chat.  As is par for the course for developer chats, there's the occasional question that seems rather out-of-place or unnecessary, but on the whole it's full of tidbits that should excite the game's fans.<br />
<br />
The discussion ranges from the tangible issues with the upcoming expansion such as class upgrades (each class will get one new skill upgrade at level 62), meta-issues (there will be a <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/skirmish/">Skirmish</a> sneak peek coming soon to let players try the new format), and some wholly random bits (the developers will not add your farm on <a href="http://www.facebook.com">Facebook</a> as a neighbor).  It's a weighty and lengthy chat that can't be summarized easily, so it's best to <a href="http://www.warcry.com/news/view/96062-LOtRO-Dev-Chat-Transcript-11-11-2009">take a look</a>, digest, and start thinking about the first thing you want to do in <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/Lord-of-the-Rings-Online/"><em>Lord of the Rings Online</em></a> when the expansion goes live.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/11/13/lord-of-the-rings-online-developer-chat-transcript-available/">Lord of the Rings Online developer chat transcript available</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:00:00 EST.
