<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Turbine/">Turbine</a> is stepping it up with their newest <a href="http://www.lotro.com"><em>Lord of the Rings Online: Siege of Mirkwood</em></a> trailer, Lieutenant of Dol Guldur. The voice acting, editing, music, creatures and setting are all enthralling to a degree that goes beyond our standard expectations. We've no doubt this one will get people's blood pumping, and in a good way. Seriously, this is the kind of stuff you expect when a company adopts an important IP -- especially where the voice acting is concerned.<br />
<br />
We can't wait to see what the future holds for Turbine trailers, especially considering the locales of Middle-earth the game has yet to expand into its world. Rohan? Helm's Deep? Minas Tirith? <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgiliath">Osgiliath</a>? Thinking of trailers for all these places makes us tingle with anticipation.<br />
<br />
Check out the trailer after the cut.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/11/03/lotros-spellbinding-lieutenant-of-dol-guldur-trailer/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>LotRO's spellbinding 'Lieutenant of Dol Guldur' trailer</em></a></p><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/2009/11/03/lotros-spellbinding-lieutenant-of-dol-guldur-trailer/">LotRO's spellbinding 'Lieutenant of Dol Guldur' trailer</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:00:00 EST.

<p>One of the things we've been working on here in the background, here at Massively, is a big writeup of one of the most promising, detailed and downright spectacular role-playing settings in <a href="http://secondlife.com/"><em>Second Life</em></a>: The City of Osgiliath (formerly Lond Ernil).</p>
<p>This amazing site, spread across six simulators was due to open this week, and we had a delicious feature planned to whet your appetite for role-playing in the Third Age of Middle Earth, in one of the largest cities in the Southern Kingdoms of Gondor. The group staging the setting has poured in over US$10,000 leasing the simulators from the owner during the build-out phase.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the whole site has been destroyed in a single stroke.</p><p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/05/28/osgiliath-lost/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Osgiliath lost</em></a></p><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/2008/05/28/osgiliath-lost/">Osgiliath lost</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 28 May 2008 07:00:00 EST.
