LOTR Online boss talks gold-farming

LOTR Online boss talks lotro gold-farmingTurbine executive producer Jeffrey Steefel believes MMO business models will change in the next five years toaccommodate using real-life money to buy in-game currency and items.Steefel was talking to Eurogamer in an exclusive interview, and while Lord of The Rings Online doesn't tolerate the"secondary market" just yet, he said his team would pay attention to developments in that area.Advertisement"The 'secondary market' is a huge topic of conversation across the industry, and we're watching it really closely,"Steefel told Eurogamer. "Our position is pretty straightforward right now. Our responsibility is to the subscribersof the game, to deliver to them the experience they expect. So we certainly do not support people farming or takingadvantage of the system in that way. It's against our Terms of Service and we do try and enforce that.""But, we all know that something will happen in the next two to five years to business models in general, so we'repaying attention to what's going on; watching what's going on with Sony Station whose servers support and managethis."Traditionally the "secondary market" works by players of an MMORPG going to a website like IGE.com, finding the gameand server they play on, checking the availability of currency or items, then buying them using real-life cash.They'll then have the money or bits and pieces delivered to them in-game by an anonymous source.A no-tolerance policy to "gold farming" is fairly common, and account suspensions or bans are well-documented inboth Final Fantasy XI and World of Warcraft. But Sony Online Entertainment is treading new ground with its first-party auction house called the Station Exchange, which gives EverQuest II players the option to "legally" purchasein-game assets. It gives SOE the opportunity to manage and moderate what goes on, as well as provide a secure andtrustworthy service.It begs the age old question of shouldn't some people be allowed to buy in-game clobber if they simply don't have asmuch time to pour into it as others? What about freedom of choice, etc?"That's the endless philosophical discussion," Steefel continues. "If I can find a way for every type of person inmy game to play the way they want to without adversely affecting anyone else, then that's win, win, win. And that'swhat we'll try to figure out."Look out for our full interview with Jeffrey Steefel on Eurogamer later this week.

LOTRO game news

Hi! I got my copy of The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar last week from a friend and I can't stop playing it! This game is probably the best game ever! I tried to find some news regarding the game, but it's nearly impossible. Every news I find is at least a month old. Can you find me some new news regarding The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar?

Hi! Book 10 is next update from Turbine for The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar. There's not going to be a new region in Book 10 but the whole city of Annaminas will be opened up, and a lot more things will be happening there. By that I mean new armor, new weapons and of course new monsters in monster play mode!

Lotro Creatures:Half-orcs

From Turbine:

There are few tales more frightening in all of Eriador than those of the Orcs and Goblins that strike from the shadows against the Free Peoples of Middle-earth. Many believe these are simply tales of fancy, spun by storytellers to keep children safely within their homes at night for fear of being gobbled up in the darkness.

Those who have travelled to distant lands do not dismiss such tales, however, for Orcs and their cruel deeds are not the stuff of children's tales; they are all too real, and recent news from places north and east tell of vast armies of these horrifying creatures preparing once again for an assault on the good people of the land.

Even more disturbing, however, are rumours of the Half-orcs: creatures with the blood of both Man and Orc, capable of walking nearly unnoticed among the Free Peoples, looking like a Man of the South, with features that only hint at their monstrous blood. In addition, these half-breeds can travel in full sunlight with no ill effects. It is said that these Half-orcs are within the borders of Eriador even now, living amongst the folk of Bree-land and even wandering in the peaceful Shire.

The origin of the Half-orc is not clear. Some surmise that they are the result of experimentation by Saruman the White, though none can say why a Wizard of the great order that includes Gandalf the Grey and Radagast the Brown would turn to such vile pursuits. Others believe Half-orcs have an ancient origin, and have been living throughout Middle-earth since days long past.

Explore Middle-earth: Woodhall

The sleepy little hobbit-village of Woodhall lies within the forested arms of Woody End in the Eastfarthing of the Shire. Tucked away well off the Stock Road as it is, Woodhall

sees little traffic. Gossip tends to be a favorite pastime for the hobbits who dwell here, and travelers may want to avoid the occasional nosey hobbit if they find themselves

passing through.



While the village of Woodhall is relatively small and unimportant, the wooded hills it rests beneath are another matter. Overlooking the village is a wide, green clearing within

the forest where the trees form a sort of hall, complete with pillars and canopy. It is rumored that sometimes Elves can be seen traveling through Woody End and that their

lights can be seen hanging in the boughs of the clearing some evenings.

The clearing above Woodhall is where The Elf-company of Gildor Inglorion took Frodo Baggins and his companions after startling away the Black Rider who was hunting them in The

Fellowship of the Ring. Who can say what players of The Lord of the Rings: Shadows of Angmar will find in the encampment

above Woodhall?

Characters of Middle-earth: The Witch-king of Angmar

Characters of Middle-earth: The Witch-king of Angmar

In the latter days of the Second Age, nine kings of Men fell under the sway of Sauron, who promised them Rings that would give them great power. The greatest of the Nine was the Witch-king, a ruthless sorcerer who used his Ring to further his own personal ambitions. The Rings, however, were a trick, and corrupted them, drawing them from the living world and turning them into the Nazgûl, the Ringwraiths. The Witch-king became their Captain, and served Sauron until the Dark Lord's defeat in the war against the Last Alliance of Elves and Men.


For more than a thousand years after Sauron's disappearance, the Witch-king and the other Nazgûl disappeared from Middle-earth. When their master returned in disguise at Dol Guldur, however, they resurfaced, and the Witch-king travelled north to found the realm of Angmar and make war against the North-kingdom of Arnor. With an army of orcs, evil Men, and other foul creatures at his command, he corrupted the kingdom of Rhudaur, destroyed Cardolan, and brought down the great Tower at Amon Sûl. Finally, his forces besieged Fornost, the capital of Arthedain, and conquered the North-kingdom at last.



His victory was short-lived, however, for an army of Men and Elves, led by Eärnur of Gondor and the Elf-lord Glorfindel, joined the survivors of Arnor and made war on the Fields of Fornost, west of the once-proud city. The armies of Angmar were destroyed, and the Witch-king fled south to Mordor. Angmar fell to ruin, but Glorfindel prophesied that while the Witch-king was defeated, his doom would not come for some time, and not at the hand of man.





Not long after his return to Mordor, the Witch-king and his Nazgûl besieged the Gondorian city of Minas Ithil and captured it. He renamed it Minas Morgul and made it his new stronghold. In the millennium since that time, he has caused no end of trouble for Gondor, including the disappearance and presumed death of Eärnur and repeated attacks on Osgiliath.



Recently, however, the Witch-king left Minas Morgul, travelling with his Ringwraiths in secret back to the lands of Eriador, where he met his defeat long ago. Few know what his purpose is, but fear and woe follow in his wake. It can be no coincidence that Angmar itself, long thought barren and emptied, is now emerging as a new threat to peace in the North....

LOTRO Interview with Top Honcho

A few days ago, we featured the interview with Turbine’s boss regarding LOTRO gold farming. Today, Jeff Steefel is back to answer more questions.

Here is an excerpt from the Eurogamer interview:

One of the most eye-catching new features in Evendim is the addition of the first real raid for players over level 30. How is raiding going to fit into Lord of The Rings Online, will it complement it or define it?

Jeffrey Steefel: Oh, I think complement
