Scourge of Khazad-Dûm Preview
To keep your current customers happy, you've got to provide new content to them on a regular basis and few companies manage that task as well as Turbine, the company behind The Lord of the Rings Online. It seems like just a few months ago we were bringing you preview screens for Volume II: Book 7: Leaves of Lórien. Oh wait, that's because it *was* only a few months ago. Not content to sit around and make their players wait another six months for anything new, the team has been hard at work on Volume II: Book 8: Scourge of Khazad-Dûm.
Last week, Aaron Campbell, the Live Producer of LotRO was kind enough to give me a sneak peek at some of the things they've been cooking up: Two 3-man instances, one 6-man instance, and one 12-man instance. For most companies, that would be more than enough to justify a "release" but as I mentioned earlier, the folks at Turbine don't take on anything lightly. Not only did I see some of the new instances, but Aaron also told me how they'll be releasing a completely upgraded crafting system and giving some older areas in the game a bit of love as well.
