Here, for your delectation, are six new screens showing the "epic story" of the upcoming Lord of the Rings Online expansion pack Siege of Mirkwood.
Siege of Mirkwood is due to go live on 3 December and, as far as we know, it remains on schedule. If you want to be in on it from the start, you can pre-order it here
There are all sorts of goodies to be gained by pre-ordering, depending on the version of the game you opt for. If you're the dithering type, look away now, as you can choose between: the Standard Edition (£14.99), Special Edition (£19.99, which adds the Adventurer's Pack and a horse), Platinum Edition (£29.99, including Shadows of Angmar and Mines of Moria) and the Platinum Special Edition (£34.99, with everything including the Hobbit's kitchen sink).
I'm an Elf: get me out of here
Get in there before Middle-Earth gets so swamped it makes Benidorm look like the Sahara.
Anyway, I'm off to make a apocalyptic cup of tea, combined with a biscuit of wonderment.
ha-ha
but seriously, they need a decent lotro game out, the return of the king game was ok. But what they need is a Jedi Knight kind of game, in Middle Earth!
