I'm a sucker for LotR. I will play it even if the reviews and beta are shit. If it r0x I will throw away my p0rn collection and jack off on the box for a year straight.

I did'nt see much to comment on feature wise. Looks like little info is still given.

I've got some inside info from my buds at Turbine on this game. The base arch. of the game is AC2, so expect some of the game to play in the same fashion. Skill trees are also planned to be similar to AC, as in you put XP into them, but other than that its all still up in the air. Mind you this is just prelim info from some of my dev friends there. If I hear anything else, I'll pass it along.

Sweet bro keep us up to date on this. Use a secure board if you have to.

ok snot .. youre off the team! get out.

jk bud, if it is anything like AC2 its a waste of money and time. That might have been the worst game ive ever played, except for the time I played spin the bottle , blindfolded, at Elfdroppers family reunion, i still wake up in the middle of the night sweating, with horrible itching sensation above my upper lip.... god damn rednecks.

I was excited until I saw turbine was doing it. Blah. Turbine also has the rights to do DNDonline.

check the vault boards, chris taylor, the producer from the vivendi side, has posted there frequently although I haven't checked it in the last month or so. He said there will be no pvp, outside of perhaps duals or an arena.

If it is ANYTHING like AC2 it will be craptastic. AC2 just brought to light turbines complete and utter incompetence at game design.

At least with DND online they have a fixed game design they have to follow, it should be hard to screw up but I have full faith in the idiots at turbine.
