IncGamers recently caught up with Turbine's Jeffrey Steefel as he prepares for the launch of the Mines of Moria expansion for Lord of the Rings Online. We asked him about the super secret MMO in development by Turbine for consoles and he talked us through the challenge of bringing the MMO to the sofa.
Albatross Revue are happy to present these screenshots to show some of the exciting in-game rewards that can be earned during the five-year anniversary festival activities as well as some of the gifts that players will receive automatically as a thank you for playing. Rewards will be given according to how long a player has been playing. Lord of the Rings Online celebrates its five year anniversary on April 24, 2012
Free-to-play may actually be the proper way to offer MMOs instead of subscriptions, as Turbine has recently revealed that Lord of the Rings Online has tripled its revenue since switching the game over to that model back in September...
Have a struggling MMO? Make it free to play, and you'll pretty much guarantee success.
Hello APB F2P.
That's good to hear, if the majority of MMO's go free to play then I'll never have a gaming drought again.
...or just make an amazing MMORPG that is worth your while....like world of warcraft.
Turbine's insanely easy contest could leave you with 100,000 points in your pocket.
No way! They're doing another MMO?!
I'm kind of sceptical against if it's possible to make a good MMO on console...
It is always hard. FFXI I think still to this day had the best console / PC midground UI.
It's all about the UI. There's so much information to convey.
I like the way Lotro is going and their approach. I do look forward to seeing what Turbine do on the consoles.
