IncGamers writes: "The MMORPG genre trundles on as developers continue to look for the next big thing, well that's how it seems these days with newly launched products underperforming post launch. There are however MMOs that are an exception to this rule and Turbine's Lord of the Rings Online is one of these exceptions."
A lot of attention was paid a short time ago when an ex-Turbine developer dished some behind the scenes details of the company and their Tolkien-inspired mmo. MMO-Play analyzes these tidbits that were revealed as they peek behind the curtain at Lord of the Rings Online.
The work of J.R.R Tolkien is as popular as ever, the second movie in the trilogy involving our favorite “burglerobbit” Bilbo Baggins, had its premiere in the middle of December, and the MMORPG LotRO, based on the world of Middle-earth are still going strong. Though, during a recent event, Community Manager Rick Heaton confirmed that they will not release any new dungeons or raids in the near future.
Turbine today announced the launch of beta client for The Lord of the Rings Online for Mac. Mac users in Europe can play the award-winning free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) on Mac starting from today, including the recently released Riders of Rohan expansion.
