I love the session plays, as do many I know. I haven't seen all these supposed complaints about session play.

There will always be content and quests you do not like. Considering how infrequent...

I do not agree with the sentiments of the original poster at all. Stopping development of new content would kill the game. It is entirely the fact that new content comes out on a regular basis (a...

1. Wanting people to log in more often does not have to mean logins are down. Think about it. Every company wants more success and more profit. Things don't need to get bad before this happens.

2....

I agree with people complaining about the lag/rubberbanding, but I don't see this as an either/or scenario. I doubt the design devs were thinking "so we fix two major aspects of the design of mounted...

If we're counting lair bosses, then we have to count Draigoch for RoI. That said, Draigoch was technically content intended for an earlier free content update, which ended up being delayed to RoI...

It is easy for me, with many years of experience with the classes, maxed virtues, and the best end-game gear (including gold items and First Ages), to think that landscape content is too easy. What...

The logic of not pre-ordering based on not knowing the quality of the content is quite flawed, because we have six years of experience with this game and this developer. If you were unhappy with what...

Based on the last few expansions, June for pre-orders and September for launch seems like the most likely scenario.

A few of us Europeans in my kin Keepers of the Palantiri. We're a mix of EU and US, though a bit on the quiet side at the moment. There are a few other Europeans dotted throughout the server.

VIPs will get one free Gold Hobbit Present per week, in addition to the one free Silver Hobbit Present per day that F2P players get.

The improved bonus XP system refers to a change away from...

You clearly do not understand how the media works. If a journalist is sent a press release that does not have an embargo on it, then it is expected by all parties (the media and the company's PR)...

I will be pre-ordering for the following reasons:

1. I want and intend to play the expansion.

2. I want the pre-order bonuses.

3. Based on previous expansions, I have a fairly good idea of...

Turbine forces us to get SA and FAs? Really? News to me.

If the raids are pathetic and there is no need for these SAs and FAs, then how would we be forced to get them?



You wanting to be the...

I don't agree with the OP.

1. Without a level cap increase, there's significantly less feeling of advancement.

2. Without a level cap increase, there is less for everyone to do. Current armour,...

Given there are two more Hobbit films to go, not to mention extended edition DVD releases, we have several years left of Tolkien fever, and given that the game appears to remain popular and...

I'd definitely like to hear more of Chance Thomas' music for Helm's Deep. In my opinion he should be a regular for all future expansions.

If we consider previous trends, likely September or October. F2P and Isengard were September. RoR was supposed to be September, but ended up being delayed to October. This would suggest September...

I honestly don't see why people complain about this. If they didn't introduce 10 new levels, there'd be significantly less sense of progression, many would wonder what the point of earning quest XP...

The Player Council doesn't even exist yet. And I don't think they'll get to "vote" on what content happens.

You might also consider the fact that expansion content planning occurs long in advance...

I think this is likely to be instances, just like the level 20+ scaling Erebor ones.

The problem for Turbine is trying to attract new customers. Helm's Deep is very iconic, but if a new player has...

Actually, I think this suggests instance/raid content:



If we can join the battle at level 10, then it must scale, and it must be instanced. Exactly like the Erebor stuff.

It doesn't cost nothing if you don't have Skype credit, which you have to buy. I filed a ticket earlier today. I assume this is still open, as I did not receive anything saying it was closed, but I...

Not for me it's not. EU lifetime account here (on my primary account, that is, not this one). Got the 5 year rewards last year, and nothing this year. No warsteed cosmetics or portrait. Relogged,...

Well, since Turbine has already confirmed that lots of new content is coming this year (Wildermore, West Rohan, major class/trait revamps, and a housing update), the rumour is more than likely...

Glad to get some dates, and very happy to see the Anniversary is relatively soon. Will we be getting new rewards? Will there be a new dev diary about it?
