Lord of the Rings Online: Mines of Moria

 

We are very close to premiere of expansion designed for our Lord of the Rings Online, Mines of Moria. This new expansion will be great opportunity to go back to Lotro, great MMORPG (i think is better then Warhammer Online) and discover dangerous mines of Moria. What else? First of all level cap is rised so now we can advance to level 60! I’m really excited becouse of it! Now we can play as a Runekeeper and Warden class, so now if you want you can play as magical Runekeeper or Warden who is designed for combat. There is also tons of new items, new monster, new quests and raids. I’m waiting for special crafting addon > legendary items. Well now we will be able to construct legendary weapons like Bilbo’s Sting or Narsil or anyother legendary item.

Hobbit and Lord of the Rings prequel

We are now sure that Guillermo del Toro, famous and successful director of Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy, and Blade 2 will direct new Hobbit!!Lord of the Rings Production team officially selected del Toro to direct 2 movies. First will be about Hobbit - Bilbo Baggins and "how he become owner of Ring of Power" and second about everything events before Lord of the Rings. For now it isn’t quite sure what about script and who will create it, but rumor said that old crew from Lotr will create it, so Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens will be together once more :-)

I think this is really good news, i was little concerned about future of this project after Peter Jackson resigned from directing it. Now I can say : uffff we can stop to worry, Del Toro is really best option now. Peter will control everything as executive producer and will co-write screen play – and for me is really good news :-)

I dunno what about second movie?Events after Hobbit and before Lord of the Rings are mistery for me, so i can’t say much about that. I read Hobbit and Lord of the Rings :-)

Lord of The Rings Online

well my first 1 hour in Lotro was not so interesting as i think will be,  to feel spirit of this game you should play around 4-5 h and after that i think your first thought is to buy it. But its not so simple, anyway after another ..around 2-3 days you will discover one thing - game is just another World of Warcraft, yeah i know its little different but quest are similar, grinding is the same - you must kill enemies all the time. Playing in party its more interesting then in Wow but this game isn’t revolutionary its just almost the same stuff. Where is future of mmo genre?what after World of Warcraft is waiting for us?Warhammer Online maybe but Lotro its just the same old Wow…

How to play in Lotr..

Lord of the Rings Online represent MMO genre of game, which is very specific. First thing you need to remember is that > time in this game  is most valuable thing. If you are questing, talking with others, and doing some group attack on monster, you must remember that.

1. If you are on new land > take every possible quest. Its most important to do 4-5 quests in the same time ( don’t waste your precious time)

2. Remember that this game is multiplayer game!Speak with others, do some quests in group - you can do any quest very fast. In group you don’t waste time.

3. Try to collect everything. Every item, has his own value. EVERY.

4. Don’t try to be a hero, fighting with 3-4 monsters - you can beat one at a same time. Remember that Heroes lie in Verdun ;)

5. Messenger quests are interesting only if you’ve got around 6-7 conected to target - land.

6. Remember - savior vive is important everywhere :)

Lord of The Rings Online - Free trial

few days ago i downloaded new MMO ( massive multiplayer online ) Lord of The Rings. Producers of this great game launched new promotion - 7 day trial of game. I installed Lotr on my PC and started the game. Before that i subscribe for trial - without this, you can’t play.

On the beginning, i watched superb game intro ( you can watch it on youtube - with Witch King of Angmar anyway), and i created my first hero - Champion, human from Gondor. Champion is specialist in combat, master of quick attack and his skills are almost all focused on defeating enemy. I started in first location where i encounter, Nazgul ( yeah was very scary ). Anyway my starting location was town Archet and after doing some easy quest, town was attacked by evil forces connected to Witch King of Angmar. Anyway money in this game are similar as in World of Warcraft - Gold, silver, copper. Earlier i was thinking that maybe not gold but mithril - but gold is more popular…Now my character is on level 7 after 4 hours of playing ( pretty fast…) and after i finish this post i launch Lotr and play some more.

TRY THIS GAME IS GREAT!Go on this site http://www.warhamergold.net or here

Elves

are ancient race much older then humans or dwarf or any other humanoid- race, like hobbits. When they first arrive to Middle-earth, in the begging of first age, they meet morgoth and from that moment they foght with him. Elves are called the Firstborn or the Elder Kindren, they are very close to magic ( Galadriel in Lotr - movie adaptation is good example, she is using water for her vision - like Nostradamus anyway ;-) ). Ive got another blog about Lortr here or here http://lordoftheringsonlinenews.blogspot.com/

Elves are immune to all disease, and naturally immortal. You can kill them but their natural life is eternal. After death they go to Purgatory - like Halls of Mandos in Valinor- in there their spirits are purified from evil.

Monsters and forces of…

evil in Middle - Earth are conected to enemy nr 1, in fact he "invented evil", and was evil by itself. Im speaking about Melkor alias Morgoth ( in movie sometimes his name was mentioned - i remember when Legolas is talking with Galadriela in Lorien after Gandalf’s death, and when Gandalf the White - after his ressurection - is talking about his fight with Balrog in under-world.

This Great Enemy of Middle-Earth was a big trouble in First age, when he wanted revenge on his brothers (?) - Valars. He was once Valar to, this noble creatures was first - magic beings in Middlearth. Older then Elves and more powerful. He created all evil and minions of Trolls, Orcs, Goblins, Balrogs, Dragons, and all deamons, monsters like giant spiders…

Lord of the Rings miniatures

 

by Games Workshop is battle game in type of Warzone or Warhammer 40.000 and Warhammer Classic ( also by Games Workshop ). In this type of game you are playing little models that have lots of statistics.

You can play with side of good ( for example Frodo and his companions) or evil ( Sauron’s minions). If you are ready, have dice, flat place and good mood ohh and one thing…miniatures - you can have really superb fun.

In game you are playing in different moments from the book or movie - for the example you are on Helms Deep and you are defender. Of course not everything must be exactly like in book. This is multiplayer game so your friends can  control all evil or few evil forces or single models.

Helms Deep fight

 

 

And this is how look attack on Helms Deep - nice isn’t it?
