Lord of the Rings: The White Council - Interview #2 @ MMORPG.com

by Dhruin, 2007-02-21 08:24:25

MMORPG.com follows up their recent interview with Turbine's Jeff Anderson on LotRO with a second part.  Here's a snip:

Last week, we brought you the first half of Jon Wood’s interview with Jeff Anderson, the CEO and President of Turbine Inc. about the process of turning the well-loved classic Lord of the Rings novel trilogy into an MMORPG. Today, we bring you part two of Jon’s interview. In part two, Jeff talks about the game’s unique Monster Play system.

One of the major complaints that we heard about Lord of the Rings Online when details first started to be released was that there would be no evil races available for play and because of this, the game would not have PvP. You see, many fans of Tolkien’s books are as much a fan of the utterly evil races as they are the bright and shiny hero races. Lord of the Rings was, for me growing up, the ultimate story of good vs. evil.
