Lord of the Rings Online - Session Play @ Official Site

A new sneak preview article at the official Lord of the Rings Online site explores the concept of session play, a feature to be added during a future content update.

Session Play is a new system that allows you to play as a character other than your normal character. These characters do not have permanence, so you don't keep them like you do your Free Peoples or monster play characters. You could play as a Ranger, a Troll, or... a chicken. It's an opportunity to explore Middle-earth from a different - and sometimes unexpected - viewpoint.
