Here at Connect08 we've just spent an informative hour participating in a roundtable about all things Lord of the Rings Online. Executive producer Jeffrey Steefel was on hand to answer audience questions covering a wide range of subjects, from technical issues to crafting and kinships. So without further ado, let's get stuck in!Initially Jeffrey showed a demo of some Book 13 content and a quick run-through of existing high-level content that many audience members hadn't seen -- several players were impressed with Jeffrey's deft hand at death-touching and cavalier attitude to barriers ("Since I can't go through this door, because I haven't done the quests, I'll just delete it"). The floor was then opened to the audience.
