Turbine takes you behind the scenes on LotRO's live-action trailer
Lord of the Rings Online fans are still suffering a bit of sticker shock over Riders of Rohan's price point, but Turbine is gamely soldiering on with its publicity plans. LotRO's fourth expansion is coming in September, and the firm has just released a new behind-the-scenes featurette that looks at the making of the recent live-action Rohan trailer. The clip shows the considerable care that went into the trailer's production, and it bodes well for those Middle-earth fans who are anxiously looking forward to Turbine's take on Tolkien's horse-lords. Check it out after the break, and check out the structural concept art in our gallery below. %Gallery-149032%
The Daily Grind: Do you play classes you don't like?
I recently returned to Lord of the Rings Online in anticipation of the Rohan-themed expansion pack due later this year. As I was looking over my character page and deciding which of my toons I should take to 75, I reluctantly decided to abandon my highest level avatar. You see, he's a Guardian, and despite the fact that I'm basically throwing away 58 levels and some pretty decent gear, I simply can't bear the thought of playing what is absolutely the most boring class in any MMO, ever. Why did I roll one, then? Mainly because my launch-day guild was going for class balance, and no one else wanted to play a tank. And that's my long-winded way of leading into today's Daily Grind question. Do you play classes you don't like (and if so, why)? Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming.
