The work of J.R.R Tolkien is as popular as ever, the second movie in the trilogy involving our favorite “burglerobbit” Bilbo Baggins, had its premiere in the middle of December, and the MMORPG LotRO, based on the world of Middle-earth are still going strong. Though, during a recent event, Community Manager Rick Heaton confirmed that they will not release any new dungeons or raids in the near future.
Turbine has renewed the Asheron's Call domain for a long period of time, yet initial indications don't point to a return for the MMORPG.
It was stunning to see the LotRO and DDO leaving Turbine news. MMO-Play discuss how gamers should react to this event.
This is good news for gamers everywhere but I doubt I'll go back to those anytime soon.
Warner Bros. has confirmed layoffs at Turbine from Dungeons & Dragons Online and The Lord of the Rings Online. The studio will be transitioning to a free-to-play, mobile business model.
