"I can't tell you how many times I've personally swooped back to an area full of mobs that gave me trouble as I was leveling up. Of course, in Lord of the Rings Online, the fun part about it is that slaying tons of certain types of monsters will net you a deed - as well as just being good fun for revenge killing. Today's One Shots from Rhedbierd shows off one such scenario of going back and cutting a swath through some bad guys, just for the hell of it! He writes in: This is a shot from Rhedbierd of the kinship Laer En Tul Acharn as they finish off their Giant Slayer (Advanced) deed in northwestern Evendim. Sometimes its fun to just go back to those mid-level areas as a high-level character and complete deeds very quickly. You can never go wrong with killing hundreds of giants in a little over an hour."
New raids, class updates, festivals and more are on the calendar.
Now this makes me feel old! I remember playing the beta while I worked at Gamestop. I honestly didn't even know this game was still online! A quick search showed that it's even F2P now, so I may check it out for nostalgia's sake.
I only subbed at launch for 1-2 months bc I was already caught up in WoW at the time. I love the LotR universe though and would like to see how it's being handled these days.
Before the Shadow is the latest expansion to the still-thriving MMORPG, Lord of the Rings Online, introducing new regions and mechanics.
From MMORPG: "Some Lord of the Rings Online players may have been aware of an unofficial rogue server project that was set to release this month called Echoes of Angmar. Aiming to create a true vanilla version of LOTRO, trait lines and map-less Old Forest and all, the server ran the real risk of drawing legal ire down on its head because of the unlicensed use of a very much still-operating and still-in-development MMO.
