About a week after release IGN is still deeply involved in their journeys across Middle-earth, hence the lack of a review. IGN goes on to state:
"Turbine's Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar has so far proven to be a remarkably accessible MMORPG, with easy to understand classes and skills, quest goals, and group dynamics. It doesn't do anything exceptionally revolutionary however, instead choosing to utilize a well-worn MMO formula. For the most part, that's not so bad. The game provides a nice mix of solo and group quests, all of which bestow excellent experience bonuses and useful rewards. While many of the solo quests may be of the all-too-familiar kill and fetch variety, sometimes nauseatingly so, the main story quests are refreshingly different."
More after the jump.
Turbine today announced the launch of beta client for The Lord of the Rings Online for Mac. Mac users in Europe can play the award-winning free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) on Mac starting from today, including the recently released Riders of Rohan expansion.
Developers are turning to the free-to-play model in order to maintain player bases and gain revenue. Is this a viable strategy?
