When starting up Rise of Isengard for the first time, longtime players of The Lord of the Rings Online will undoubtedly be surprised to see the WB Games logo show up before the Turbine logo appears. Even though WB Games had signed on over a year ago, before this expansion we hadn't seen any signs of this in-game. So this immediately brings up the question: How does this affect the world of Middle-Earth we've grown so familiar with over the past four and a half years? Many of us are likely a bit apprehensive of any major changes to something we love so much.
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.
Turbine has unveiled a new Mithril Edition of The Lord of the Rings Online, which will come packaged with an exclusive mount, bonus quests, and 2000 Turbine Points for those of you looking to dive into the game at a great entry price.
Are you ready for the rise of Isengard?
