Another "Book" to Add to LotRO's Virtual Shelf

Over the past year, Turbine has displayed an almost impeccable track record when it comes to releasing quality free content at regular intervals for their most recent MMOG, Lord of the Rings Online. All of their updates – called Books – have been incredible deep and full of rich new content for players to enjoy. With Book 13 just on the horizon, thousands of players are itching to take a crack at the latest update to the LOTRO saga. Recently, Ten Ton Hammer's Cody "Micajah" Bye sat down with LOTRO's lead worldbuilder, Matt Elliott, to take about the details of what's going into their next update!

Matt: It's really a combination of both. One of the things that is important for us is that we introduce something new along with leveraging our existing assets. For Forochel we introduced a number of variations on existing monster types, include the worms, snow beasts, giants, and other creatures. But we also created several new beasts, one of them being the "Grim" along with the "Sabertooth Cat." So it's really a combination between new and old types.
