The Lord of the Rings Online Interview, Part Two

MMORPG.com has kicked up the second portion of their interview with Turbine CEO Jeff Anderson about The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar.

In Lord of the Rings Online, destiny points are currency on the account level. You gain them by doing most everything in the game and they are used to buy things like benefits, boots, and buffs for a hero character (good guy), or to buy a new body for a monster character. This pool of destiny points, as mentioned above, is shared between both the good and evil character.

In terms of Monster Play, the area known as the Ettenmoors plays a crucial role. Within that area, monster and player alike are fair game for PvP. Monsters, as described, will arrive their upon their initial creation through the Fell Scrying Pool. Hero characters will be lured there through quests and also the promise of high-end crafting nodes, PvE objectives and more. It’s an area that a player could avoid if they so chose, but there are certainly incentives to venture in to the area where heroes, monsters and NPCs are all fair game.
