The Lord of the Rings Online: Siege of Mirkwood Interview

MMORPG.com has cranked out a brief Q&A with Turbine’s Jeffrey Steefel and Aaron Campbell about their forthcoming The Lord of the Rings Online: Siege of Mirkwood expansion pack.

MMORPG.com: In terms of sheer content, how does Siege of Mirkwood stack up against Mines of Moria?

Turbine: Mines of Moriaâ„¢ was a massive undertaking, no doubt. Siege of Mirkwoodâ„¢ provides a smaller scale of content than Moria, but a greater range of flexibility. One of the new features we’re most excited about is Skirmishes, which provide for randomized, story-based battle instances that scale to the size of your group. This is an entirely new layer to LOTRO on top of the things you’d come to expect, including a deep and exciting Epic Story, the haunting and thematic landscape of Southern Mirkwood, and a massive new series of instances for 3, 6 or 12 players within the Fortress of Dol Guldur.
