The Lord of the Rings Online: Siege of Mirkwood Interview

Following the release of The Lord of the Rings Online: Siege of Mirkwood, MMORPG.com chatted up live producer Aaron Campbell about what, exactly, the expansion pack brings to the table.

MMORPG.com: How well do you think the causal player can proceed in the updated version of LotRO?

Aaron Campbell: If anything the Siege of Mirkwood release makes The Lord of the Rings Online even more accessible and engaging. Combat is now even more responsive, smooth and fast-flowing. Mirkwood itself is extremely friendly to players who enjoy roaming solo or in small groups, from an epic story that is primarily solo to Skirmishes that can scale to a variety of group sizes. The instances at Dol Guldur are designed to take only around 30-45 minutes, and are available for both three or six person fellowships.
