Chris Taylor on Middle Earth Online

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the hobbits-and-orcs dept.

Recently, GameSpy's Andrew Bub caught up with Vivendi Univeral's Chris Taylor (of Fallout and Starfleet Command) at GenCon to talk about their Middle Earth Online MMORPG which is in the works. A lot of ground is covered, from which parts of middle earth will be in the game, to how they manage to keep track of all of Tolkien's lore, to Tom Bombadil's poetry.

    I personally can't wait to see Tolkien's world totally trashed by hordes of power-leveling script kiddies, talking about pwning the Balrog and camping Orthanc.

    I found this somewhat amusing, speaking of MMORPG + LOTR.

    Funnier than this similar parody, at least.

    Another one ....

    (There's another one out there which is funnier, but I can't find it. My leet Google skills have failed me....)
