Turbine To Publish Middle Earth Online
John Callaham writes "Computer Games Magazine got a chance to chat briefly on the phone today with Turbine's Vijay Lakshman to get a few more tidbits on their plans for the MMO title Middle Earth Online now that they are developing and publishing the long awaited game." From the article: "Acquiring the license to produce massively multiplayer online games based on Tolkien's world-renowned The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit books is the latest in a series of aggressive business moves by Turbine - the once small contractor that transformed itself into the largest privately-held online game studio in North America."
Just what the word needs, another MMORPG.
I don't think anyone will be happy until everything ends up as a MMORPG. Still waiting for the announcements for:
1. Pokemon Online
2. The A-Team Online
3. Battlestar Galatica Online
4. Cheers Online
5. Zero Wing Online
6. America Online Online
7. World of Frank Stallone
8. Bible World Online
9. Evercowboyneil
10. Final Everworld of Ultima Warcraft's Lineage
Of course, the list could go on...and on a on.

MMORPG Online: An entire online world of developers, creating MMORPGs for whatever franchise seems popular at the moment!
Star Wars Online did well but everywhere you turn there is something Star Wars. The movies are current and there are many console and PC games to keep interest up.
What are you talking about?
Everybody knows that the last Star Wars movie came out in 1983. It wasn't as good as the first two, but it had its moments.
LALALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!
