Okaaay?
The trailer is *cough* nice *cough* albeit mostly a clipshow of old stuff. And the voice acting rather put me off from “being a legend”.
Then the pictures seem shopped
In the first and second one there are Orcs but as far as I know Orcs aren’t present in that particular parts of the Lone-lands.
And the second skirmish picture features a Gorthorog however Dol Guldur is inhabited by Olog-hai, not Gertheryg. Seems like they’ve found some long forgotten picture from the times when the new troll model wasn’t invented. And there’s not bloody fog in the last picture.

O.o Really turbine? defiantly NOT the best video they have made…

Its not the reuse of video footage, the voice acting is sub-par compared to other videos

The Nazgul narrated Mirkwood trailer was way way better than this.

Welllll…..technically F2P is volume one content, so they cant advertise anything from V.2 or any Mirkwood stuff and such.

yeah, they really should have hired the producer(s) of the videos I Am Warden and I Am Loremaster (which, by the way I can no longer find on the web..weird).
Those two videos made you want to “become a legend”!!

Wow that was underwhelming. I was going to send this video to some of my friends in order to encourage them to try the game out. After viewing it, I won’t be sending it to them.
I hated seeing all the orcs and bad guys throughout the entire clip. Show the heros! Show the landscape! By then end of the clip I was cringing in response to the voice acting. Come on.

Agreed, was going to send it to my friends, but changed my mind also

It was okay, not amazing. I don’t really understand why the skirmish screenshots are only for the non-F2P skirmishes, nothing from Tuck or Gondamon.

I assume it’s to help build interest in the premium skirmishes. Probably why they also released screens of the Lone Lands rather than The Shire

I wasn’t too impressed either as I kept thinking the narration should have been saying, “Look! at all the places you won’t go unless you pay to go there!!” Wasn’t that Balrog from Helogrod as well as other characters you can’t fight unless you are WAY past the F2P starter areas?
The “I am Lore-Master” was showcased after the “I am Warden” video was over. I don’t think they called it “I am Lore-Master” but it was put on by the same people. Made me proud to have a Lore-master. = )
