Casual Stroll to Mordor

One of the few disappointing pieces of information that came out of the announcement of the Helms Deep expansion was that Chance Thomas will not be returning to create the music for the area. However, recently the crew over at the Battle Bards podcast sat down to talk about the amazing work he’s done for LOTRO.

LOTRO players know the name Chance Thomas because of all he has brought us for the online world of Middle-earth.

Community Manager Rick “Sapience” Heaton and Executive Producer Hannah Foell speak with Massively about what’s next for LOTRO.

ZAM has posted an article containing information from their recent hands-on interview with Aaron “Rowan” Campbell (who must be one of the busiest guys in the world).

Today’s interview is with Mornie Alantie. Interview includes German translation.

Recently Curse set down with the Turbine devs and were nice enough to leave the door open to let us watch the interview.
