Well, I know you would not expect anything different. But seriously, I tried HARD to stay objective during the last hours of Shores of Evendim. But hell,
it's just plain awesome. - They added a huuuge new area with new textures, new architecture, new look, weather system included now - They improved almost all sounds, improved interface issues (new item-icons, new backround, much clearer now) - They included tons of new quests for mid-range players - First raid instance - total music system revamp with bass and drums (YAY) and programmable music - Crafted items are bound now - Consumables are SO easy to craft now, crafting in general appears a lot more balanced at a first glance Guys, I've never ever (maybe Asherons Call) seen updates like THIS happening two months after release. If they keep the pace, I start to believe housing is coming in october (its announced for october, but I was sceptical). Besides they must have a 50 man QA department. Everything in the new zone, of the new skills and traits seems exactly as polished as the rest of the game... PLUS, they again captured the feeling of Evendim and the once great kingdom of Arnor. It's totally like the northern version of Gondor in ruins. A+++ for a great job... Meridion |

I am too low of a level to have really checked out the new area, but I immediately noticed the improved sounds. Of course the UI changes as well, but the sounds are what I appreciated the most as I recently upgraded my sound system and this has turned into the game I would demo the system for someone with. The surround mixing is basically flawless and the sound quality just got bumped up quite a bit!

If Turbine keeps this up, I may actually forgive them for DDO

Is it over yet... |
 I have to admit I was a bit nervous about this expansion. While Turbine always did a excellent job with AC.. well save for one instance I can think of, I wasn't sure how it was going to go on LOTRO. I am totally relieved though now I love the changes to the UI. Every single little thing I asked for was done! From sound, UI, quest flaws, text flaws and class flaws! YAY!!To top it all off I'm farming and making a profit now! Sorta odd being the only elf farmer though... I sure hope they add bagpipes into the music system! Other then that.... KUDOS TURBINE!  |

It is amazing how much they added! Top down and everything in between! LOTRO is a smashing success! I just pray for most of the same on a semi regular basis (2 months?)

Thank you sir, may I have another. |
I must say, I am impressed with what I have seen so far. Turbine gets 2 thumbs way up from me on this one.
 Hope things keep going this way! |
