Rumor: Lord of the Rings Online heading to Xbox 360 www.massively.com/2009/04/04/rumor-lord-of-the-rings-online-heading-to-xbox-360/ We've come across a rumor about Lord of the Rings Online over at Destructoid, from Brad Nicholson. If his information is correct, Lord of the Rings Online may have an Xbox 360 release in its future. Nicholson writes, "According to a reliable source, Turbine is currently eyeing their MMO, Lord of the Rings: Online, for an Xbox 360 release. The source added that Turbine has hit a snag, unrelated to the development process. Microsoft, allegedly, won't commit to allow Turbine to utilize a free-to-play model, which is what the developer desires for the console version of LotRO."
Joystiq also got in touch with Turbine's PR director Adam Mersky, who stated, "We saw that rumor, too... We're not talking about what we're working on specifically, only that we're making a console MMO and actively working with Microsoft and Sony." Mersky added that their unnamed console project is progressing and that they'll have something to show by this summer. EQNext press http://EQ3Wire.com EQ2: Freeport server |

I don't see it happening tbh.I dunno why turbine would even wanna bother working with MS after the way they handled AC and AC2 they are better off as a company to stay away from Microsoft even if it is just the 360 |

square tried this with ffxi but most people just complained about microsoft with this alltho that game was designed for consoles.
I just dont see this working alltho it might boost sub numbers which if they like it they would prolly swap over to pc. |
