Lord of the Rings Online - Forochel Monsters

Recently, the MMORPG.com team had a chance to check out some of what's coming in Book 13's new area Forochel. In this feature, we present images of some of the new monsters that players will face.

Recently, the MMORPG.com team had the opportunity to get a sneak peek at the upcoming Book 13. This new free content update will introduce players to a new (and frozen) area known as Forochel.

Forochel itself is a cold and inhospitable place where even the elements themselves can sap a character’s morale. As if the biting cold and storms were not enough, Keith Cross managed to grab a few screenshots of some of the new monsters that will threaten characters as they move through this frigid area.

The Grim

Ice Worm

Kilpa-Kita

Ice Giant

And as if all of that wasn’t enough, we’ll let these last images speak for themselves.

No, that is a war mammoth.

Oliphaunt would be much bigger and probably could not survive in such a harsh climate.

I have played today, after months not playing, and I don't like the last changes. PvPM seems much more laggy, fire and other particle effects are more fun.. but somewhat cheesy. I say this patch are adding chessiness to a game that used to be elegant.

I bet the new book will add new chessines and Conan-alike areas :I

Book 13 is on the Test Server  Roheryn ; it won't be live until closer to the end of this month.  However, if you download the test client (for subscription customers) you can play it now.

No one has played it yet (well not for long) as Roheryn server has been down since yesterday after they discovered a problem that was corrupting characters. It is still not up at this time.
