Lord of the Rings Online News - Fishing Hobby Hits Middle Earth

Posted by Keith Cross on Apr 15, 2008 | 14 comments in our forums

Turbine has announced the addition of the fishing hobby in Lord of the Rings Online, which allows players to fish for food, sport, or just for the halibut.

A most-requested feature has finally arrived: Fishing!

We are proud to reveal the sport of fishing as the first "Hobby" introduced to The Lord of the Rings Online. And what is a Hobby, you ask? A Hobby is an activity that you may choose to participate in for fun or for profit! Similar to LOTRO's crafting professions, a hobby allows players to experience more of the world of Middle-earth, and to interact with the world in new and exciting ways.

And what better way to begin than by finding a nice spot along the bank of a river, casting your line into the water nearby, and basking in the glory of the day while trying to nab a prize-winning fighting fish - or perhaps your next meal!
