Lord of the Rings Online : Session Play
Posted Jul 03, 2007 by Keith Cross
The Lord of the Rings Online official site has been updated with a description of session play, one of the new features that will be added to the game in the next update. Session play will allow players to enter the world and play with a temporary character in the form of a troll, a ranger, or a chicken.
Our first content update, Book 9: Shores of Evendim, expanded the world of Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings OnlineTM: Shadows of AngmarTM with new quests, content, and an entire new region. For our next update we wanted to introduce something a little different!
One of the new features to be introduced in our next big content update is what we're calling Session Play!
Session Play is a new system that allows you to play as a character other than your normal character. These characters do not have permanence, so you don't keep them like you do your Free Peoples or monster play characters. You could play as a Ranger, a Troll, or... a chicken. It's an opportunity to explore Middle-earth from a different - and sometimes unexpected - viewpoint.
