Running Rings Around: Siege Of Mirkwood

Lord Of The Rings Online doesn't seem to be getting a huge amount of press these days, but it's nevertheless trundling onwards, with Turbine seeming to put a huge amount of work into expanding the game. The attitude of the few LOTRO players I know seems to reflect that: they're not talking up their game to any great degree, but they seemed pleased enough with how it has been handled, and how Turbine have delivered more stuff since launch. Siege Of Mirkwood is the second expansion, which apparently concludes the quest arcs set in motion by last year's Mines Of Moria. It's also supposed to introduce randomised, scaleable instances, which sounds like a useful notion, as well as doing the obligatory level cap raise, this time to 65. It's due for a December 1st release, and the official trailer sits under the nether-click. It's got elves in, and a Ring Wraith fortress. Spooks.
