I just saw here on Massively that Turbine, makers of Lotro, and Tolkien Enterprises, have agreed to extend the game maker’s license at least till 2014, with an option to extend it further till 2017. So Lotro is definitely going to be a long-term player in the whole MMO market.
This news isn’t such a surprise since at the moment only a small portion of Middle-Earth, Eriador, can be explored by players, leaving a rather vast number of development possibilities for the rest of the world.
This is great news as far as I am concerned. Although I was initially a bit disappointed by the game, I have gradually warmed to it and would now enjoy playing it on and off over a long period. What gets me really excited though are the possibilities concerning the further development of Monsterplay. I’m hoping that over the long-term, Turbine will re-examine this part of the whole game experience and grow it to it’s full potential i.e. a proper PvP component of Lotro rather than just a sideshow.
The thought of new PvP zones gets me drooling and I am keeping my fingers crossed that with this renewed licensing deal, in the near future big things will come for Lotro Monsterplay.
Lotro in for the long haul
