"There are many reasons to hate Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies. There's the dwarf-tossing. Alone, that's unforgivable. There are the myriad, meaningless plot changes. They're far too numerous to mention. But worst, worse than even randomly altering the flow of Tolkien's epic, is the omission of Tom Bombadil and Goldberry. For that, Jackson, you go to Hell."
Ooooh, I stopped reading right there. That's all been said and done a million times by "fans" and seeing it done now, two years after the fact, is even worse. Was the article any good at all, anyone? Or should I look at some other preview? Also, LOTR Online... I'm not too sure about the whole idea. Gaming with "Zaur0n_1337" doesn't really sound like that much fun.

The most exciting looking thing about this Lord of the Rings game is the Auto Assault banner advertisment directly above it.

I didn't get it either then, if its fanboy rage its funnier then the 'joke' it would be otherwise to be honest. Still, sounds like a very interesting game - does the 250 hours of play thing and the 'down the line' comment mean its going to be more of a traditional RPG rather than an open-world MMORPG affair?
Also: after writing the previous paragraph I'm forced to concede that I'm hardly in a position to criticise anyone elses. :)

"I don't know what all the fuss is about Tom Bombadil anyway....I thought that part of the book was boring and read more like a kiddies novel."
I think he based Bombadil on a toy his children had... I think. If you've read Return of the Shadow and the other books by Chris Tolkien about LOTR you'll know how fluid the writing of The Lord of the Rings was was. That made me less concerned about the changes the filmakers made. |

I look at this game and all I can think is "what a great single-player game it would make..." :P It could perhaps have been something to sink my teeth into after 500+ hours of Oblivion. But no, they're going to hump the mmorpg market with it. Oh joy.
Oh, yeah. First paragraph. Not funny. Boo. Hiss. |

Ah, yes. Two of the defining points of maturity: Intolerance and impatience. Someone displaying those virtuous traits could never be expected to read such a childish, uninteresting and above all irrelevant passage. Relevance to the story and world it weaves be damned! We damand more orcs! |

Hey, anyone know how I go about investing in Codies - if this is a success it'll make them very rich indeed :)
