Join TTH on a journey into one of the most legendary forests in Middle Earth

The latest chapter in the lore rich fantasy MMOG Lord of the Rings Online is less than two months away, and open beta is just around the corner. Curiosities are running high in the LotRO community and Ten Ton Hammer has been granted a live look at the fresh new content and we want to share! Join Medawky as he embarks into Siege of Mirkwood with Live Producer Aaron Campbell of Turbine, delving into the fabled forest and uncovering what the future has in store for this epic franchise.


Even though open beta is still a couple of weeks out it is fairly obvious that the bulk of the content is in place for the upcoming expansion. With many sites dubbing this a “mini-expansion”, I was surprised and delighted by the overall depth and scope of this newest installment to the franchise. With only close to two hours of hands on time I can already tell you that the aforementioned branding of Siege of Mirkwood is a complete misnomer, this is no mini-expansion but rather a vast enhancement that will add a whole new layer of playability to the game.
Be sure to check out the entire article here.

Sounds good, but with my play-style I'd be done with all the content in a week or two. I don't enjoy raids at all, so I stick to 6-man and under instances and events. I do however plan to return someday and continue with my Minstrel, but I'll definitely be waiting until well into the next expansion or further to guarantee myself several months of content to catch up on.

Course with FFXIV and SW:TOR in the not so distance future looming above us all, it will be tough to wanna return to LOTR...
