Dev Diary: Evendim Matt “Scenario” Elliott (Worldbuilder)
The Lord of the Rings OnlineTM: Shadows of Angmar TM (LOTRO) has been live for about a month now, and you’ve been exploring the lands of Eriador while uncovering the evils of Angmar at every step. You’ve restored the Quick Post in the Shire and helped to push back the evils stirring in the Misty Mountains. Some of you may even have reached the city of Carn Dûm itself and confronted its steward.

So, where to next? As LOTRO’s developers, we had a number of options available. Many locations, both obscure and well known, came across our plate when planning out the first steps into our content update plan. In the end, we settled upon one of the most requested locations in Eriador – Lake Evendim and the Twilight Hills!

Kick your shoes off, grab your beverage of choice, and relax as we give you a sneak peek at the steps involved in the creation of our first content update: The Shores of Evendim!
