When I first installed LotRO and started to study all the new aspects of the game one of the things that excited me was the concept of farming. Then I tried it. To say the least I was disappointed. You mean all I can grow is pipe weed and a few veggies […]

Eurogamer has posted some screenshots of the upcoming content update, Shores of Evendim.
The screenshots are really spectacular. There’s one particular screenshot where 4 adventurers are seen overlooking the water which really puts into perspective how large the area really is. If these screens are any indication of what’s to come, get […]
