LOTRO have just announced the second expansion to their MMO, entitled The Siege of Mirkwood. This is the follow-up to their launch ‘volume’ Shadows of Angmar which took part across Eriador, and the first expansion Mines of Moria which took players under the Misty Mountains and into Lothlorien. I wonder how much farther east they’ll go before they start to move south? I suppose they realise that once they get to Mordor there’s not anywhere left to go.
I haven’t played LOTRO since I took part in the beta, but that’s only because I was busy and without a computer decent enough to handle the environments. When I finally (!) get my new PC, I’ll be plunging into Middle Earth for a bit.
