“Important revisions” to Monster Play, too.
The Lord of the Rings Online may never get another proper expansion pack, producer Aaron Campbell has told Eurogamer – the free-to-play relaunch has taught Turbine “a lot” about “pacing” of updates. But don’t worry – next year’s trip to Isengard will be just as good.
“Expansions classically have a few things tied to them,” Campbell educated. “They have something along the lines of a new system; they typically have a level cap tied to them; and they have some epic piece of content or arc to hang their hat on – an important place in the world that people want to go to.
“What we’re learning as we build free-to-play is that we can release parts of the world at a time. So our next major update – and we’ll be talking more about this soon – starts to extend the world out for free-to-play players. They’ll be able to get up to level 65 and see all the world that’s available to them.
