LOTRO content update screens are serene, show new area and people photo

Since mega expansion 'Mines of Moria' went live, things have been quiet on the Lord of the Rings: Online front. No more, says Turbine. Today the developer behind the MMO released a few new screenshots of their upcoming content update, 'Volume II: Book 7: Leaves of Lorien.'

The first few screenshots are from the area of Lothlorien, the area that the new content will expand to. The last five or so are images of the characters. We’re told that Turbine has “revamped the player experience for elves, dwarves, and the race of man.” Apparently, these images illustrate those changes.

I’ve yet to really get into LOTRO, so I’m not exactly sure that this content is what players are clamoring for. LOTRO players, is this what you needed? Non-LOTRO players, what will it take to get you into the game?

I love me some LotR:O, and book 7 will add some great new content now that Mines of Moria is starting to wear thin.

A number of friends are looking to start playing with the patch, since they've done some interesting upgrades to a number of starting areas. That's in addition to finally adding quest locations on your map, which has been a huge problem for most new, casual players.

So, it's a new zone?

i played it a while ago. After a while, i just lost interest. nothing will ever bring me back. it's definitely aimed towards fans of the LOTR series and lore. it's fun, but still. it's just another MMO.

I like it better than WoW, but I won't go back.
