How do you see yourself evolving as an "athlete-turned-entrepreneur? Ten years ago,the thought of a professional gamer would have been absurd.
We want players to play the game continually with multiple classes. But, we also want players to fully develop a single class. So the answer is both. We want both.

Quantifying / Valuing Armor Pen and Haste
2010-03-27 00:00:00
This generally isn't my area of knowledge, but in my experience with level 80 mobs and only having 100 some hit rating due to upgrades and what not of gear as balance I find myself missing them more. Which brings me to the conclusion that wouldn't having an item that gives mediocre AP, a solid hit rating and expertise make it more valuable than say something that procs off the end of a kill or requires a useage with a cooldown?
They always say hit is the most damage worthy stat you can get until you cap.-

Ok, how goes PVE
2010-03-16 00:00:00
Not much really, I assume you know that the basic difference between pvp and pve servers is that you dont become flagged for pvp automatically unless you enter the other factions towns, or attack a pvp flagged npc or player. Otherwise pvp stays off, or fades away after 5 minutes of non pvp action in a non pvp area.
I've played on a pve server since level 1, and I've only got a level 25 on a pvp realm. At 70, for a raider, I wouldnt say it would make much difference other than avoiding large scale pvp fights outside raid - 70 Hunter Terenas EU

Sonic Spear vs. Hellforged Halberd
2010-03-10 00:00:00
Background info. I am currently speced as a BM cookie cutter raid build. I plan on switching to 5 man hero SV build.
I currently have sonic spear. But I am wondering if I should get Hellforged halberd with savegry on it.
Hellforged Halberd + Savegry = 188ap
Sonic Spear + Savegry = 167ap
This is assuming that 1ap=1agi.
So Hellforged Halberd + Savegry should be better for a BM spec correct?
But if I go 5man survival, would it be better to keep Sonic Spear and get + 35 agi because that w...

Ask Turbine
2009-09-16 00:00:00
Jeffrey Steefel looks forward to the launch of Book 9: Shores of Evendim in our weekly Ask Turbine interview. The Executive Producer tells us what to expect on launch day, how Turbine plans to tackle its launch and turns an eye to future Books.
Ask Turbine: On The Shores of Evendim
Based on an interview with Jeffrey Steefel (Exec. Producer, Turbine)
Article by Dana Massey
"Book 9: Shores of Evendim" launches next week and Turbine has done everything in their power to make sure the first major free content update goes as smoothly as the game's launch. In our weekly interview, Executive Producer Jeffrey Steefel ran us through their launch procedures, future development plans and a host of other hot button issues for Lord of the Rings Online fans.
"This is no different than any other launch," Steefel told us and added that he's worked to ingrain that into the culture at Turbine. "[We're] treating it just like the launch of the game."
In the post-World of Warcraft MMO world, this is a commitment to quality that is longer impressive, but expected. Steefel told us that they had spent 10 weeks developing the content for Evendim and roughly another 10 weeks testing, polishing and fixing it. In an industry that seemed like it would patch a game within minutes of finishing the last quest, this is a marked change in philosophy.
They've also set up a war room where key team members from every department monitor all aspects of the patch's integration. This is the exact process they followed during the actual launch of the game and not something people typically hear about for a mere content update.
They anticipate that Shores of Evendim will be a large, but manageable patch for users. Aside from the host of new features like music upgrades, new monsters, quests and zones; fans will also log in to find tighter, cleaner UI. They'll also realize quickly that the area between the Shire and Ered Luin is now a contiguous...
