The Lord of the Rings Online NDA has been lifted and I can now talk about my current MMO addition... Yeah!
Beta testing this game has been consuming all my free time for the last 3 months... Stupid game! ;)
Why?
First of all, it's cool because it's built in part (the launcher at least.), on .Net 1.1.
Second, it's a Turbine game (my first introduction to MMO's was beta testing Asheron's Call and so Turbine MMO's have a special place in my heart. ;)
Third, it's Lord of the Rings.. How can you not be excited about that?
Fourth, the game play is easy to pick up and very engaging... It has a great, "just one more quest..." feeling to it. It's just hard to stop playing. Early levels are easy to get, there's little/no grinding (it's a quest driven MMO), and it's playable solo.
Firth, they are supposed to publish an API to access character info (so I can create a blog widget to show off how uber "Dunc" on Meneldor is :)
Well that's enough for now, but I'll post on it more later...
In my world, NDA means New Drug Application. Took me a while to remember that some people use a Non-disclosure Agreement (what we call a CDA Confidential Disclosure Agreement - maybe so we don't get the two NDA's confused.)
ReplyDeleteWell LOTRO is kind of like a new drug... ;)
ReplyDeleteStill, sorry for the confusion. Stupid TLA's (Three Letter Acronyms ;)
