Amazon's Lord of the Rings MMO is coming for LOTRO's players.
."We wanted to give everyone in the community an update and assure you all that LOTRO is not going away," it reads."Like you, we, and our partners at Middle-earth Enterprises are huge fans of LOTRO. It is beloved, it is sixteen, it is evergreen. LOTRO is like the long-lived Ents, Elves and Dwarves; and we mere mortals, are the stewards of LOTRO and its community. Standing Stone has every intention of growing and supporting this community.
While Standing Stone's statement focuses on its MMO and doesn't sling any mud, Amazon Games VP Christoph Hartmann takes some swipes—albeit diplomatic ones—at its rival in a."I think they actually can co-exist. Even the most likely scenario is… for people just to move over, because the other one is an old game. It's not a bad game, but the industry moves on at some point, and it's a long time from their release to ours.
Hartmann also claims that the two MMOs will be"worlds apart" and that, while LOTRO's fanbase is"dedicated", it's"not huge". While Amazon is being a bit more aggressive here, Hartmann is probably right. If you're a Lord of the Rings fan and MMO player, why wouldn't you check out the new Lord of the Rings MMO? And Amazon has already shown how hungry people are for new MMOs,I don't think that necessarily means LOTRO is going to vanish.
We also don't know when Amazon's MMO will actually appear, or if it will even make it to launch. Amazon's enjoyed some major successes, but has also experienced lots of failures and cancellations. The future, then, is a bit murky.Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.
