Pretty disappointed this ended with a contract dispute. Could have happily lost myself in a big new LoTRO MMO.

Regardless of whether this was going to succeed or not, Blizzard must be laughing their arses off. Another free pass to keep shitting out trash WoW expansions for years to come.

I remember the fitrst LOTRO MMO game. The combat that was so disjointed it actually had a queue for your attacks? Yeah...

The combat was pretty atrocious if you were used to more connected/fast paced actions, but I remember a lot of the seasoned/vocal vets liked it at the time. Think the devs might have been afraid to change it too much, or perhaps the engine functioned better that way, who knows. I really enjoyed the time I spent in the game world though.

Not really a surprise since LOTR Lead Designer left weeks ago for Riot:

I doubt it's only because of Tencent.

I still remember being excited for Middle Earth Online back in the day before they changed it.

So Pantheon has survived longer than arguably the most recognizable name in adventure, storytelling, and fiction funded by the most lucrative company in the world?

Welcome to 2021....

Let's be honest, it was probably going to be some action combat bullshit anyways.

Honestly, this is a good news for me. I'd rather see LOTR, actually any franchise I like, hybernate until ~2030. Darwin will hopefully finish his work by then and we will be cleansed of woke trash, or we will eventually get hit by a huge meteorite. Win in either case.

If y'all get another 4 years of wokeness after the current Harris term, Eru himself is gonna Numenor the fuck out of your entire continent.

Might check this out. Sucks that all these progression servers are launching at the same time. WoW TBC, EQ Mischief, and now this.

I'd actually like a Rift classic server before they nerfed all the dungeons into the ground. THen try to create more content from the ground up.

And also before they nerfed/homogenized Souls to "balance" their shitty pvp battlegrounds. Which pre-launch they promised they would never do.
