LOTRO Content Update Confirmed for November

In my earlier predictions I did hit a couple of points dead on, but also quite wrong in some areas.  Kate Paiz does lay out quite a bit of information in her Producer’s Letter.

Her comments on how they’re looking to develop things going forward was quite welcome as it echoes the thought that this is a new life for LOTRO and Turbine needs to shift its methodology to match that.

The other part, and this is one piece I got wrong is that they are splitting up the Epic Quest line from their updates.  I’m a bit mixed by this but I can understand why they’re doing it as it will allow them to split gameplay from story and do smaller updates more often.  I’m optimistic that this will work out, but I can see it as a potentially bad thing.

As for the update, it is slated for November (score one for me) and will include:

I’m a little bummed that we’re not getting any new land-mass but if this split allows them to get out more content on a more routine basis I think I’ll be ok with it.  So put me in the cautiously optimistic group.

More dev diaries are on the way including a vault and tasks one, and I’m assuming one on the class changes but good stuff in the works!
