The Lord of the Rings Online has a new feature article up, this time bringing us to the lands of Middle-Earth and the creatures that roam there.

 

There are too many mobs roaming the world to count-from the farms of the Shire to the hellish pits of Angmar, from the meekest shrews to a mighty balrog-but in each breed of creature there are distinctive enemies that define their type.Some of these evil captains, fell queens, and renowned specimens serve as the targets of vital Quests to undermine the Enemy. Others simply possess rare treasures like beryl shards and mithril flakes that the members of any stout fellowship might wish to add to their collective coffers.

EVE Online devs have announced that the next large expansion isn’t due until winter and, as a result, they are planning an Apocrypha ‘mini expansion’, AKA Apocrypha 1.5, in August. Find out what’s in store below:

Things have been silent on the dev front since the release of Apocrypha this March. Apocrypha was a major success for EVE Online. We rose to new heights in terms of concurrent players and subscribers, and more importantly, we are very proud of the new features and functionality it provided.

 

Now we are working hard on our winter expansion. Winter is quite far away, and we felt because Apocrypha was really early for a summer expansion, we should put out a mini-expansion, rather than wait until winter to release all the stuff we are working on. It should come out mid-August if all goes well. We refer to it as Apocrypha 1.5.

As usual, a ton of information was presented at Fan Faire about upcoming features and changes to the game. This is a summary of information gleaned from four panels and the Annual Address. We will be reporting on specific panels througout the week.

Expansion Information

The next EQII expansion, as most folks know by now, is Sentinel’s Fate, and is planned for release in February 2010.  This is planned to be a level 80 - 90 expansion. It will take place in Odus, known to EverQuest players as the home of the Erudite and Kerra. It will include level cap raises to level 90 across the board and 50 more AA points. There will also be new Guild Hall Amenities.

We will start to see lore for the expansion right after Fan Faire. Keep an eye on EQII Players and the official forums - forum quests were mentioned. The Void storyline will conclude. Amongst other things we will learn:

• what happened to Erudites
• the fate of Al’Kabor
• Ratonga lore
• more about the Prophecy of Shissar, and the End of Days storylilne
• the fate of Odus, which could very well determine the fate of the whole world.

There will be two overland zones and a small group contested zone (The Hole) and at last count 12 new group instances. More x2 zones are planned, with varying difficulty. There will be new Heritage Quests in the expansion.
