![]() ![]() Tolkien waffled on for the majority of the time he was writing The Fellowship of the Ring. In another setting, perhaps, this would be an easy thing to figure out, but the geography of Middle-earth nearly bristles with spires of one kind or another, from Saruman’s tower at Isengard to the steeples of Minas Tirith, capital city of Gondor to Barad-dûr, the perch of the Eye of Sauron - and all of them play large roles in The Lord of the Rings.īut it’s a valid question, one that even J.R.R. So each Wednesday throughout the year, we'll go there and back again, examining how and why the films have endured as modern classics. I'm not opposed to the brawler class by the way, it just doesn't fit in with all that stuff.2021 marks The Lord of the Rings movies' 20th anniversary, and we couldn't imagine exploring the trilogy in just one story. So plenty of games to pick from if ur looking into styles similar to the movies.Īll of that makes perfect sense, until. Originally, the first LOTR MMORPG was going to be called Middle-Earth Online with a target of 2004 for being released (which didn't occur but would have been less than a year after the Return of the King had released in December 2003) but fell out of 2004 with Turbine finally taking over in 2005 and going forward with what would become The Lord of the Rings Online.Įnd of the day, the various Parties that are involved with LOTRO would all have to agree to such and get the rights to the Movies but this is highly unlikely and at this point of LOTRO's life cycle, with all the game needs done, SSG staff, so on and so forth even before discussing anything to do with Money basically means that LOTRO will still be sticking to it's style of things being based off the Books and working with the Licensor for what can be approved.Ī newer game would have a much easier time than an older ongoing game to get any form of rights and most likely, in 2022 and beyond we'll probably see an increase in LOTR Based games mostly pertaining to Movie + TV Series styles of graphical depictions.Įssentially this, and given that purchasing the license itself is a costly matter, at its current state they seem to be more focused in updating the graphics and their servers (Cord mentioned this before but im not sure if it's been done already).Īt any rate there is/are the BFME series, the Return of the King game, Shadow of War/Mordor games + its rumored open world game in development, and finally the Gollum game coming out. This is the original premise of where LOTRO comes from. The original idea was to produce Computer Games and Video Games based on the Lord of the Rings Books. The original idea for a LOTR MMORPG started in 1998, this was even before the 1999 to Dec 22nd 2000 original shooting of the LOTR Movies. The app i speak of is called lord of the rings rise to war. Other than the excuse of lotro buying the books license why can't they purchase the movies designs? ![]()
