Lord of the Rings Online's Book 14 hasn't even released yet, and already we're getting previews of their first paid expansion: Mines of Moria. In a recent interview with Jeffrey Steefel, the folks at Total PC Gaming were able to squeeze out some new info on Mines of Moria, including the top question on everyone's mind: Will we fight the Balrog?

Of course the answer is yes. How many global protests would erupt if players discovered they wouldn't have the opportunity to fight the mighty Balrog? Not only that, the Mines promise to be much more than were shown in the movie. Considering the fact that Forochel was created from a few paragraphs of Tolkien's work, Moria should be an amazing experience. Be sure to read the entire interview for more of Steefel's take on what Moria will bring and just how much further we still have to explore in Middle-earth.

I am going to say the expansion will be release on Tuesday, Nov 18. I am looking forward to MOM since currently LOTRO is my only MMO, yes a gamer can have one love and still be satisfied.

The latest big new area "Forochel" in game, was absolutely stunning. Everything fitted, from quest and monsters to trees, floating isles of ice, northern light in the skies, mystic monsters in the forests. Ice cold pools with little waterfalls and wolves.. Big big promis for the MoM expansion I'd say!
