One of these fansites in attendance, The Madhouse Tavern, was lucky enough to grab some shaky-cam footage of this gameplay, including the infamous Balrog. As Steefel guides the onlookers through the Balrog's cave, he mentions the fact that this is now "officially the worst beast in Middle-earth" with a whopping 513,250 hit points! The footage shows the lead-up to the monumental creature, and then a bit more as it proceeds to kick some player butt. Check out the video embedded just after the jump, and the Madhouse Tavern's complete write-up of the event at their website for more information!

Personally I mostly check this before 5, so that has a lot to do with it... but there's a pretty small LotRO fanbase here.
That said I'm excited. Looks awesome.

My main problem is that it's SUPER DARK. I turned up my brightness, which helped a lot.
