LotRO PvP gets a revamp with Moria

Filed under: Fantasy, Lord of the Rings Online, Expansions, Game mechanics, PvP


Battling other players in Lord of the Rings Online's Ettenmoors will become a bit more balanced (read: challenging), once Mines of Moria releases next month. According to a recent dev diary, the devs have been aware of some issues with the PvP zone since the game launched, and have performed a complete revamp just in time for Moria.

Changes include:
  • More fortifications for the main monster-player and player bases to prevent camping the exits (we're talking to you, Burglars and Wargs)
  • Pathing and structural changes to increase the challenge within camps and keeps
  • The introduction of artifacts and flags
  • Controllable bridges
  • The removal of hot points
  • A proper place for the five outposts throughout the map, used for smaller skirmishes

Turbine promises that the PvP love will continue in an upcoming dev diary which will explains the dependencies of each location and more about artifact-control and flag-play.
