In the video diary, Art Director Harry Teasley and Lead World Designer Matt Elliott talk about how they built the Mines of Moria and how important it was to get everything just right, according to the lore. As they point out in the video, "Moria is really the inspiration for every dungeon adventure, in every game, since the advent of RPGs." Check out the new screenshots in the gallery below, and the video just after the cut.

I'm totally chomping at the bit to finally play this expansion! I remember reading about the planned Moria elements of MEO and was excited back then! This has been a long time coming for Tolkien fans!

Yeah, tell me about it. I actually dug up some old MEO Moria shots, though, and I have to say I'm super happy they waited lol.
