Turbine
has announced that Midway will co-publish The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar (formerly
Middle-earth Online) in North America. After severing ties with VU
Games last year, it looked as if Turbine was going to self-publish the long overdue Tolkien-based MMORPG.
Instead, Midway, undertaking its first MMO venture, has joined the developer-publisher in an effort to release the game
this year.

It is PC only. I can't wait for this. It's the only MMORPG that I'm looking forward to after WoW. The developers say that what players do in the world will actually have a lasting effect on the world which is a 1st I believe for a MMORPG.

No, WoW has world events, just not like lasting lasting stuff. Like you cant move a rock somewhere and its perminatly there. If THAT was allowed, I can totally see contests to see how many rocks can be put in one pile.
That and the AQ gates opening.
