John "Can't Fake the" Funk reports from the show floor at PAX 2008.
When Asheron's Call launched in November of 1999, the development team at Turbine had an ambitious plan in mind: every month, they would update the game, not just to add content but to further the game's story. With the game's ninth anniversary right around the corner, the AC team has hit another huge milestone: August's update is the game's 100th.
I sat down with Producer Dave Javier and Community Manager Andy Cataldo to chat about the evolving world of Dereth and both their favorite memories from the path as well as what they were looking forward to in the future of Asheron's Call.
Asheron's Call and Turbine have hit the record books with the one hundredth update. This is a particularly impressive feat given the short-term viability of most games. Celebrate with them by reading the official release...
The latest monster added to the Lord of the Rings Online lorebook is the Bolgrukh. While easy on the eyes, this is definitely one you don't want to mess with. Find out why after the jump.
Turbine released a boatload of images related to their 100th update of Asheron's Call, including this one:
You can find all of the images in our picture gallery, here. The Ancient Powers event kicks off tomorrow, August 26th. Feel free to submit your findings during this historic event to our patch tree!
Turbine let us know about some upcoming downtime:
All Turbine Services, Games, Forums and http://myaccount.turbine.com will be offline for maintenance on Monday, August 25th from 7:00AM to 11:00AM Eastern (-4 GMT). Thanks for your patience, and we'll see you back in the game soon!
Turbine posted this announcement regarding the summer festival in Lord of the Rings Online:
Wanted the summer festival horse but hated the gaudy colors? Missed a few days of Inn League reputation and want to know what's behind those doors? Wish you'd kept that music box?
We're bringing the summer festival back for a limited time so players have a chance to exchange their horses and finish out their Inn League reputation. Please note that if you destroyed your festival tokens or festival fish, we cannot reimburse them and you will need to obtain them again. We hope you enjoy the return of the summer festival, which will run from August 22 to September 1st!
This should make a lot of folks happy!
