This is a story about a world at war. The War of the Ring is the central focus of the narrative; through a series of narrow victories, unlikely discoveries, noble sacrifices and selfless alliances, a war is won or lost. And to truly explore that conflict in the context of the game, we wanted that war to be fought, in part, player versus player as well as player versus environment.
Now, from time to time we've dropped the phrase "monster play," and then quickly scampered back to our island fortress and pretended it never happened. As the astute among you may have guessed, this is the cornerstone of our PvP solution.
