LOTRO developer Turbine has launched a website to promote The Mines of Moria, featuring minigames that will unlock deeds and items in the game itself, as well as revealing more preview content. Steefel said that Turbine was keen to expand the Lord of the Rings Online experience beyond the PC game itself in future, including, potentially, some mobile applications.
"We're already planning on doing that in the States, and it's something that we're hoping to expand and, we're talking to [European publisher] Codemasters about," he said.
"The overall philosophy is that the game is really Lord of the Rings, the content, the franchise. That's the meat of what's there. How you access it should be ubiquitous, eventually. Different platforms are better for different things. The PC 3D world is a platform, the PC application is a platform, web is a platform, console's a platform, mobile's a platform. We've all had these conversations - why can't I sit on the tube and manage my crafting or my inventory? The answer is, there's really no reason. We just have to build it so you can, and you will."
