“We can’t have the elves or dwarves fighting each other, and you can’t play an Orc. The main theme of the entire IP is that you are a good guy battling the forces of evil,†said Adam.
Turbine has solved the conundrum by providing what they call “Monster Play†providing a solution which is at once also a unique feature. At level 10, players may choose to play an NPC in a PvP arena. They may perform quests as the NPC by attacking good races â€( beat up a few hobbits or elves, or fight against other player characters. The “Monster†is not persistent, but the xp gained from the play is applied to their regular character.
