Stratics' own Nelson Thachuk was able to attend this years Penny Arcade Expo and wrote up a nice article of what he experienced.
Turbine may have three products on the shelf (Asheron’s Call, Dungeons & Dragons Online and Lord of the Rings Online), but only one of them made the cut at the Penny Arcade Expo. The winner of this duel was Turbine’s most recent release: Lord of the Rings Online. Their four-sided booth, in the exhibition hall, had a total of eight stations set up for play. Behind each station was the banner of the epic characters we’ve grown to know and love through Tolkien’s tales of Middle Earth and Peter Jackson’s directorial vision of the Lord of the Rings film trilogy. The larger-than-life character in front of my station was none other than Frodo Baggins. As I created my demo character, a dwarf by the name of Thelemorin, I felt as though I was betraying the Shire under Frodo’s watch. I kept imaging him inquiring: “Why aren’t you playing a hobbit?”
