With PAX behind me, I thought I’d take the time to share some of my thoughts about my time at the Turbine booth, and some of the things that came up in our interview with Rowan. We’ll have more information up in the next few days, but I wanted to give a quick overview today.

First, and I think most importantly, the Turbine booth was full every time we walked by. There were lots of people trying out DDO and LOTRO every time we walked by, and they seemed to be enjoying it. We met many people out on the convention floor, at restaurants, and waiting in line that were either currently playing LOTRO or were going to once the game went F2P.

Our friend Michael, who sent us those great pictures from PAX Prime yesterday, had some time to stop and speak with Turbine staff. He gathered some great information and asked some questions to share with us. Thank you Michael!


PAXlogoPAX was very busy today. It was a sea of gamers – all excited about this years biggest titles. They had the full Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) team Patience, Sapience, producer, and more. They were all very kind and as open as they could be.

There were no new announcements. With F2P right around the corner, the whole team is focused on September 8th and 10th launches. Turbine is applying much of the lessons learned from the DDO launch to ensure a smooth transition to F2P. When pressed for specifics, they commented the four new servers vs. DDO’s two and said that additional servers were ready should the need arise. Furthermore, Turbine has been staffing-up hiring customer service reps as we as development team members. This is to support the expected influx of new players as well as to develop new content. In general, Turbine plans to monitor everything very closely.
