Two New LotRO Character Classes Revealed

Developer Turbine released some new screens of the upcoming Mines of Moria expansion for Lord of the Rings Online and in them we get our first glimpse of two new character classes; The Rune-keeper who, aside from keeping runes (duh!), will be prolific in magic with the ability to cast high-level healing AND destructive skills (see "badass" in the dictionary). The other class, The Warden, is one of those hefty brawler types that will basically beat the crap out of anything in its way (not too exciting IMO...).

The Lord of the Rings Online Mines of Moria expansion is due to hit stores in mid-November and will retail for $39.99 (or whatever that equates to in Middle-Earth currency).

New Info on LotRO: Mines of Moria

If you've been digging for new info on the upcoming expansion for Lord of the Rings Online (titled Mines of Moria), well then...join me as we simultaneously scream JACKPOT!

Today developer Turbine announced that it's teaming up with Warner Bros. Interactive Ent. to deliver the expansion in several different ways. First, if you already have the game, you can simply get the Mines of Moria Digital Expansion and go from there. Easy enough. Secondly, if you're new to the LotRO scene, you can get The Lord of the Rings Online: Mines of Moria Complete Edition, which contains the full game, the expansion and all updates thus far. Finally, if you've leveled all the way to "Super Geek", you can go all out with the Collector's Edition of the expansion which includes everything from the Complete Edition along with goodies like in-game items, a nearly two foot cloth map of the mines, art and music collection, starter guide and a real life, gold-plated version of the infamous ring...with your very own chain and pouch.

I know what my wife is getting for Christmas...

Oh, and check out the trailer for the expansion right here.
