In 2015 much of the discourse around The Lord of the Rings Online was one where the neighborhood really did not feel as though the team was doing as much as it could to connect with its players. This was entirely exacerbated many thanks to the extensive downtimes last year. Nevertheless, the recent press with meetings, especially with new producer Raninia, it feels like Standing Stone Games has dome a total 180 - for the much better.

In 2015 seemed like an interesting year for _ The Lord of the Rings Online _. When the pandemic hit, the team at Standing Stone Games provided away much of its mission pack supply totally free as a method to obtain players right into Middle-earth when much of us were stuck at house. This built up a whole lot of goodwill with the community, both brand-new as well as old, a wave that it felt like SSG rode through most of the preliminary months of the pandemic.

However, late last summertime, _ The Lord of the Rings Online _ experienced an extended round of downtime, covering weeks where some, otherwise all servers, were not easily accessible, or were unbelievably unpredictable. Throughout this time, the group interacted some, but it really felt soft, controlled even. Specifically, for me personally, it really did not seem like they were connecting _ sufficient _.

Nevertheless, the last few months have actually seen what really feels like a massive push of interaction by the studio, with neighborhood supervisor Jerry Cordovan Snook and also executive manufacturer Rob Severlin Ciccolini holding Q&A s with the community occasionally, in addition to a round of interviews spearheaded by new manufacturer Oleg Raninia Brodskiy. From these meetings, far more information regarding not simply the instant future of _ The Lord of the Bands _ is being discussed, yet also long-term objectives, such as concrete info concerning the long-mentioned, yet still not provided, Legendary Item revamp, in addition to readdressing the money making in _ The Lord of the Rings Online _.

Meetings with electrical outlets like ourselves, as well as pushes with _ LotRO _ material creators have produced buzz around the Games once again, something I have not really felt for fairly some time. It's revitalizing to see so much exterior communication from the workshop, specifically one that for a very long time has actually felt reclusive and also not as communicative as the neighborhood was worthy of.

My hope is that this continues well in the future and also does not end when _ Gundabad _, the LI spruce up as well as the money making changes take place. The actual test will certainly be just how the communication holds up throughout the following situation. Will we see a Standing Stone Games more honestly attending to the concerns of its gamers in a prompt manner, or will we see much of what the area was worried concerning in the summertime of 2020? Time will definitely tell.
