LOTRO Gap of Rohan dev diary released
Turbine has released a developer diary for Lord of the Rings Online’s Rise of Isengard expansion. It has the developers chatting about what went into designing the Gap of Rohan. It is posted below along with new screenshots from the game. Honestly, I have to say, the video clips of the game in it do not do it justice. It is a rather gorgeous game.
