Lord of the Rings Online Music System

Well this is something different for an MMO.

    They took my idea. I've been wanting this in an MMO since UO. I wonder why it's taken so long to implement something like this.

    The RIAA is going to come down hard on them. Who is going buy CDs when they can just load up LotR and listen to the latest hits?

    Oh god. That's awesome.

    I can imagine now that there will be guilds formed just to be bands.

    They need something like this in the Warhammer MMO. Because I don't want to have multiple MMOs to pay for every month.

    I liked the music system in Asheron's Call 2, but this is a step up. Good job, Turbine.

    Do you like WOW/EQ?

    If so, you might like LOTRO.

    I havent played for a few iterations, and it wasnt a positive experience.

    Seems nifty from the viewing side, but aren't minstrels basically healers in this game? Not sure how I'd feel about standing amongst my team as they battle while fingering the keys for a song.

    C, C, C, D E, E, D E, F G. C' C' C' G G G E E E C C C, G, F E, D C.

    (Not that I know anything about the gameplay; just gave the game's website a quick overview a while back, so my understanding is probably quite flawed)

    Edit: Ack, ignore me. Upon actually reading the article, I see that there's absolutely no stated connection between the instruments an a player's class or gameplay mechanics. D'oh!

    Yeah, I only played in the really early alpha periods, and I didn't find it anything particularly special. I didn't find anything particularly wrong with it, either. I was just mostly put off by MMOs in general.

    Also, I could stab orcs with arrows and then shoot them with it. That kept me entertained for a while.


    And healing your group by doing a victory cry over a defeated enemies' corpse.

    So how many players will be elves dressed all in green named "L1nk" that grab the closest approximation to an ocarina and play tunes from OoT?

    Not nearly as many as elves with long blonde hair named "L3golas" that spend all day jumping on oliphaunts and cybering with innocent bystanders.

    I played in the stress test and then after in the beta some, and it wasn't horrible...but I wasn't that impressed. Everything felt rather generic.
