Amazon's New Lord of the Rings MMO: A Game Changer?
TL;DR
Amazon Games' upcoming Lord of the Rings MMO will be "worlds apart" from the existing Lord of the Rings Online, according to Amazon Games VP Christoph Hartmann. The new MMO, based on J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, aims to be the largest MMO in the market and appeal to everyone, not just MMO fans. Hartmann has a lot of respect for LOTRO, but believes people will move on from it once Amazon's game releases. The new MMO is still in early stages of production and will only be released when it's ready.
