LOTRO Video Dev Diary - Crafting explained





Jeffrey Steefel - producer of LOTRO - talks about crafting in the game.
Crafting is an interesting proposition. It has factored into games in a lot of different ways, sometimes as heavy features, sometimes as cursory play experiences. The idea of crafting in Middle-earth is a weighty one; items have power in Middle-earth, and for a number of reasons.

LOTRO music system: player performs "Dust in the Wind"





What do instruments do in LOTRO?
One of the extra layers of polish brought to Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar is a music system.
The music system allows players to purchase an instrument from a vendor and play the instrument using the keyboard.
Note that music is NOT pre-recorded - it's quite breathtaking when you see a player doing online performance, it makes you want learn lotro lute playing, too :)

Don't think that lotro slows down - Turbine says that the latest version of the music system compensates for lag allowing for bands to perform and sync properly.

This lotro instrument video here shows a player in the open beta performing "Dust in the Wind"

As for music macros for lotro - yes, you can play instruments in LotRO using LOTRO Music Converter.
For newest version and ongoign thread on how to play instruments in LotRO, check out http://community.livejournal.com/lotro_music/ (look for "lotro music convertor download" link there).
