EXCLUSIVE: Lord Of The Rings Online To Be MySpace Of Gaming
More than just a private hobbit... erm habit.
In SPOnG's exclusive interview with Jeffrey Steefel, Executive Producer, Lord of the Rings: Shadows of Angmar (Online) today, SPOnG discovers that the MMO genre, much like Sony's PlayStation Home, is now attempting to break out from straight forward gaming.
During the extensive interview, Steefel exclusively reveals to SPOnG's Adam Hartlely "Our intentions are to expand the whole social experience of Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar onto the web".
When pressed on what this could mean to the genre, Steefel tells Hartley, "If you think about it, this is the big thing now. ‘Web 2.0’ or whatever they want to call it. You know, normal people are now getting comfortable – this is not just kids anymore – it’s normal people grouping and sharing and doing all this kind of stuff through the internet. And if you think about it the MMO is the ultimate expression of that."
