The Lord of the Rings Online Developer Diary

Turbine's official The Lord of the Rings Online website has been updated with a new developer diary penned by Chris "Hakai" Clay. In it, Chris reveals some good information about the game's morale system. A snip:
Pondering the nature of Hope in desperate times brought us to the idea of heroic perseverance, which is the ability to keep going where others might fail. It is the knack of a determined hero to defend against an incoming attack and, at the very last instant, turn it before it strikes true. This courage manifests itself repeatedly in the books, be it when Sam fights Shelob at Cirith Ungol or as the Fellowship continues its quest after Gandalf's fall at Durin's Bridge in Khazad-Dûm.
