Middle-Earth Online Interview

Norwegian website Gamer.no has dished up an interview with Turbine Entertainment's Christopher Taylor, producer of Middle-Earth Online. Here's a little something to get you started:
Q: When it comes to transportation, what kind of choices do we have here? Will players be able to buy, tame and/or ride mounts? And will there be ships or magical teleportation portals?

A: Horses and other mounts will have to wait for another day, around the time we get to Rohan. There are ways of moving faster through the world, using preset travel locations (like a ferry or a stable), if you have earned the right to do so.
