Middle-Earth Online Site Update

Turbine's official Middle-Earth Online website has been updated with a new dev diary that discusses mountains being part of the game's landscape. Check it out:
It wouldn't be possible to have a Middle-earth without mountains. Mountains of the mountainous variety, so big that if you're way up there on the top you might not be able to see the ground because it's lost in the fog somewhere. These aren't just little gamey walls to keep you nicely fenced in. These are giant chunks of the landscape that loom up and mock you with labyrinthine paths infested with things that aren't too pleased to be sharing the path with you. You can't walk up the sheer walls of these things. There are paths, but they're narrow and they don't come with guardrails. If you fall off of one of these suckers, the trolls are going to scrape up your corpse with a spatula.
