The Lord of the Rings Online Developer Diary

Turbine's official The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar website has been updated with a new developer diary penned by content designer Allan "Orion" Maki. In it, Allan discusses how the team is addressing both solo and group playstyles:
At the heart of The Lord of the Rings Onlineâ„¢: Shadows of Angmarâ„¢ lies our solo quests and content. Yes, an epic tale is taking place in Middle-earth. The world is changing and not for the better, but that story is not at the heart of every matter that needs doing in the world. Middle-earth is evolving and even the smallest things you do as a character can impact someone, somewhere; they may even affect people you haven't met. News of your deeds will spread, and your name may become synonymous with "hero" all throughout Middle-earth. This is not to say that the world will change in an immediately perceptible way, but you will be sure to catch someone's eye.
