Lord of the Rings Online continues to live long and prosper in the dark swamp of MMORPGs through its immersive world and lore. That world is set to grow a little larger with the release of the Riders of Rohan expansion. Among the new offerings is a mounted combat system, and a slew of new quests to showcase the joy of smashing orcs from horseback. Check out this article for a score of screenshots from the new expansion. VG24/7 has the story.
It will be interesting to see how well LotRO does mounted combat, especially the horses themselves. Will they be creatures with their own personality and actions, or horse-shaped vehicles?
