| LOTRO has unveiled today its latest expansion Riders of Rohan
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has revealed today The Lord of the Rings Online: Riders of Rohan, the latest expansion to the free-to-play MMORPG developed by Turbine.
The new expansion expands the online world of Middle-earth where
players join forces to ride into the Plains of Rohan. Riders of Rohan
launches in the Fall of 2012 with an increased level cap, the vast
plains of Rohan including iconic locations such as Amon Hen and Fangorn
Forest, the new Mounted Combat system and much more.

The Lord of the Rings Online: Riders of Rohan new features:
- Advance to level 85 – Continue your legend in the
next chapter of The Lord of the Rings Online. Experience new adventures
in the epic story, and gain new skills and deeds as you face new
challenges on your journey to 85. - Experience the Riders of Rohan – Join with the
Rohirrim and ride across the sprawling Plains of Rohan; witness the
breaking of the Fellowship at Amon Hen; forge alliances with the Ents of
Fangorn; and aid Éomer, adopted son of Théoden, as he seeks to protect
his homeland from the growing Shadow.
- Introducing Mounted Combat – Ride into Combat atop
your loyal War-steed as you defend the people of Rohan from the forces
of Isengard and Mordor. Customize your War-steed’s armor and level its
skills over time to aid you in mounted defense of King Theoden’s lands.
Mount your steed and gather your fellows to fight against Warbands,
contingents of roving warg riders that have been scouted all over the
Plains of Rohan! It falls to you to head off and defeat this new threat
before they over take the land.
“2011 was another banner year for The Lord of the Rings Online
with consistent growth for the game, a successful unification of our
European and North American services and the success of Rise of
Isengard, our best selling expansion to date.” said Kate Paiz, Executive Producer of The Lord of the Rings Online. “This
is going to be another outstanding year as we celebrate our fifth
anniversary and introduce a wealth of new content throughout the year,
ending with our arrival in Rohan. One of our largest expansions ever,
Rohan is expected to be twice the size of the recent Rise of Isengard
expansion and includes the most new game systems and technology we’ve
introduced since 2008′s Mines of Moria.”
