This is a pretty amusing ‘didja know?’ style interview with Aaron Campbell, one of the live producers of Lord of the Rings Online. For those not in the know, LotRO is one of the bigger MMORPGs on the block, but because it’s not nearly as big as World of Warcraft, it doesn’t get the publicity. It’s a gorgeous-looking game, as you can tell.

I’ve played it, though it was over a year ago, so I couldn’t begin to tell you how the game has progressed since then. Last time I was in there, it was good, but not great. I didn’t like it as much as WoW despite LotRO’s superior crafting system, but it was significantly better than Age of Conan and equal to Warhammer Online.
