From play.tm (via Destructoid): Rumour has it that Turbine have been pushing for the MMO’s Xbox debut for some time, but have struggled as Microsoft refuse to allow a free-to-play business model on their console. However, Microsoft are keen to get online games onto their system and have now finalised a business model for Live, with Turbine in poll position having the game tested and ready for launch. The developer themselves are playing down this chatter – particularly the bit about the Xbox 360 version being ready for an immediate launch. More soon.

“The first time we saw “The Battle of Ballylochlan,” we knew we’d have to spotlight this Celtic masterpiece on a very particular day. Like minstrels of ancient times, Welby and the Lonely Mountain Band wield the arts masterfully, and envelop us in their merriment. Featuring an enthusiastic drum beat, insane Irish piping, and stunning visuals, the movie lets us join them in a St Patrick’s Day themed celebration, on the special day itself. Congratulations again to Welby, and happy St Patrick’s day from the Turbine team!”
The band caught wind of it and now is featuring it on their homepage and plugging LOTRO in their newsletter! Celtic music and LOTR what better combo!? Continue reading “Fan Made ‘The Battle of Ballylochlan’ Video”
