Amazon Games VP Christoph Hartmann Explains How New 'The Lord Of The Rings' MMO Will Differ From Tolkien's Novels
Amazon Games Vice President Christoph Hartmann recently detailed how the newly announced The Lord of the Rings MMO will differ from J.R.R. Tolkien's novels.
So, is this at all related to the LotR MMO Amazon was working on with Tencent a couple years ago, or a new thing?
The most important thing you should have learned from New World is do your networking and server architecture properly and not rely on client-side validation. Oh, and have a solid amount of content (especially non-PVP content) at launch.
But, that aside, and the woke garbage aside, these paragraphs immediately turn me off to the game. MMO need constant, early rewards is code for "flood them with lootboxes, gifts, etc." as soon as they log in. And every single MMO (heck, game, not just MMO) that has done that inevitably ends up pushing you to the cash shop so that you can keep buying more rewards. And forget that nonsense.
