The Lord of the Rings Online Gets Bigger

Turbine, Inc. and Codemasters Online Gaming have just announced the details of a third free content update for The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar.

This latest update is titled Book 11: Defenders of Eriador and expands the epic MMORPG with over 100 new quests, a new 12-player raid, two new areas in Middle-earth and an all-new player housing system.

"The Lord of the Rings Online has quickly become the hottest online game of the year," said Jeffrey Steefel, the Executive Producer. "Book 11 is our most ambitious update yet. We continue to define the standard in interactive storytelling with the next chapter of our epic story and introduce a wealth of new content including the housing system, which will give players the opportunity to live in their own home in Middle-earth!"

Book 11: Defenders of Eriador will be available to subscribers on October 24, 2007 in North America and a day later on October 25, 2007 in Europe.
