We didn't get a lot of information about it other than it's a shape shifting light armor  caster with an emphasis on control. I'm not quite sure if I'm that thrilled about it or not; the class as a whole will need to be absolutely interesting in order to tempt me into doing the whole leveling game once again. I don't have a problem with the lore of it, and really, it's not as if there were a lot of IP acceptable choices from which to choose. Of more interest to me was the outline of the next five updates, and with that the path of our journey. Turbine's definitely speeding up the pace of our progression through the novels. We'll be exploring the Paths of the Dead, Dol Amroth, Dead Marshes, Pelargir, Osgiliath, Pelennor Fields, and Minas Tirath in 2014 and 2015.

That feels like an expansion of content spread out, which looks to be Turbine's approach going forward. Maybe Mordor in 2016? It doesn't seem that far fetched. There are several other mentions of note, including a 10 level cap increase over the next couple of updates which is fine, I guess, as long as we get cool new skills, some sort of kinship crafting system, tougher combat, chicken hockey, and more epic battles. Yes, Turbine is doubling down on this feature even though the populace doesn't seem to be that thrilled with it. Campbell gives the reasoning that the team needs to finish projects that it starts and that the epic battle system is key to telling future stories, but my instinct is to groan at having to do more of these.

Can't we just have more skirmishes instead? I did like one comment that Campbell made in response to a concern that we were fast approaching the end of the books and, presumably, the game. "Coming to the 'end' of the story only gives us freedom to venture to other parts of the world. I don't see it as an end at all, " he said. I agree with this; there are plenty of other parts of Middle earth that I want to see before LotRO ever closes up shop. While this letter is lacking in specifics, the overall view here is the promise of a busy year where we will be journeying far beyond anywhere our characters have gone before. That's awesome. Next time on Road to Mordor, I'll be giving my  report on Update 13.
