For those of you who enjoy knowing about the behind the scenes work of how a game is created and all the work that goes into it (and who fantasize about doing the same thing for a living in the future) here is a look into the group at Turbine that brought us LOTRO Mines of Moria from G4TV.

There are 2 videos, aptly named Part 1 & Part 2

This is the intro from the site:

Part 1: “This week, Casey and The MMO Report bring you a very special episode focusing on the new Lord of the Rings Online expansion The Mines of Moria. We visited Turbine Studios to get the inside scoop on just what it takes to bring Middle Earth to life in the metaverse. This new expansion brings 10 additional levels, the Runkeeper and Warden classes, and a new Legendary Weapons system that’s sure to add countless hours of tweaking and customization to your daily grind. But the big news is the Mines; a massive Dwarven kingdom that trumps any underground dungeon we’ve seen before. Oh yeah, and you get to chill with a Balrog.”

 

Part 2: “On this Thanksgiving day, we bring you part 2 of our Lord of the Rings Online: Mines of Moria launch special, giving you even more of the finer details of the first retail expansion for the only Tolkien-based MMO. We got some one-on-one time with Turbine’s resident Lore Monkey, a personal tour through the mines themselves, and Casey even got the chance to become an orc.”

Sit back and enjoy!
