Rings and Gollum (in General)


Apollo October 16 2008 3:18 PM EDT

If this game is loosely based on Lord of the Rings, why are there no rings? Or is Jon worried the younger generation maybe afraid of Gollum?

Yeah why aren't there any rings?

One reason I could figur that rings don't add anything to the game or gameplay.

One fine example is a ring of giant strength. But we already have plenty of STR boosters.

Maybe rings with new effects. But it takes time to program those.

We could change amulets to rings. And then there's the AoI...

I've been asking for rings for EVER!!!

i think you should worry about pants first before rings lol

You should really add Shoulderpads, too, Jonathan. Everybody (read: WoW) is doing it.

Ammo - used to have it
Back - cloaks
Body - got it
Ear
Feet - got it

Inventory
Legs - uh, some boots? Chain mail leggings for sure.

I think we need a hairdo too. Need to make a Night Elf Mohawk!

:P

Like Mr. T?

I pity the fool who has no Night Elf mohawk.

I'm pretty handy with computers and could probably hack the server to add a Mohawk class... :D

How on earth did you get from rings to mohawks? And Mr T was not in Lord of the Ring's, but I shall accept his mentioning due to jewelry.
Please continue though.

Lord Bob October 16 2008 7:18 PM EDT

"And Mr T was not in Lord of the Ring's,"

No, he was in the WoW commecrial as a Night Elf with a Mohawk.

>>How on earth did you get from rings to mohawks?

Never ask that question again! >:| Our off-topic-ness is totally cool!
