Some new shots of the Ashenslades, an area within Mirk­wood, were released today.

I always think it’s interesting/funny to see shots of player char­ac­ters from angles I nor­mally never see them from.

Euro­pean cus­tomers have been won­der­ing for a while: when is the Siege of Mirk­wood release date on this side of the pond? A rep­sonse by Code­mas­ters Dev Satine (to ques­tions relat­ing to the new expansion’s Euro­pean pric­ing struc­ture), has revealed the digital-download only expan­sion should be released Thurs­day 3rd Decem­ber (two-days after the U.S. release date).

A lit­tle off topic, but when does pre order ends?
not to soon i hope, dont get money before the end of the month

We will be ceas­ing pre-orders the day before Mirk­wood goes live, which is cur­rently track­ing 3rd Decem­ber for launch.

The news is alto­gether not very sur­pris­ing, with Thurs­day tying in with the Euro­pean “servers are com­ing down” day, and a 2-day gap between release dates hav­ing been used in the past. Of course, it remains to be seen whether this release date sticks… for both Book 7 and Book 8 updates, Euro­pean cus­tomers were repeat­edly stalled in down­load­ing the lat­est patch due to tech­ni­cal errors or glitches in the new patch that required fix­ing first!

Tur­bine sent out a set of shots fea­tur­ing the exte­rior Dol Gul­dur today. Mirk­wood sure can be a creepy place.

Click the thumb­nails below for a much larger view.


Dol Gul­dur is an impor­tant place in The Lord of the Rings (it’s a strong­hold of Sauron’s after all) and was briefly men­tioned in The Hob­bit. For more infor­ma­tion, be sure to check out the Wikipedia entry.
