NOW if LOTRO wants to be the first to have boot attachments such as climbing spikes or snowshoes to negate that negate that slip. Then that would be something

]]> <![CDATA[LotRO Reaches The Ocean]]> So wait, it's called "Doom of the Last-king" and located in the "far, frozen north"?

Dare I point out the resemblance to WoW's expansion, "Wrath of the Lich King"?

]]> <![CDATA[LotRO Reaches The Ocean]]> I figured way more WoW burnouts would be playing LOTRO by now.. it's a really well done game, and very similar in setup and play to WoW. Also, the free content they've released since launch is nothing short of spectacular.. WoW fans get a few new dungeons with each patch, but LOTRO fans get a freakin' OCEAN.

]]> <![CDATA[LotRO Reaches The Ocean]]> I keep meaning to try this game out again. I was always such a big fan of LOTR in my youth and I remember being excited for this MMO. When it was released I could just never justify the monthly fee though.

I do not need to see Aragorn in a leotard.

]]> <![CDATA[LotRO Reaches The Ocean]]> I feel like a putz now for reading the article and thinking, "Hey! EVERQUEST HAD SLIPPERY ICE. I OUGHT TO COMMENT and enlighten the masses."

I think I'm going to have to dig up my LoTRO account and check this out. Battle Wooly Mammoths? Hell. Yes.

]]> <![CDATA[LotRO Reaches The Ocean]]> Very nice Hitchhikers' reference. We all love well crafted fjords.

]]> <![CDATA[LotRO Reaches The Ocean]]> Yeppers EQ had slippery ice AND slime!

Chewbenator

]]> <![CDATA[LotRO Reaches The Ocean]]> Everquest started with slippery ice in permafrost and guk, and then the later expansions included segments of similar terrain (including a hair-thin icy walkway over the top of Velketor's Lab)

]]> <![CDATA[LotRO Reaches The Ocean]]> @Yahto: Yeah me too - let me know if you can dig up anything on it.

]]> <![CDATA[LotRO Reaches The Ocean]]> Mario Bros 2 had slippery ice!

Koztah

]]> <![CDATA[LotRO Reaches The Ocean]]> Does anyone know if previous games had slippery ice? Having a pretty rough time trying to find out.

Yahto

]]> <![CDATA[LotRO Reaches The Ocean]]> Not to split hairs (or hares), City of Heroes had slippery ice long ago.

Cojo21

]]> <![CDATA[LotRO Reaches The Ocean]]> Also, supposedly DOTs for being in the wilderness too long, and possibly for being stuck in a snow storm.

SnakeCL

]]> <![CDATA[LotRO Reaches The Ocean]]> They told us at Connect that it's something along the lines of: "If you stay out in the cold for too long you get cold status effects that make you weak and slow" - "Your'll have to make sure you go around between camps and go to fires, etc. to warm you up again"

Something along those lines at least :)

]]> <![CDATA[LotRO Reaches The Ocean]]> Every bit of ground in Vanguard was slippery. Yes, I sadly played it at one point in my life. And yes I sadly enjoyed bits of it. I'll cry in the corner now.

tnx3

]]> <![CDATA[LotRO Reaches The Ocean]]> @Rathus: Was just about to point that out... Guk for the slimy ground and Permafrost for the ice.

ratba

]]> <![CDATA[LotRO Reaches The Ocean]]> Everquest 1 had slippery ice, and a slippery patch of slimy ground in a dungeon.. that was at release 8 years ago.

Rathus

]]> <![CDATA[LotRO Reaches The Ocean]]> @Mohican: Do we have any examples?

amazinglarry

]]> <![CDATA[LotRO Reaches The Ocean]]> LOTRO does so many things right and so many things so, so, so wrong.

Mohican

]]> <![CDATA[LotRO Reaches The Ocean]]> Based on one of the recent interviews, I'd guess "cold based terrain effects" means damage over time for being in icy water.

Stormwaltz

]]> <![CDATA[LotRO Reaches The Ocean]]> city of heroes has had slippery patches of ice for years now :P
