Lord of the Rings Online to get social networking web site


Turbine has been promoting its upcoming Lord of the Rings Online expansion pack Mines of Moria for the past several months but the developer has some other plans for their fantasy MMO as well. Gamasutra reports from the Tokyo Game Show that Turbine plans to launch a Facebook-like social networking web site around the game sometime before the end of 2008.

Turbine CEO Jim Crowley stated during his presentation that the web site would contain features like player profiles, friends, character achievements, blog sites, and player created videos and screenshots. Turbine's other two current MMO titles, Dungeons and Dragons Online and Asheron's Call, will also have similar social networked sites in the near future.
