With the pre purchase bundles released, Cordovan reacts to an interview about the Mordor expansion

00:00 - 00:05 So we announced the Mordor expansion earlier this year

00:05 - 00:07 Everyone was so hyped

00:07 - 00:10 in the stream and on the forums

00:11 - 00:16 So we released the pre purchase bundles this month

00:17 - 00:21 130 dollars for the ultimate fan bundle

00:21 - 00:24 130 dollars

00:29 - 00:31 and the best part is

00:31 - 00:34 it doesnt even include anything worth that price

00:38 - 00:40 but people are still going to buy it

00:41 - 00:47 Everyone thought we would make this the best expansion ever

00:47 - 00:50 We even made a new race, High Elves

00:50 - 00:56 hyped it for months, everyone was excited

00:58 - 00:59 and now it turns out

00:59 - 01:01 its not even in the base edition

01:04 - 01:06 40 dollars for the high elf

01:06 - 01:08 can you believe it?

01:13 - 01:14 It gets better

01:14 - 01:16 you cant even buy it in the lotro store

01:16 - 01:20 its only available in the winter

01:21 - 01:27 so now people will be forced to buy it with real money

01:35 - 01:36 what a marketing strategy

01:36 - 01:39 just lock it for half a year after release

01:41 - 01:44 No but seriously

01:44 - 01:47 We have some new features planned

01:47 - 01:49 there's this allegiance system

01:50 - 01:53 basically a glorified reputation grind

01:54 - 01:56 for each faction

01:56 - 01:58 with no real rewards

01:58 - 02:02 we thought Hytbold was fun

02:05 - 02:07 so we made another useless grind system

02:10 - 02:11 just like the flowers

02:11 - 02:13 being the only end game for months

02:15 - 02:17 we even made a dev diary

02:17 - 02:20 filled with only 10 sentences

02:21 - 02:28 so I guess I can say the expansion will be a succes

02:29 - 02:30 Great job

02:30 - 02:32 Great job he says

02:36 - 02:39 We even tricked Chance Thomas in coming back

02:40 - 02:42 so the music will be on point

02:50 - 02:55 There's also a new Valar gift

02:56 - 02:58 what does it do?

02:58 - 03:04 Brings you to level 105 and gives some bonusses

03:04 - 03:09 like virtue increase and some gear

03:09 - 03:11 its very special

03:16 - 03:20 it costs 7000 LP in the store

03:23 - 03:26 only for the 10 levels extra
