On a similar note, the oft-quoted “Only 10% of our players raid” figure is, in Aylwen’s mind, “a juked number.”
Monster players were conceived of as “literally playable NPCs” and testing was usually light to nearly non-existent, as “the class devs weren’t required to consider the effects of their changes vis-à-vis PvMP.”
Some changes, such as the class redesign and the removal of stars in PvMP, were brought about by a developer listening to a very small number of voices on the forums, not because of any request by a great number of players.
When the end comes for LOTRO, it’ll be sudden, Aylwen thinks. “When they do finally kill it I wouldn’t expect much in the way of a warning: nobody is going to drop money on micro transactions for a game slated to shut down in two or three months.”
