Turbine Entertainment Software: Middle-Earth Online: "The Lord of the Rings: Middle-Earth Online (sometimes abbreviated to Middle-Earth Online or MEO) will be the ultimate Online Role Playing Experience. Fans of Tolkien, and of fantasy in general, will be immersed in the epic conflict of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

Players will be adventurers, fighting against or with the forces of evil, all across the lands featured in the books; explorers, charting new domains and unexplored depths, or master craftsmen, serving the towns or cities of Middle-earth. They will be able to own homes in signature locations like Bree, The Shire, or the deep woods near Elrond's realm of Rivendell. MEO will also provide an opportunity for fans to experience the story of the Fellowship from a powerful new perspective -- that of the peoples of Middle-earth. They will witness and participate in the tumultuous impact of the War of the Ring on the lands and feel the chaos stirred by the passage of the Fellowship. As citizens of Middle-earth, they will be called upon to choose a side, and in so doing, forge their own destiny.

Set for release in 2005, the stunning world of Middle Earth will be brought to life by Turbine and is being published by Vivendi Universal Games.
