A fan of the somewhat outdated Free2Play MMO Lord of the Rings Online has given the characters a makeover.
World of Warcraft, even older than Lord of the Rings Online, has shown how to do it with great effort; now a fan follows suit in Lord of the Rings Online: The characters are getting a new look.
Of course, the reddit poster “Norael” does not have the resources of Blizzard, but with a bit of tweaking, pulling, cleaning, and smoothing, one can still make significant progress. At least that’s what some fans on reddit and US MMO magazines reported.
For those rejoicing at the pictures: There is no way to implement these “new and improved” textures into the game. But perhaps something will change in the future.
Recently, a fan single-handedly completed an outstanding trailer for the game for Guild Wars 2; in Lord of the Rings Online, a dedicated fan is also doing impressive work. Maybe this will become a new trend.
