Middle-earth Network Press Release:
John Di Bartolo, Middle Earth Network Founder talking about launching LOTRO Players:
“I’m really excited about LOTRO Academy and others joining the new hub for LOTRO players hosted on the Middle-earth Network. As often as possible I try to tell everyone that the Middle-earth Network’s principal founders met within Lord of the Rings Online. And as the founder of Lonely Mountain Band, Ales & Tales, and one of the original founders of Weatherstock; LOTRO obviously holds a special place in my gaming heart, and having LOTRO Players launch on MyMiddle-earth is the perfect home. I hope all LOTRO players will make MyMiddle-earth their blogging home and help us continue to make it a virtual “Prancing Pony” for all like-minded gamers and fantasy/sci-fi enthusiasts.”
Joel Shepherd, the Lead Director of LOTRO Players on the launch of the site:
“I am very excited to be launching a new LOTRO site designed to bring the LOTRO Community closer together than before. With several content creators all in one well-organized website, LOTRO Players allows users to see a large amount of LOTRO fan content with ease. Moving forward LOTRO Players hopes to continue to grow and bring new LOTRO content creators to the network.”
David Lambert, Creator of LOTRO Academy on the switch to LOTRO Players:
“I think LOTRO Players is a great fit for LOTRO Academy and I’m very excited to bring the LOTRO Academy podcast to LOTRO Players and Middle-earth Network.”
LOTRO Academy bolsters an already premiere list of podcasts aired on Middle-earth Network, including Warriors of the Westfold, Elder Scrolls: Off the Record, The Tolkien Professor, The Star Wars Report, The Wardens of Westmarch, Stitched Crosses Crusade Radio Drama as well as the #1 Rated Lord of the Rings Online Podcast, A Casual Stroll To Mordor. CSTM was recently rated the #1 Gaming Podcast by Massively Magazine in 2010.
Middle-earth Network is committed to bringing you high quality content, and the creation of LOTRO Players furthers that vision.
