The Lord of the Rings: Online has posted up a new developer diary that looks into the Rise of Isengard update that adds thousands of NPC’s on-screen in battle without sacrificing performance. If you’ve played any MMO you know the more people on screen the worse an MMO gets and usually it ends up slowing the game to a crawl so this is definitely interesting to hear that they’ve given an MMO a grand sense of scale. It should be out in the fall and only then will we know just how well they’ve pulled this feat off.
