We want to give players a lot of space with their homes, and give them choices in where they live. Scenario: “It’s tied in with wanting to deliver on those quintessential experiences. We also want them to feel like they are a part of the world, instead of some pocket off to the side, which is how most of our other housing was implemented.”ģ- Where did this idea of two separate neighborhoods comes from? Scenario: “The neighborhoods are meant to evoke two quintessential Rohan experiences: living on the grassy plains and farmlands, and living in the rugged and wooded foothills of Rohan. While doing that, it felt right to use the Helm’s Deep update for the Legendary worlds as the right time to introduce new housing.”Ģ- In a few words, how would you describe the two new neighborhoods? Scenario: “When the Legendary Servers were launched, it gave us the chance to go back and polish parts of the game.

In some even more exciting Rohan Housing news, a few weeks ago I had the opportunity to ask a few questions of the developers who worked on the two new neighborhoods! After a brief delay, I am finally able to publish that interview today! If you missed the new neighborhoods on Bullroarer, you can find D&Co’s summary articles here: Rohan Housing Preview Summary The official release will occur this summer, at the same time as the release of Helm’s Deep on the legendary servers. We have gotten a good look at Rohan Housing already on Bullroarer (the beta server). Rohan Housing is coming soon and who better to talk to about it than the creators themselves?!
