Exclusive LOTRO Mines of Moria "Releasing the Balrog" Video

In all of the epic works of J.R.R. Tolkien, few creatures have inspired as much awe, fear and imagination as the Balrog that the Fellowship faces in the Mines of Moria. This creature - the Lord of Fire and Shadow - wasn't always free within the confines of Moria, and the developers of Lord of the Rings Online have created a specific player encounter to document how the Dwarves unleashed this demon. The Ten Ton Hammer staff has your exclusive look at the "Releasing of the Balrog" video and an in-depth tour of the Mines of Moria, so make sure you check them both out immediately!

it looks like a fantastic encounter, any hints on what to expect after that scene ??

I'm not entirely sure - from what I could tell it's pretty much just a "look and run away" sort of encounter.

I would be too mesmerized to run away, I see a death sequence in my future.

That video is awesome, I can't believe you caught that in such detail.

There are so many great games and expansions I feel like a candy store, but on one of those shopper shows where you only have so much time to grab all you can. I want to play them all but I have so little time!!!!
