Nice. I’m getting the impression that ever since Paiz is out of the picture it seems they’re slowly trying to win us back. I’m not saying they’re flawless, not saying everything is back to the way it was, but I’m finally seeing genuine attempts.
Proud lotro player here, sorry.
Don’t be sorry for being proud of playing LOTRO! I believe it is a wonderful game. I too am a proud player of LOTRO.
Great idea from Turbine. I actually had a (failed) attempt at streaming the other day. I managed to record some soundless footage of Winterstock (doh!).
Which streaming program did you use? OBS is a good choice – I’ve got a tutorial on how to set it up here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQYF3pokL60. If you’ve got any questions or need help just let me know! 🙂
This has proven to be VERY Popular for DDO.I’m not surprised that Turbine is giving this a go with LOTRO as well..
So, Turbine wants to show to the world that crazy long loading time ? 🙂
I’ve been interested in streaming for some time but my ISP doesn’t provide anything other than 900k up.
With 900kbps upstream, you could probably still broadcast at 854×480 @ 15fps. As long as they’re not trying to read in-game chat or quest text, this is surprisingly watchable for your viewers.
Very true… not gonna look stellar but it should be able to work at those settings.
