I have just read about a new game that is in production. It is an online game where you can go anywhere in middle earth.

You have to choose whether to play as a hobbit, dwarf, man or elf. It was not mentioned which time period the game will be based in but I would probably guess sometime in the third age.

Once you have chosen which race your individual will play as you can create what they look like, their skills etc etc.

Excellently every elf, man, dwarf and hobbit you meet will be another person playing on their PC.

Apparently the combat is supposedly looking good as well.

One last thing, the game is based on the books and is not a movie tie in so it won't be made by the mediocore EA Games.

Bad news is its not due till 2006...
