Significant leadership change at Turbine

Players had FAQs and charts and numerous interviews to read, digest and figure out what it meant for the future of the game once official word hit that LotRO was indeed going free-to-play.

It's understandable that a second big announcement would get lost amid the flurry of F2P frenzy, especially since it was packaged in with the F2P announcement itself. However, now that things have settled somewhat, it's important to recognize a significant leadership change at Turbine. Kate Paiz has taken over as Executive Producer for the title, following in Jeffrey Steefel's footsteps, who has moved on to a new project at Turbine.
