LOTRO Lorebook

Lorebook home - LOTRO LorebookWhile I love the idea of the newly beta’d Lord of the Rings Online Lorebook — basically, a LOTRO wiki with game info of all flavors — and I love the idea that the lorebook will be editable by players in the future, (though I KNOW that will be a nightmare to manage and police), but, … isn’t the home page a little too WoWish?

I realize that aged parchment has to be yellowed or weathered in some way, but I would have steered clear of Bright! Gold! parchment and maybe gone for browner aging or the palest of yellows. The metal borders add to the Warcraft feel too, although they’re using something similar on the LOTRO main page and I’m not getting the same vibe.

If it was me, I’d be a little sensitive to the WoW-clone wisecracks and I’d make sure the look was unique enough so I could say, “what in the hell are you people talking about?”
