Lord of the Rings Online Producer Outlines Future Functionality for Loot Boxes

The Lord of the Rings Online producer has taken to the game’s official forums to post a note to players about changes coming to the loot box system with the arrival of Update 23. The basic premise is that, while loot boxes will still be present, they will never contain gear that can’t be earned through completing content or by purchasing it from vendors with in-game currency.
