      Yeah, the Legions expansion. In the words of one player on the AC2 forums:

      /So legions was just a way to get a bit more cash from your fans then.

      Thanks for a rollercoaster three years - I sincerely hope you learned a lot and won't **** all over your fans with D&D and LOTRO./

      It's beyond me how Turbine managed to get ahold of not only the D&D licenses but LOTR as well. From the look of the screenshots, I have a feeling both are going to bomb.
