Turbine at work on micro-transaction MMO

MMO developer Turbine has confirmed it is working on an as yet unannounced title based on the micro-transactions business model.

Earlier this week, the developer behind Lord of the Rings Online posted a job listing for a micro-transaction and e-commerce manager, prompting fears by fans of its games that the model would be applied to existing MMOs - a theory Turbine has attempted to quash.

"We know the recent job listing has caused a bit of a stir, but please be aware that this posting is for an unannounced future project," said a company representative in the Lord of the Rings Online forum post.
