Standing Stone Games, a newly-independent studio staffed by people who have been working on DDO and LOTRO for many years. Quote from Jerry Snook (on the record) - who is moving to Standing Stone Games:   “Standing Stone Games is independently owned, and has no connection to Turbine or WB.”   Our development continues on track, and the plans we have already announced remain firmly in our future view. Again, although we are a new studio, we are also the same developers who have been and will continue to work on our games.
