Lord of the Rings Online will now be free. http://www.lotro.com/betasignup/

Which means us paying customers get extra goodies when it switches over.

HALLELUJAH! I can finally play again! Did they say if you need to buy a new version of the game or anything?

...This better not be a trick Willret!

And there's a new expansion pack coming centered on Mirkwood. Should be good!

[Faolan]

The Mirkwood expansion is out now, I just reactivated my account and will be getting the expansion activated shortly. I'm on the Vilya server. My main is an Elf Hunter named Orofyn.

It goes to the free-play version this fall and will be setup like the Dungeons and Dragons Online free version. Paying members get 500 points a month to use on the store.

Hmm, the slow internet connection and the lack of funds have been the two things to keep me from signing up in the past. We now have DSL, so the connection speed is taken care of. Now the cash flow problem will soon be gone.

I'm a member on Runescape. One paid online game is enough for our wallets for now.

Interesting news!, pity my computer can't handle the game....

Guess I'll have to wait for War in the North on Consoles!

[Dinendir.]

My laptop just crashed. Sadly.
It's gonna take it a while to get fixed, I don't have a lot of funds.
All in all, though, I do believe the game is going to be amazing.
I've been wanting to play for a while now.

[Faolan]

War in the North does look interesting, I may be switching games when that one comes out!

Any mention of a Mac version? I know I could run widows in boot camp but I just hate winblows and refuse to give Mr gates upwards of $129 just to play a game or two.

Didn't see one, but you can check it out here;
