I finally got the Special Edition in the mail today. Which I paid $14.99 for it because of a deal they had.

Some pretty cool extra stuff they give ya with this. Can't wait to start playing the game more now! Might post some video content later on.

So after trying the trial a second time (I tried it a while back, but never got into it) I have officially dropped my WoW sub and have signed up for this. I got bored of the story and everything in WoW and I wanted something new, and it looks like LOTRO is the one for me. We'll see how long I stay, but I'm liking it a lot so far.

I'm currently a founder and have a lifetime subscription. I have been in the game since pre-beta2. I have two toons a lvl 50 LM and a 44 Hunter. If you have any questions feel free to ask I will answer them to the best of my ability. Also I'm on the Windfola server if anyone cares to join me, its a great server.

Is the lifetime account option still available? What will happen with the release of the first expansion? Will it cover it as well, or you're bound to purchased it aside?

Googling it, it seems that the character development is pretty much linear (you have to purchase skills but you can use them all), and there's some boosters called traits that you can customize at will, but are limited to slot space/level. Correct?

From Wikipedia:

In North America, players who pre-ordered the game were offered a special founder's offer, a lifetime subscription for $199 or reduced cost of $9.99 per month. Standard month fee is $14.99 with three, six and twelve month discounts available. European players had a similar program from Codemasters.

The special edition, which costs $10 more than the regular edition, includes a full-color manual, an item called "Glass of Aglaral", a cloak of regeneration, which is visually different from the one in the regular edition, a "Making of" DVD, soundtrack, and a free 10-day buddy key.

(~_~)

This is bull****. And since I'm at work, I can't investigate this further.

First, I signed to beta test it.

I downloaded the client during the night and installed it in the morning. I couldn't log in. So, I checked my email and the website... to find out that the test was closed.

200 dollars (or < euros) are a lot of bling for a ?400-a-month guy, and I really wonder if in 30 years the game would still be online. (Better question: would humans still be alive in 30 years?).

Yea, that is what I got, but paid normal price for it, 2 sweet!

Lifetime sub is sitll available for a one-time fee of $299 for non-founders.

PvMP in LOTRO is quite fun and I fancy it quite often. It is a zone that you must be lvl 40 before you can go in to the zone to fight. On the monster side you play a creep that is lvl 50 and gain abilities by gaining ranks and completing quests, I personally have not done much on the creep side, but the freep side is a blast.

      I think every American should have a course in a 'dry sense of humour' at school; and perhaps 'using sarcasm in jest' oh, and also 'the use or irony in humour'.
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
