LotrO Goes free to play!


BIG BIG Changes afoot for Lotro now - as I've received the official press release to say that Turbine are introducing a new "Free to Play" mechanism.  That means new players (and existing if you wish) can download and play the game for free.. and use an online shop to purchase extra bits n bobs (but NOT high end items - they still only come from quests/crafting).


If you are a lifetime subscriber like me, the GREAT news is that we shall still get to play for free - but as a VIP player - so that's all content, and 500 free points to spend in the shop a month, as if we were paying subscribers.


Today is an important day for LOTRO: we’ve announced that this Autumn, LOTRO will begin offering a Free-to-Play option!  Players will be able to download the game and adventure in Middle-earth for free.  With Free-to-Play comes the addition of the LOTRO Store, where players will have immediate in-game access to a wide variety of special items, account services, and convenience items.  

 

There’s a lot of information to digest, so here are some handy links for you:

As a MMO player that's always liked LotRO, even after moving on, I fancied this change as a way to play casually. But looks can be deceiving. I did some digging, and found it was simply an unlimited trial, with half the content disabled. I'm not too fond of that idea.
Krispy on June 06 2010 15:33:36
they were never going to give ALL the content away for free. they give you all the original game, plus all the updates (not Moria onwards), for free tho. that's months of content.

Also, I'm guessing that it will mean that F2P is a bit like (and priced the same as) the lifetime sub, but in stages, so purchase the bits you want to play and you have them for ever. Absolutely perfect for additional accounts, so I'll be back on the US servers again smiley

Maybe we'll also see the LOTRO on-line features in the EU to stop everyone moving to the US? Here's hoping!

Sperm whales feeding even in the most remote reaches of Earth's oceans have built up stunningly high levels of toxic and heavy metals, according to American scientists who say the findings spell danger not only for marine life but for the millions of humans who depend on seafood.

A report released Thursday noted high levels of cadmium, aluminum, chromium, lead, silver, mercury and titanium in tissue samples taken by dart gun from nearly 1,000 whales over five years. From polar areas to equatorial waters, the whales ingested pollutants that may have been produced by humans thousands of miles away, the researchers said.

Free to Play - what do you think?

Oh no.. that's it.. game over

Doesn't sound like a good thing

Not really bothered

Unsure what it all means

Good stuff, I might start playing again

As a lifetime, it sounds fine, nothing changes
