[TheMrSima1]

[iAmDeathSpank]

Can anybody explain the difference between VIP and Premium?

[zeitser21]

how is the game's population? is it hard to find groups?and raids? what do u recommend? i am thinking bout getting please commeny any1?

[Belac285]

@zeitser21 the population is not small by any means. you won't have any trouble finding groups or raids. and the community is awesome!

[samme610]

LOTRO GOES FREE AWESOME

[jakascott21]

wow, the nazgul look badass, i cannot wait until i get a lotro subscription and raid that fortress with a party

[Drackulis1]

Are the skirmishes free? :p

[hurmet]

So basicly they've stolen the captain's pet and given it to everyone, how is that fair? don't see everyone running around with the lore-masters pets...

[19jojo93]

Hmmm I disagree

Captains can have a Soldier and a Herald out at the same time, and 90% of captains dont even use the herald right?

Plus the soldier can only be used in a skirmish :)

[hurmet]

Some captains do, especially their archers and oathbreakers, but this isn't the first time they took something captain changed it a little and gave it to everyone else, should have seen the rage from the captain community when they added summoning horns to the camp sites.

[powerslayer94]

not really u can trait them,train skills and u cant controll them as good as a captain can

[Agomongo1235]

@hurmet no i dont think he did i think he cheated

[Eadlir]

i love the emote-on-horse thing xD

[cloudedbyagony]

Radiance armor is cool, and you can get it pretty easily as long as you're not too LAZY or incompetent.

[rascherubim]

it has nothing to do with lazy or incompetence my friend, 4 most (not all)u know it is hard to get a good 12 man group,and even if you have one i dont have to tell you the odds of rolling between 12 ppl and win the item,and the odds become even smaller because you need,for instance all 6 items.If you are in a hardcore kin its np,but they are few.The majority of players are the casual players they make the game work sort a speak for them its hard to get all pieces,and a pug is not the solution..

[BatShvit]

very cool!!!

[rascherubim]

FOK RADIANCE ARMOUR!!!! biggest mistake they have made!

[arwen928]

I agree totally with that!!!! without it you can't do f**king shit! they made most instances harder to get the rad too so F*** rad armour lol

[powerslayer94]

no its not !!!!

[DrissirD]

This looks awesome... I think I'll buy it now... Other "new" mmos just suck and I'm waiting for Diablo 3 and Guild Wars 2.. so untill they release... :p

[Raposaum]

Ok one thing NO ONE is able to answer me is:

I already pay for multi-month (6-month) and my next billing is set up for january

So do I have to do anything else to play the expansion? or will it be avaliable for me as it is?

Please I need to know this

[jah3986]

it's free if you extended it as far as January. I just renewed mine and plenty of my kin told me that you don't have to pay for SoM so long as you extended a multi month before Oct. 31st.

[jah3986]

As long as it's past the Release date, which is dec.1st...You're alright as far the payment goes.

[Raposaum]

yes TY! before I saw your reply I also found this on the forums

Turbine apologized for not making this clear in their announcement and confirmed that any extended accounts with expiration date post Dec 1st will get SoM for free

I'll skirmish my ass off =)

[BalanceofEternity]

yes as long as you do not cancel your Sub, its a free download.

[dtownsend96]

all the multi month plans get the expansion free

[Hyperion223]

just the improvement about the combat system being more resposive will be awesome!!

[Dezizz]

OMG!!!! I'm going to pee my pants from excitement!!!!

[lawlman2277]

Hey jeff, do you think u can give me an inv to the beta? cmon man! i pay for it :P really i do 30$... cmon man...

[SilentGuyOfCanada]

How much does it cost? 20 bucks? 10 bucks? And I hope there's a new class. Whatever, I like what they've done with the horses though, but the combat has always been good.

[powerslayer94]

the skrimish seems to be boring -_-

[KingChozin]

no new characters ?

[AJClochette25]

It's about FUKKING TIME turbine!!! you asshats....not being able to talk to an npc or vendors or zoning on your horse was so fukking stupid

Bank and sharing of items with alts..ABOUT FUKKING TIME!!

Your combat was always very responsive, always was...it didnt need tweeking but oh well

Turbine pissed alot of people off and they left the game because of stupid little things...ABOUT FUKKING TIME they changed some things

I hope you can get them back Turbine you assclowns!

[EliteGhostR]

damn, I hope its cheap/free :)

[KingChozin]

no :(

it will cost 20 bucks

[jah3986]

It's free if you upgrade your account on a multi-month. But if you pay 20 bucks for the expansion you get extra stuff in the game like 2 additional character slots, a few inventory items and such.

[EliteGhostR]

oh ok, so I have lifetime so it should be free right?

[jah3986]

You still have to buy it I think..Not sure.

[jah3986]

I might have been mistaken. I think you don't have to, all I read is that if you have a multi-month subscription - It's free as long as it extends all the way up to Dec. 1st - Which is the Expansion date. It never mentioned in my email if you had to pay or not, I'm paying the extra 20 anyways.

[Bluetus1]

Thanks for very constructive response. :P

[ulaniks]

fckn amazing.

[Chad01234]

ANother pve expansion:? Where's the epic battles...Helm's Deep!

[Mixxathon]

That one will be a major expansion. The star of this expansion will be the NEW GOAT, the Wild Goat nonetheless. I thank Eru for this inclusion. The game was beginning to feel a bit lacking in the goat department. Now we can have goats in the wild instead of just horses. Perhaps they will rename the Horseplains of Rohan to Goatplains, since you know that everyone will strut with their blinged out goats to no end. Prancing Goats everywere you look. Hmmm... I'm not sure I like this goat-thing...

[cromahzone]

is there an extra ction bar then?

cause all my actionbars i got now are full with skills XD

[cromahzone]

its a digital expansion so its just download. don't need to buy it

[xMelvinSmileyx]

Wrong.

[deytrox]

No it is a digital expansion and you do download it.

[Jsimp0487]

wrong. it's $20

[MeryaBlackfoot]

Will it be a free update to the game ?

[Mixxathon]

It is always nice to see new stuff to this wonderful game. Not really sure if I like all of the things they have done with Tolkiens creation, but overall... who can really complain when one is able to actually walk around in Middle Earth?

[thagnomus]

i agree with you, but i wonder what he would have said if he lived to see the movies and games?

[Zachpaul95]

so how would you download this when it is released, from the site, or what?

[Bluetus1]

Ye its digital upgrade so you download it prolly from client or standalone patcher what can be downloaded from site.

[thomassauce2]

looks awesome : ) when it comes out? dont think so long until cause it looked wery finished :P

[Mynameisaw]

Autumn/Fall is the expected release, so october/November

[mondaymassacre]

Thanks for uploading this mate :)

[Sirmalice192837]

so a skirmish is like an instance or something?

anyways awesome with the new soldiers feature, and its just the start of it all cant wait for the expansions after this and so on

[Mynameisaw]

Skirmishes are world instances, you choose the difficulty setting/level/party size, so it's a fluid experience that changes each time.

[Herrkrabba123]

Im looking forward to this expansion. I hope that Mirkwood is big enough.

[Re1z0r]

They will add only the Southern Mirkwood, so incase its too small it's still going to be expanded, hopefully.

[Masta200]

yes Mirkwood is huge.. much bigger than Moria. We will only get southern Mirkwood though. Just a guess but I think that when the hobbit movies come out they will expand the area north into dale and the lonely mountain.

[powerslayer94]

This game looks AWSOME

[Bluetus1]

it is awesome game :) Cant wait this expansion.

[Isterbandet1]

Do you know if there will be more classes?

[lotromusic]

Nope, no new classes.

[Mynameisaw]

It's unlikely, the expansion is a micro expansion (hence only costing $19.99) so it's unlikely that there will be a new class, maybe in the next major expansion.

[skitty15ara]

NOO we don't need any new classes :), we have to many already

[jakascott21]

@Bluetus1 will it include rohan and gondor? If yes, screw my World of warcraft subscription, time for lotro subscription
