LotRO two-year anniversary… Goodies & cheaper prices!

So LotRO is 2. Awwww lookit ‘im! He’s growing so fast. Actually, I’m a bit bummed about the whole $9.99 pricing for Moria and SoA. I just spent $50 for the same package, not 3 weeks ago. Gahhhh! Oh well. It’s a good game and it’s worth it. You all should go spend $50 on it too! Support the wee MMOs!

Anyway, there’s some cool stuff coming down the pike with Book 8, as described on Massively, Dol Guldur, Sauron’s old fortress. Sweet. And they don’t stop there – they’re also adding Mirkwood – of the giant spiders from the Hobbit. Awesome. Head on over to Massively for the full scoop.

Anniversary Bonuses

To help promote LotRO for new players, Turbine is offering a special anniversary pricing plan for all subscriptions of 3 months or more. From April 24th through June 30th, players can choose any multi-month plan (90 days or longer) and lock in a monthly price of $9.99 for as long as they maintain that plan. Plus, the game itself is $9.99 on the company’s e-store through this promotional period.

During the anniversary celebration, monsters throughout Middle-earth will drop special rare items that can be exchanged for a gift box that will reward them with a variety of in-game items to aid in their adventures in Middle-earth. Plus, anyone with an active subscription on June 30th will receive a special in-game gift called the Writ of Passage which provides 20% discounts at stable masters throughout Middle-earth.
